About Me

- California, United States
- Stephen Silver was born in London, England on August 30th 1972. Aspiring to be a professional artist his whole life and knowing drawing would be his vocation, Silver got his professional start in 1992 drawing caricatures in amusement parks. In 1993 he went on to establish his own illustration company called Silvertoons. By 1997 Silver was hired by Warner Bros. Television Animation as a character designer, and has been working in the animation industry ever since. He has worked as Character Designer and Supervisor for Disney Television Animation, Sony Feature Animation and Nickelodeon Animation, designing characters such as "Kim Possible", "Danny Phantom" and Kevin Smith's "Clerks" the animated series, to name a few. Silver is the author and artist of seven self-published books on the art of sketching, caricature and life drawing. In addition to working freelance full time, he also teaches an online character design course at schoolism.com. Silver names three treasures to success in life that give him what it takes to keep on drawing: passion, desire and determination.

Sign me up dude. This looks incredibly fun and imaginative.
Peace,

That's pretty awesome! Speaking of intellectual property, how do you actually protect an identity that you've created like in your case that skull logo. I have an idea in particular that I'm afraid to publicize since I don't want someone stealing it.
i like ur work a looooooooot
looks fun! good luck at the pitch!
Whoa, looks sweet Stephen!!!!!
I've been cruisin your blog, and website for years now - I'd be interested to hear who picks this up, cos I wanna work for them! :o)
Fabianv,
The best thing you can do is not only copyright it, and that occurs from the moment you create it. but you can officially do it through the www.copyright.gov website and use form VA. Also the best thing to do is publish it. get it out there and let it be seen. That shows a date it was in use. If someone is going to be low enough to steal someone else's idea, they are going to do it. My advise is to take risks and just do it. Let people see what it is your trying to protect, it will let others know that you did it first. And of course you can always just keep it to yourself and pitch it to studios.
hope that helps.
Cool characters Stephen. This would be great stop motion, for a very caricatured sense of motion to compliment the design. Can't wait to see more!
Wow, these are so fun man. Good luck and I hope to see more of these characters in the future. Great concept, I love the pirate hiding in the coat!
Hey Stephen,
very nice characters. And what about Channel Frederator or Screen Novelties International ? I bet they would love these as an animated series. Just an idea. Good luck with the project!
neat, very cool art pieces
Adolfo.
Hey man; nice layouts and assembly of crowds.
looks really cool and best of all 'silly'. Good luck with it.
I was also inspired by you to make a 'film it as you draw it' tutorial. It's pretty much dumber than yours but it's a set in the right direction.
Again, cheers for the inspiration
Wow dude, very cool!!
Amazing designs!! I love your style. I'd like you visit my works!
All the best
Awsome stuff! Hope it works out!
awsome stuff! Hope it works out!
Wow those are really awesome designs Stephen!! I love that full page with all the monsters. See you soon!!
Really impresive designs Stephen. Hope the show turns out really good. My best wishes for your new work
You and Rocco!!! That's going to be quite the team!!! Hope you're well, Stephen!!!
Really love what yo do.
keep pitching it around!!! I think its a clever idea
Awesome character designs, I love your work. Mike Manley is actually my figure drawing teacher, and he brought in a copy of your book LIFE, and we used it as a basis for really pushing our figures today. Thanks for being an inspiration, Im planning on signing up for your class as soon as I save up the money.
amazing work as always!
FUN STUFF! :)
( numerous 'wows' overlapping each other with a slowly rising crescendo and then the tapering off of said crescendo more gradual still. a couple of 'gee whizzes' and 'holy friks' escaping the joyous din of the more audible and chorus like 'wows' towards the end/sharp exhales also overlapped and crescendoed } :)
Great work man!
