About

My name is Steph Dix. I'm a professional illustrator and portrait artist, with 25 years' experience. I've worked predominantly as a photo-realistic animal artist (mainly graphite pencil that's coloured digitally), and also as an illustrator for most of the large UK publishers - Collins, Usborne, Oxford Press, Folens, etc... but I've only ever written stories for fun. This is my first Kickstarter campaign.

I've always been a fan of graphic novels (I used to love Jamie Hewlett's Tank Girl and Adam Warren's version of Bubblegum Crisis and Dirt Pair) but I was also inspired by the incredible graphic art of Kathe Kollowitz for her raw depiction of human emotion, and Ken Currie for his horrifyingly beautiful and unnerving depictions of the human form. I also liked the art of Otto Dix (his work is fascinating, but I mainly appreciated the fact that my Art Theory teacher was convinced I was related to him and i didn't do much to dispel that idea).
