STEVEN COMPTON

Is an Illustrator based in NYC

I was born on Staten Island in 1987, which means I grew up with a healthy respect for concrete, sarcasm, and unlikely dreams.
Every day, my dad told me to be "realistic" suggesting I become a cop, a firefighter, or a sanitation worker, ideally retiring by 45 to start a second career. Instead, I chose illustration, exhibits, and visual storytelling, all the things no pension plan could ever touch.

​

Today, I’m an illustrator, exhibit designer, and project manager based in New York. I’ve organized major exhibitions, curated multi-artist projects, and built visual narratives from the ground up. My work combines humor, heart, and a focus on making complex ideas feel human and tangible.

​

If you were looking for a police officer, you’ve made a terrible mistake. But if you’re looking for someone who can bring sharp creative thinking and real-world execution to a project — we should probably talk.


(And if you read this far, I already admire your taste in questionable decision-making.)
