Wanna commission me? FOR A DRAWING?!? A PRIMAL picture? A Mickey Masterpiece? I do ‘em! Contact me via DM and we’ll figure out the hows and wherefores. I’m quicker on the digital requests than paper requests, but, whatever!

Old Mickey drawing, freshly spruced up and painted.

Stephen DeStefano @stephendestefano.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Yeah, I drew all that, and I can draw way more. Like everyone else, I’m looking for a steady gig. Keep me in mind, won’t you?

Don’t get too enthused. It ain’t mine and it’s Ai. This one and only time, I’ll allow it.

Probably I won’t see the movie, but here’s an older drawing I did of Kara Zor-El. I freshened it up a bit though.

One of my mentees asked if we could discuss the work of an artist that inspires them, and I was like, “yeah, show me their work”, so he sends me this long tiny file of stuff from my old blogs. What a nut! I had to inform them that much of this was no longer good, but they still like it.

I’m just joking, I don’t really smell.

I liked the Carousel ice cream truck, I didn’t like Mr. Softee truck, and I was vocal about my preferences.

‘Mazing Man was a distant cousin to Sugar & Spike for sure.

For young cartoonists: you gotta thumbnail first. You can only get somewhere if you know where you’re going first.
