I'm Jim Steele, an illustrator and artist working primarily with hand-drawn ink and watercolour.

My work combines landscape, mythology, fantasy and storytelling. I've spent more than 20 years developing a process built around expressive pen work and layered watercolour.

Alongside my own artwork, I teach
small-group workshops where I take people through that process — from the first mark on the page to a finished illustration.

My early art & design career was born in the inspiring landscapes of North Wales & Snowdonia. Inspired by Alan Lee, Moebius, Chris Riddell, Frank Miller,  Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, my ideas have elements of ancient mythology, science fiction, and natural forces. On every sheet, I want to tell a story.
