【Introduction of Labels】
-
I started with a goldfish—just a goldfish—and thought, ‘This’ll be fun, something light.’ Fast forward a few hours, and suddenly we’re in space. I have no idea how it happened, but there she was: floating through the cosmos like she owns the place, carrying the weight of a thousand unspoken truths. Is she dreaming of us, or are we dreaming of her? I’ll probably never know. But one thing’s for sure—she’s the kind of muse who leaves you with more questions than answers.

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.
