Hello.
![StevenPierce.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/52f937_33148b9c6f9441baa38d9129f85e1a5d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_197,h_285,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/StevenPierce.jpg)
My name is Steve Pierce. I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and a professional artist since graduating high school. I first worked in web design, marketing agencies, as a clothing designer, and then as a freelance artist since 2011. As a freelancer, I began with illustrated merchandise designs, album art and logos for bands, and then began working in the Entertainment and Gaming Industries in 2012. The heart of what I love and aim for is character-driven storytelling, pushing visuals to an over-the-top, but not absurd level.
​
I run a Patreon to begin sharing the knowledge I've accumulated, and to help others.
​
I am a father and husband, and have way too many cats. I love reading, music, and hockey.
