Steve May

Born in Hastings and now a seasoned Londoner Steve has been a life-long doodler, studying fine art and film making in Nottingham and Animation at the Royal College of Art.

Steve has honed his scratchy, spontaneous anarchic illustation style to make him the perfect partner for some of today’s leading childrens authors. His energetic black and white line and anarchist tendencies made him a great match for Puffin's best-selling Dennis the Menace fiction series and with his surreal sense of humour he was a natural pairing for Harry Hill's Matt Mills series and Francesca Simon’s Terrible Viking books published by Faber and Faber.

Steve has been happily immersed in a world of terrible vikings, living beards, Super Nans, talking dogs, farting horses & a graphic novel about talking poo as part of his varied work with authors like Phil Earle, Guy Bass, Gareth P Jones & James Turner.
