Steven Walpole’s work is inspired by political and controversial topics. It is of course not always appropriate.
He usually uses ink and pen most of the time usually because by the time he puts so much detail into the work the pieces become dated very quickly. Of course in his works he would add colours if he thinks an art piece will stand the test of time. Starting with a news article of the day he will draw up something witty or nasty that will offend someone or somebody. However that doesn’t mean that being offensive is the key to an art piece. Sometimes it is to lighten a dark situation or humanise an event that is ridiculously stupid.
Steven has contributed his illustrations to such magazines as The Australian (young) Labor party magazine ‘Beacon’ and hopes to work free lance and contribute his illustrations to various forms of print or digital media.
