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.)
