Don Stewart

Every one of Don Stewart’s intriguing composite images is drawn entirely by hand, using an ordinary ballpoint pen.

After earning degrees in Biology, Art and Medicine, and an internship at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Don Stewart discharged himself from the hospital just in time to avoid a lucrative surgical career. For the last three decades he has turned from drawing blood to drawing pictures, creating a signature style of visual humor from the tip of an ordinary ballpoint pen. The good doctor now spends his time suturing words and pictures together at DS Art Studio, where he limits his practice to disorders of the funny bone.
