My name is Steven Stylianou. I’m a young artist looking for a place to show what I can do. I pride myself on my Character Design in pencil and flash, also Story Development. I am able to draw in different styles ranging from dark & edgy to fun & goofy. In the past years I have had some publication experience. I strive to have this be what I do with my life. I am a very hard worker, fast learner and multi-tasked oriented when it comes to any work that is given to me. I have an Associates Degree in Art received from Katherine Gibbs & a former student from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan . I’m very determined to be a part of a great team of artists. I would really appreciate a chance to show you my many talents. I have dropped some links of my work so that you may view them. Thank you for your time.

-Steve
