Steve Mottershead

Director/Creative Director/Flame Artist - based in NYC

Originally from a small town outside of Toronto, Canada. I was very passionate about fine arts growing up, painting, drawing, even airbrushing. When I was 16 I had the first real turning point in my life when I was introduced to Autodesk's Flame system. I was blown away by the resolution and little axis' and icons on the screen, schematics etc. From that point on I knew that I wanted to be a Flame Artist. Since then I worked my way up to lead Flame and starting my own company which is called Artjail. I'm currently the Creative Director and Lead Flame Artist at Artjail. I played a pivitol role in the development of Euro RSCG's rebranding of Jaguar Cars and have previously/since put may mark on other large worldwide brands such as; Nike, Cadillac, Audi, Nissan, Coke, Mitsubishi, Honda, Muse Magazine, Kanye West, USTA, NHL, NFL, to name a few. While making my way up the vfx ladder I also started directing. I am currently repped at Soft Citizen in Canada.
