About

Hi, my name is Stephen Stark, but please just call me Steve. I’m currently an illustrator based in Austin, Texas and have been painting for long enough to still own my original intuos3 drawing tablet.

Currently I’m a Lead Background Supervisor at Powerhouse Animation, working on Netflix’s ‘Castlevania’. In my off-time though, I’ve been slowly chipping away at illustrating a series focusing on the ordinarily-extraordinarily everyday person you find in fantasy settings. To me, those settings ask for a different kind of lifestyle and effort of the common jobs we have in the real world, and I really wanted to create a series that focuses on that idea. Contrasting that though, by the end of the series I hope to have a cast of characters that reflect the various races, genders, bodies, etc that represent how the real world actually is, as opposed to your usual, everyday fantasy stories.

Oh I was told to include this part because I guess it’ll help, but I’ve had the pleasure to have two of my pieces, "Surprise!" and “Soulsmith” make it into Spectrum Fantastic Art, an award-winning annual collection of some of the best Fantastical Art in the world.
