Arena Illustration 2025 Showcase

Proud to be among a stellar cast of top notch illustrators on my agent Arena's 2025 Showcase!

“From sci-fi to science we couldn’t help but chuckle our way through the Poo Crew Adventures, expertly illustrated by comic genius and talented animator Steve May. Featuring panel illustrations throughout, this hilarious dive into the world of poo brilliantly showcases Steve’s exceptional talent for visual storytelling, perfectly tailored to the project’s target audience. His work is endlessly engaging and full of fun, we can’t wait to see what comes next.”

Keir Starmer's Meat Waistcoat

 Keir Starmer's waistcoat was completely made of meat.

And every time he ventured out, dogs chased him down the street.

He tried to run, he tried to hide but poor Keir was mistaken.

There's no escaping hungry hounds whilst wearing that much bacon.

(Poem by my friend Dylan Cole)

Get Yer Big Boy Pants On!

Some celebratory spring time motivational postcards - because I love you all!*

(& it's rather therapeutic, work is extremely scarce at the moment at the moment so I just keep going!)

 

The Bathtub Of The Devil

Even Beelzebub himself likes a good soak!

World Book Day 2025 at Dallington School

Had a lovely day talking about books, drawing, reading with the kids from Dallington Primary School in Clerkenwell for World Book Day this year! I kicked things off with a whole-school assembly, sharing insights into the world of illustration while the kids challenged me to draw various animals & foodstuffs including a cat eating fishfingers & a capybara eating chocolate (never drawn one before, I was fairly pleased!)

I then conducted draw-alongs with all the classes who drew some great pics from our graphic novel Journey to Pootopia (one pupil also drew a rather brilliant portrait of me too!)

I always love the energy from primary school visits, if you'd like me to come & visit your school please get in touch info@stevemay.biz
