Steve Anthony | Artist
Steve Antony grew up in Mexico and often talks at schools about his experience of living in the desert and regularly visiting his local Public Library for inspiration. After taking redundancy from a Swindon call-centre in 2010, Steve pursued his long-held dream of becoming an author and illustrator.
Over the past ten years Steve Antony has written and illustrated 22 picture books, which have been translated in over 23 languages, including the award-winning and bestselling The Queen’s Hat and the Mr Panda series, which has sold over 1.4 million copies worldwide. Steve has also illustrated five picture books including the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang picture book, written by Peter Bently.
From cake raffles to art auctions, with every book launch Steve holds a fundraiser. Over the years he has raised thousands for various charities. Through his work as an Author and Illustrator he has supported the National Literacy Trust, Coram Beanstalk, My AFK, PAMIS, Three Peas, DEC Ukraine Appeal, The Willow Foundation, Read For Good and CLPE. His Queen’s Hat inspired Shaun the Sheep statue sold at auction for £15,000 in aid of Wallace and Gromit’s Children’s Charity in 2015.
