I’m a friendly, one-eyed freelance illustrator with a boisterous laugh and over 20 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’m a big fan of going on adventures, binge-watching old episodes of 30 Rock, and being ridiculous for the sake of comedy.

I’m an honest and trustworthy hard worker able to handle multiple freelance projects with finesse. I’m a strong self-starter who collaborates well with a team and takes art direction and revisions in stride. I don’t miss deadlines; my teamwork, problem-solving, and communication skills are top-notch. I have communicated with clients all over the USA via their preferred contact method – phone, text, email, zoom, or carrier pigeon. I have leadership experience reviewing print proofs, creating mood boards for trend research and art direction, and managing team members in other countries.

I create illustrations and graphic designs for books, greeting cards, apparel, marketing materials, and more. My artwork is infused with fun, bright colors, hand-lettered typography, and drawings of cute expressive characters. Some of my major strengths include digital illustration with a retro gouache vibe, classic line drawing, and the sense of humor that comes with watching Airplane, Spaceballs, and Blues Brothers 5,000 times as a kid. I’ve been using the Adobe Creative Suite for 20+ years, with expert skills in PhotoShop and vector illustration in Illustrator, and strong skills in InDesign, and also work in Procreate on iPad Pro. My illustration clients include Ooly, Trader Joe’s, Capstone Publishing, and Visit Henry County.

I’m well-versed in painting large-scale murals in public spaces and creating fine art with markers, pencils, and watercolor/acrylic paint. My public art contributions can be found in several locations in Henry County and beyond.

I am the Henry County Local Liason for the Southern Breeze region of the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators and am currently querying literary agents with my first author/illustrator picture book projects. I earned my BFA in Computer Art with a focus on traditional 2D animation at Savannah College of Art and Design in 1999, have experience speaking at conferences, and have five years of teaching experience for ages 3 through adult.

I’m available for freelance illustration as a children’s book illustrator, surface pattern designer, and mural artist, as well as for line drawings, original art commissions, and logo design projects. I would love to hear from you at stephcalvertart@gmail.com.
