Stephen Marrello is a Toronto-based illustrator, designer, and educator whose practice explores the space between digital and analogue image-making, transforming screen-based imagery into tactile printed experiences. A graduate of OCAD University with an Honours BDes with Distinction in Illustration and a minor in On-Screen Media, Stephen brings a playful and experimental approach to his work.

From fine art painting and digital illustration to screen-printed apparel and poster design, his practice is driven by curiosity and a love of making things by hand. His work often draws inspiration from nature, pop culture, visual innuendo, and the wonderfully strange details of everyday life.
