A California Artist by Stephen Del Rose

Hey there, I'm Stephen Del Rose, a California artist, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the Listen California Newsletter. Here, I'll be sharing my creative artwork and the stories that inspired them. You'll find a mix of fiction and non-fiction tales, each paired with my designs, either in the same post or a bit later on. Let me take you back to my early days as an artist. Picture this: a young me, always with two well-loved sketchbooks in tow, sketching away to capture my unique view of the world. Those sketchbooks were my escape, my way of translating imagination into reality. Sure, I lost a few along the way, but I like to think they found new homes and maybe even inspired someone else. Over time, I evolved from those sketchbooks to mastering digital tools. Now, I scan my artwork, refine it with vector programs, and bring it to life on apparel or canvas. It's been quite the journey, and I'm excited to share it with you. So, stay tuned for more stories and art that I hope will inspire you just as much as they have inspired me.
