Interview: Steven Stufflebeam

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how you got started as a professional artist?
​
A: In about the 5 grade my sister had given me a pen that had a picture of Disney's Goofy on the cap. For fun I wanted to see if I could draw it. Though it looked pretty terrible my mother, who also enjoyed art, encouraged me to continue to draw.
   Over the years I grew a love for creating things. I look back at my younger years as an artist and I am actually still embarrassed of my past but that didn't stop me from trying.
By the time I was in High school I wanted to do everything.

 Music, books, video games, movies. I wanted to create something bigger than I was, and I knew that the only way I could go anywhere was to really focus on myself as an artist, as I wanted to be able to show my vision to others, so that they could add to it and watch it evolve. That's when I decided that I wanted to study Illustration and 3D modeling and Design. I started working with my brothers and my sister because we fuel each others creative energies extremely well, and we continue to work for our respective companies, as well as continuing to develop our projects together.
