Altpick Member Focus :: This Week in Review

In today’s Altpick blog post we are highlighting work from this past week’s Member Focus artists.  We are very excited to showcase a mini sample of  Photographer Bob Stevens and Illustrators John Sledd and Barbara Dekeyser Please visit Altpick.com to see more. Enjoy!


Photographer Bob Stevens grew up at the beach and started surfing at 12, lucky kid.
Spoke a dialect peppered with terms like ‘stoked’, ‘bitchin’ and ‘dude’. Still uses dude a lot. He thought he wanted to be a writer, an ad copywriter no less. Things got in the way, like surfing and beach volleyball. The latter led him to photography classes, long story.
“I jumped into my own business and haven’t looked back”, says Stevens.
