Illustration Portfolio 2024 • Steph Calvert

L et ’ s W ork t ogether ! The pieces in this portfolio are client projects and self directed pieces that can be an inspiration for a brand new custom project. Let’s work together soon!

I’m a friendly one-eyed illustrator with a boisterous laugh and 24 years of experience working as a professional artist and designer. I live in McDonough, Georgia (just south of Atlanta) with my awesome husband Josh, two ridiculously funny kids, and a pile of happy rescue animals.

I creates art infused with fun, bright colors, hand-lettered typography, and cute expressive characters. Major strengths include digital painting with a retro gouache vibe, classic line drawings, and the sense of humor that comes from watching Airplane, Spaceballs, and Blues Brothers 5,000 times as a kid.

In 2024, I won the Liz Conrad Award for Illustration through SCBWI. I am the Henry County Local Liason for the Southern Breeze region of Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators and I’m currently querying literary agents with my first author / illustrator picture book projects. I have previously illustrated the Dinosaur Daydreams series for Capstone Publishing, along with two coloring books for independent publisher Colorful Cities.

I earned my BFA in Computer Art with a focus on traditional 2D animation at Savannah College of Art and Design in 1999. I have experience speaking for audiences of all ages, and have five years of teaching experience. Clients include Ooly, Trader Joe’s, Capstone Publishing, Visit Henry County, and The City of Stockbridge..

I’m available for illustration, art licensing and surface design, mural painting and custom art, and would love to hear from you at stephcalvertart@gmail.com.
