Graphic designer /// Art director /// Illustrator

My name is Stephen (friends call me Steve) and I'm a graphic designer from Holland. I've worked in the advertising business for almost 15 years now and in my free time I like to make artwork, drawings and websites. Now I'm currently working at a big cinema here in my hometown as graphic designer/art director/illustrator. Making artwork for up and comming bands/artists is my passion and I like to help people out who aren't so fortunate to have reached stardom yet. Maybe with a little help from me, myself and photoshop it is possible. If you like my work and you need something (you don't have to be in a band or play guitar) just email me and I'll see what I can do for you.

Profile and core competencies:
I am a good listener and can pick up things very quickly. I can illustrate with pencils and markers but also digital on the computer. My character features are: social, team player but also independent, curious and inquisitive.
