Cameron Stewart
Professional Artist in Toronto, Canada
Born in Toronto, Canada in 1975, comic book artist Cameron Stewart spent parts of his childhood in Canada and Torquay, England, and today holds dual citizenship in both countries.
Cameron began his career as a storyboard artist under his mentor and director Darwyn Cooke on the Sony/Dreamworks Animation series Men In Black. In 1999, following a portfolio review session at San Diego Comic Con, he began his career drawing an issue of DC Comics’ Scooby Doo, which began a long career with the publisher.
Cameron then collaborated with superstar writer Grant Morrison on the acclaimed cult comics series The Invisibles, and co-founded the Royal Academy of Illustration and Design (RAID), a collective of freelance comic book artists, writers and illustrators that exists to this day.
His collaborative efforts continued, first with writer Ed Brubaker on the superhero-noir series Catwoman, then he moved on to a series of collaborations with Morrison on the absurdist superhero fantasy series Seaguy, its sequel, Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye, The Manhattan Guardian, part of the epic Seven Soldiers series,Batman and Robin, Batman Incorporated, and Multiversity: Thunderworld, a fan-favorite re-interpretation of the character Shazam.
Cameron Stewart took time off in 2007 to visit Vietnam as part of his research for The Other Side,a graphic novel he would illustrate next in collaboration with writer Jason Aaron, and which would receive an Eisner Award nomination for Best Limited Series.
He then turned to an original idea, working next on a long-form graphic novel he would introduce as a serialized webcomic.Sin Titulo was a semi-autobiographical noir thriller inspired by the works of David Lynch and Haruki Murakami that would eventually win a 2010 Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic before Stewart completed and published it as a graphic novel in 2014.
The year 2015 brought two major breakthroughs for Cameron. He illustrated the sequel to the acclaimed cult novelFight Club, written by original author Chuck Palahniuk. The book would spend six months at number one on the New York Times’ Graphic Novel bestseller list. He also spearheaded DC Comics’ wildly popular revamp of Batgirl with a character that was reimagined with a pop art format for the young adult market.
Since then, he’s illustrated a third Fight Club book by Chuck Palahniuk, and re-teamed with Brubaker for a short Catwoman story in honor of the character’s 80th anniversary.
