About Me

Hi, I'm Steve .... the illustrator behind Squidoodle.

I've always believed that the world is full of interesting little details. Whether it's a winding seaside street, a favourite local landmark, an intricate pattern in nature, or an animal with far too many steampunk gears, I love turning those details into artwork that makes people stop and smile.

Every illustration starts the same way: with a pen, a pencil, and a blank page. My work is entirely hand drawn, building layer upon layer of tiny lines and details until all the gaps are filled and each piece takes on a life of its own. It's a slow process, but that's exactly how I like it.

I'm based on the Kent coast, where the sea, historic towns and beautiful landscapes provide endless inspiration. Many of my prints celebrate places people love - from bustling high streets to hidden coastal gems capturing the character and memories that make them special.

Over the years I've been lucky enough to supply artwork to shops around Britain, famous clothing brands, museums and even good old Dreamland, and I've seen my illustrations shared by thousands of people around the world. But what I enjoy most is hearing that one of my pieces has found a place in someone's home or made the perfect gift.
