-<\/p>\n

They say inspiration strikes like lightning, but for this one, it felt more like being dragged into the depths of a stormy sea. There I was, minding my business, when she appeared\u2014wild curls tangled with seaweed, eyes that held centuries of secrets, and a presence that said, \u2018Don\u2019t even think about looking away.\u2019 I have no idea who she is or where she came from, but she\u2019s been haunting my sketchbooks ever since. Honestly, I think she enjoys it.<\/p>\n

\u3010Introduction of Artist\u3011<\/p>\n

About Artist\uff1aSteve McDonald<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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!\u00a0\nSteve 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
