Biography

Steve's fantasy artwork adorns fantasy publications, from books to puzzles, greeting cards, RPG games and more. The artwork can make or break a game, and draw you into that special fantasy novel. The artist must create characters that live and breathe. Steve accomplishes this in his many magical illustrations he has created. Steve's work is always a standout, his grasp of color and composition enables him to bring a story to life with the magic and wonder that only an artist with the unique vision and skill of Steve A Roberts can accomplish. A talented artist of vision and technique, Steve A Roberts is entirely self-taught in his skills. This he did by studying the works of his childhood heroes - legendary fantasy artists like Frank Frazetta and The Brothers Hildebrandt. Steve received his only formal training, when he sat in on classes at the Ringling School Of Art.
Steve was born in central Florida, in a little town called Palmetto, a stones throw from the Gulf of Mexico, this is where he began drawing at an early age. Steve always was expressing his creative side, he drew or painted on everything, trying to show others what he had locked up in his imagination trying to get out. Sometimes this got him into trouble. Like when the subject at hand was not very exciting, his mind would go to other worlds on great adventures, that spued forth from his pencil or colored marker, out onto his desk top. These wonders of magical color and imagination were not met with much approval from his non- appreciative elders. Steve did manage to impress his teachers later with his skill by winning art contest at the local fair and coming in first at Halloween window painting. Steve even managed to receive a scholarship for his artwork in high school.
Later he took classes at the Bradenton art league, where Steve met some wonderful artist. His passion for color was brought out at this time in his work by studying the artwork of his teachers and art heros, such as the great Frank Frazetta. Steve continued to study and started to sell more of his artwork in local galleries and at shows around Florida. He even did some airbrush work on vans and boats, in Florida and Oregon, which were quite popular at the time.
Still looking for adventure and inspiration Steve traveled to Alaska, a place that had always stirred in his imagination. Steve spend twelve years, Living in the valley, a beautiful place outside of Anchorage in the small town of Wasilla, it only had one caution light at the time, and mostly dirt roads.
In that time Steve worked construction, but still had time to do a few commissioned murals and commercial advertising jobs. After a few years, Steve bought 40 acres outside of Palmer, still in the valley. There he built his own log home by hand, using the trees from the property. This was back in God's country at the foot of the most beautiful mountains on earth. This place inspired Steve's passion for painting even more, with it's beauty and harmony. This was a great place for painting and reflecting on life and the wonders of this magical wild land.
But after a time, Steve started to miss the calm warm breezes of the land of his birth in the south. Returning to Florida, Steve and his future wife Retia, "did we mention that Retia and Steve had met in Alaska and she helped with the building of their home in Palmer", purchased another forty acres near the Suwannee River.
This is where Steve discovered the new world of the computer and the wonders of digital art. At first it was all confusing, but slowly Steve had a beautiful realization, I can use these digital tools, like PHOTO-SHOP to make art with. It was very slow at first but as Steve learned, the more control he had over his new tools. He was starting to put out some amazing artwork, with these digital paint bushes and people noticed.
But if it were not for another completely new learning experiance Steve had of building his own website and displaying his art on the web things might have took a great deal longer to break into commercial illustration. Within a year of Steve putting his work on line he had his frist nine artworks published by PALLADIUM BOOKS for their RPG cards set "RIFTS". Click on the Palladium link to see an example of one of these,FIRE DEMON. Soon Steve did his first fantasy book cover and after that his work started to become very popular with fantasy publishers and those that love fantasy. Soon after this Steve's artwork was published by Ceaco Puzzles, you can find many of Steve's fantasy artworks there

What Author, Scot R. Stone, had to say about Steve's artwork.

When searching for an artist that could capture the world of Elvana for The Snowtear Wars series, SCOT R. STONE discovered the world of Steve A. Roberts. "His work is beautiful and intelligent, a tribute to the realm of superior fantasy art," Stone says when describing Steve's work. "Steve has surpassed my expectations each time he has completed a cover for one of my novels." Fans have not only come to enjoy the story of the series Stone writes, but also the package it comes in. "My goal is to give the reader something they don't want to give up. There are few books that I have that I truly cherish. A lot can be said about authors and publishers if they put out a quality product-- inside and out. There are many stories that die in the marketplace, simply because they do not have the proper representation for the story on the cover.
