About the Artist:

 Portrait of Steven Christian. He is a Black man with short cropped hair and glasses and is grinning at the camera.

Born and raised in Sacramento, CA, Steven Christian grew up playing sports and excelled in football, where he continued playing at the University of Hawaiʻi and Oregon State University. When an injury sidelined him, he explored art, comics, and app development for mobile devices. It became an avenue of self-expression as well as therapy. This path has led him into the augmented reality space where he empowers Black communities to express themselves through creativity, art, and technology. His preferred mediums are comics, podcasts, and animation. He lives by the motto: "Create and Conquer!" which means creating opportunities that overcome stereotypes and conquer adversity. He founded Iltopia Studios to give other Black voices a platform.
