About
Steven Russell Black is a contemporary artist specializing in surrealism, known for his beautifully creepy depictions of severed heads, skeletons, and twisted forms that champion the odd and unappreciated. Raised in rural Ohio, he developed a strong work ethic and craftsmanship from a young age, influenced by Stephen King novels and a fascination with dark beauty. He maintains a rigorous daily schedule, painting from 6-8am, handling design work 9am-5pm, and drawing evenings, while batching tasks and taking Sundays off.[1][3][5]
