A picture is worth...what? A lot.

Stephen Cooney has been painting for as long as he can remember. After years of growing up listening to rock music and admiring album covers of bands like Iron Maiden he decided this was the field he wanted to do. After leaving school he went on to study art at Exeter art Academy where he found art there to be unimaginative. This would result in him falling out with his art teacher about the different styles of painting. He then went on to illustrating, which he did for a few years until he then became interested in tattooing. Stephen had a huge success in tattooing and continued to do so for many years until he decided to give illustrating another go as this was his main passion in life. He then spent 3 years of non-stop painting to build up enough artwork to make a portfolio as he really wanted show people his creative ideas, designs and techniques. When Stephen was happy enough with his portfolio he started showing other people his work and sent out samples of his artwork to publishers, the rest is history. Stephen has created over 100 book and magazine covers, he has gone from strength to strength. His main aim is still to do an album cover for a heavy metal band as this has always been his childhood dream.
Stephen is known for his art in the science fiction, fantasy and horror genres, especially known for his zombie paintings. He has designed book and magazine covers for many different publishers and authors from all over the world and is regularly seen at many art and book conventions. 
When he is not glued to his easel painting, or driving his wife crazy with all the paints everywhere, he is playing his guitar. Stephen also likes to unwind by playing on the playstation. 
He lives in Wellington somerset with his wife Amanda and two lovely children Hayley and Steven JNR.
