Born: August 30th, 1972 Birthplace: London, England Education: Self Taught Began professional career: 1992 |
Aspiring to be a professional artist my whole life, I first got involved in drawing at the age of six when I found an artist's original sketchbook laying in my back yard. From that point on I knew that drawing would be my purpose in life. In 1992 I got my professional start drawing caricatures at amusement parks and then went on to establish my own illustration business and caricature concession company called Silvertoons. In 1996 I was hired as a graphic designer for the clothing company "No Fear". Then, in 1997 was hired at Warner Bros. Television Animaton as a character designer and have been working in the animation industry ever since. I enjoy the art of character design so much, that I have also gone on to teach the art form part time. I believe there are three treasures to success in life: Determination, Passion and Desire. These are the three rules I live by, thereby giving me what it takes to keep on drawing. I hope my artwork inspires you, like so many other artists works have inspired me.
Sincerely,
Stephen Silver
