Creator & Role Information

Stefan Salinas

Are there any more good old fashioned, hand drawing and painting, flesh-to-brush, pencil and paper, artists out there? Welcome to the world of Stefan Salinas! Here you will find works that convey emotions, intelligence and spirituality. How to engage readers and viewers? How can an image get a fresh look on an old concept? These challenges enliven me, and I try to bring that fiery spirit to the product. I do my best to put my thoughts in the space, place, world of the client's story, vision, etc. I've spent the last few decades creating a graphic novel, illustrating author's works, and writing & illustrating children's books. Along the way I have worked with carpenters, tile printers and stained glass craftsmen to make installations in churches. A mural here, a logo there, some Photoshop employed to design brochures and banners. I was born and reared in that great cosmopolitan cow-town known as Houston, Texas, then moved over to San Francisco, California. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Houston in 1997 and have since busied myself with public commissions, painting and working on books
