Steve Hayes lives and works in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a Freelance Illustrator and Fine Artist. When he’s not creating characters for advertising campaigns, he’s painting landscapes with watercolors. He translates complex and abstract ideas into powerful and simple images. His loose watercolor style is intricate, yet simplistic, and has a timeless, classic appeal.

His artwork is used in various forms of communication, advertising, publishing, children’s books and related material. Clients include Procter & Gamble, Kenner Toys, and Hasbro Toys. Some of the brands Steve has worked on for Procter & Gamble include; Pampers, Puffs Tissue, Safeguard Soap, and Pert Plus for Kids.

Steve’s philosophy of illustrating is; “Keep it simple, trust yourself and the process, have fun, and exceed the client’s expectations!”
