【Introduction of Labels】
《Man in a Film Noir》
This one’s pure film noir with a splash of Caribbean heat. I imagined a guy who’s halfway through a heist—a real smooth operator, sharp suit, shadowed jawline, cigarette dangling from his lips. He’s double-crossed everyone in the room, and they all know it, but somehow, he’s still the one holding all the cards. Every scar has a backstory, but not a single one’s the truth. I couldn’t decide if he’s the hero or the villain, but maybe that’s the point. He doesn’t care what you think, and honestly, neither do I.

About Artist：Steve McDonald
Steve Mcdonald is a widely recognized Canadian illustrator. His work has taken many forms over the years but he is best known for his highly detailed line drawings and fantastical illustrations of both architecture and landscapes. He is an international best-selling author and illustrator with his coloring book series from Chronicle Books. Recently he produced four new sketch books with Field Notes as their spring 2023 editions. A few past notable clients include Architectural Digest, Blueman Group, Amazon Prime, Entertainment Weekly, and The Atlantic.
To classify Steve's work one should look at his influences: Moebius, Terry Gilliam, Luc Besson, Imperial Boy, Hayao Miyazaki, Roger Dean, Noriyoshi Ohrai, Looney Tunes, and then painters like the Canadian Group of Seven, N.C. Wyeth, Norman Rockwell, and Frank Frazetta. His new work could be best described as 'escapist fantastical realism'. Steve believes almost all approaches and tools are legitimate as long as the work you are producing is striving to be singular and unique. He also believes in having fun and hopefully making you smile! Steve was educated at The Ontario College of Art and Design. He was born in Toronto, Canada and has lived in India, Indonesia, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Canada. He has two grown daughters and a wonderful partner and presently lives in rural Ontario.
