Leaf by Stephen Michael King6/19/2023 ![]() Inbetween creative moments, I love to build wiggly stone walls, walk on the beach, nap on the couch and enjoy the company of family and friends. Everyday is spent meandering between house and studio, painting pictures, writing stories and designing books. ![]() I share my life with my wife, two children and our three rescue dogs. My studio sits on a windy hill surrounded by bush and pasture land, and I like nothing better than walking barefoot to and from work each day. One day soon I’d love to visit all the countries where my books are published, but for now I happily live on the east coast of Australia, on an island, in a mud brick house. ![]() When I became an adult not much changed and my childish ways and curious meanderings led me to work for Walt Disney, design puppets for TV, have touring theatre companies create shows based on my stories, and in just over twenty years has led me to create more than eighty illustrated books. I knew deep within myself there was nothing else for me to be. I loved to draw and make things: scissors, sticky tape, glue, paper and pens were my preferred tools of communication and story books were my window into language. It made school a little difficult, but hearing loss opened my eyes to observing the world. I grew up like most children, apart from the fact that I had hearing loss. ![]()
