Steve Rawlings has been working as an illustrator since the early 90's, evolving a style which merges traditional and digital photographic techniques with an expressionistic and painterly collage style first explored during his arts degree at the Kent Institute of Art. Incorporating found and self generated textures, elements and images. Steve layers these often "flawed" elements to create striking, beautiful and evocative work allowing the detail of defect to juxtapose with that of refined manipulation and so creating images with an inherent depth and tension.
Working extensively within the publishing and editorial industries worldwide, with an array of book credits, posters and CD covers to his name he has found equal success in the corporate and commercial sectors.
