Mahardhika, Stevie: - Stevie Mahardhika was born in Indonesia not knowing he would be an artist. Until one day his very own distraction monster appeared nudging him to draw whenever he could. Especially during school and homework time, the time it visited him most. Later on, he flew to study Graphic Design in New Zealand where he now resides. And it seems like his monster also hitchhiked with him, hidden in his bag deep inside his pencil case. While originally he got into drawing from consuming mangas and video games, in the end, he found love in reading picture books and children's literature. He has illustrated children's books for many years and enjoys bringing to life fun animal characters doing silly stuff. Lately, some monsters can also be spotted making mischief in his sketchbooks.
