Steven Byron

Steven Byron artist, illustrator and graphic designer, let 30 students take over his home. During a visit to his house in New Jersey we were introduced not only to the generosity of his hospitality but also a private viewing of his beautifully made work. Mr Byron has produced Album covers for some of the most prestigious names in the music business as well as book covers and posters. His work was varied and would range from collage, oil paintings, sculpture and photography. He has been working since the 70s  and it was fascinating that his work still looked as current and that he had embraced the digital age with ease. Mixing both practices together he had produced some really interesting results and he stated that since discovering photoshop he loves to play with his designs to see how far he can push them. I found it encouraging to listen to him explaining his journey as an artist and that he does not believe in defining your work it to a category . He believes you should make, design, approach your work as you feel fits at the time. His advice was really encouraging and he was enthusiastic about us being young designers. He is still enjoying his work and likes to keep experimenting with different practices. Meeting this man was a fantastic experience.
