ohio artist steve hughes originally went to kent state university to focus on the graphic design program, but his first basic drawing course was the gateway to the world of illustration.

steve’s illustrations are created in traditional media like acrylic, collage, and oil. he uses digital techniques for professional design and sketchwork.

i love how his rich illustration style gives the viewer such a satisfying feeling of being intimately familiar with the subject matter. i’m also enjoying the humorous visual metaphors in his pen-and-ink-looking work.
