Illustration copyright 2004 Steve BarrYour needs come first

Whether a colorful scene with multiple characters, or a simple character to emphasize a point, I'm ready and able to provide you with custom images to meet your needs, on deadline with a minimum of hassles.

And yes, I do understand your editor may need some changes. Effective final results usually involve some back and forth, and I'm happy to work with you every step of the way.

Here are some samples of my work. Let your imagination go, and have fun!

Cartoons - Dogs - Animals - People - Odds and Ends

We were under the gun to get some cartooning done quickly, and thank goodness we found Steve. Not only did he do a terrific job on the art, he was very professional AND finished well before the deadline. This was a great relief to us, and we certainly plan to hire Steve again (and hopefully give him more time!).

Everyone loves dogs - especially the two-dimensional kind that don't need to be fed and walked!

Black and white dogs enliven print ads, draw children to instructional material, and even... hey, you're the boss. If you need a puppy that won't chew your shoes, let me know!

Fast turnaround time and a cooperative artist! What more could an editor or art director want? My claim to fame is delivering exactly what you need, on time and within your budget.

Whether you're looking for fun activities for a children's magazine (like mazes, hidden pictures or coloring pages) or you need whimsical illustrations for a book, contact me. I'll be happy to work with you to make your next project a success!

Working with Steve is so effortless you'll probably want to pinch yourself to be sure you're not dreaming. In each of the eight books Steve has done for us, he has delivered before deadline, and gotten (the few) changes we've asked for completed almost before we finished asking for them. Kind of amazing, really.
-Doug DuBosque, Art Director, Peel Productions, Inc.
