About Me

Hi there! I'm Gregory Stewart, a graphic designer living in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. Life brought me here about 10 years ago, when I left home in Arkansas to pursue my career in the digital arts.

Art has been a passion of mine ever since I was a child. Back then I didn't draw on the computer...that came later. I loved drawing, mostly cartoon characters; Ninja Turtles, Garfield, Darkwing Duck, and Roger Rabbit. I became aware of my talent in junior high school, after winning a number of contests. I had aspirations of becoming a Disney animator, but then the computer entered my life.

It started with Microsoft Paint, and then, through my dad, I got into 3d graphics. I remember my first rudimentary 3d attempts; sure, they were crude and amateur, but everyone has to start somewhere. And it was then that I discovered what I wanted to do in life!

Upon completion of my 3D Modeling and Animation degree from Cogswell Polytechnical College in Sunnyvale, CA, I got a job producing video production content for Cisco Systems, as well as web, animations, and print design.

Currently I work at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a particle physics laboratory operated by Stanford University for the US Department of Energy. As a scientific graphics and visualizations developer, I produce 3d animations, as well as various print and web designs.

In my free time I enjoy traveling, photography, cooking...and creating Star Trek art. I am a featured artist in the Simon & Schuster published Star Trek: Ships of the Line 2010 Calendar. Also, this past year, I placed 3rd in a Star Trek t-shirt design contest, coinciding with the release of the latest Star Trek movie.
