As a storyboard and 3D artist, illustrator and animator, I like to make things. Drawings mostly. I’ve made many thousands of drawings for ad agencies, production companies, publishers, authors and more in London, Hong Kong and Los Angeles. I also doodle a lot. And make 3D art (digital and ‘old school’), sculptures, animations, jewelry, odd inventions from time to time, I also illustrate children’s books, t-shirts, you name it. Plus I enjoy creating videos, teaching drawing, and showing off!
So a bit of a generalist now, although my specialism was storyboarding and illustration for a long time.
Besides being a storyboard and 3D artist and animator I also like a competitive game of ping pong now and then.
I don’t particularly enjoy riding my bicycle, but I do it up and down a hill anyway most days, just not for long.
In addition to traditional media I’m most comfortable using Photoshop, Procreate, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Callipeg, Blender, ZBrush and Storyboard Pro.

When Steve Worthington asked me to write him a letter of recommendation, it gave me
the opportunity to reflect on my career as TV commercial producer in Los Angeles. For
much of my 25+ year career, I produced national TV spots with director Brent Thomas,
who is most remembered for being the art director of Apple’s “1984” spot and a
commercial film director with a legacy of 30+ years directing national and international
commercial campaigns for many of the top ad agencies in the world.
Steve was an integral part of our crew for many years at Green Dot Films, Brent’s
production company. I retired from production in 2020, and Brent has since passed
away, but his appreciation (and mine) of Steve’s work ethic and incredible talents were
aligned. No one did it better. No one captured Brent’s vision better. No one met
deadlines better. No one came close to Steve’s level of artistry, interpretation, and
translation of thought and ideas to paper. If Steve was not available to illustrate Brent’s
storyboards on a project, let’s just say there was a bit of hell for me to pay finding
someone remotely comparable.
As Steve moved out of Hollywood to pursue his many other talents, Brent gave his
stamp of approval whole-heartedly: “Steve is simply the best storyboard artist I have
ever used. And one of the few who actually is an artist. He’s also very smart, a gifted
draughtsman who brings a lot to the party, a filmmaker who totally gets our business,
and a lot of fun to work with. He’s always my first call. Highly recommended. Regards,
Brent Thomas, Green Dot Films, Santa Monica, CA.”
I couldn’t agree more, and I can’t really say it any better. Steve is a gem to work with
and talented to boot. I don’t think you will find a better candidate.

Ursula Gabel Baird, MA, LMFT
This is a letter of recommendation for Steve Worthington.
Steve and I have worked with each other for over two decades, he became my go to illustrator and storyboard artist. That is a BIG statement for someone like me, who has been a major player and influencer in the big agency world of broadcast creation/production. My clients ranged from global financial giants, to BMW, Heineken, Trojan, P&G, Sanofi, Pfizer the list goes on and on. The reason I share that with you is by way of context for my support and praise of Steve and his work. In other words super high-stakes clients and I always turned to Steve, he never let me down, not once. Steve is the consummate professional. Please give him all the attention he deserves.
Sincerely,
Lee St. James
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Steve Worthington.
My name is Kevin Smith. I am a commercial director creating high-end broadcast
content for many years. I am currently freelance and was a founder of Backyard
Productions in Venice CA as well as several other companies.
I’ve worked with Steve for at least fifteen years … most of my directing career. I’ve
directed hundreds of commercials for television and Steve has storyboarded the vast
majority of them. Steve is by far one of the most knowledgeable and capable creative
partners in his field. His drawing skills are first class and his ability to previsualize makes
him very valuable to any production team.
Whether working in-person or remotely Steve has never disappointed me or any of the
many producers I’ve been associated with.
I’m not sure who’s getting this letter or what the job at hand is, but Steve’s clear
communication and problem-solving skills would make him valuable in any endeavor.
Feel free to contact me with any further questions.
Sincerely,
Kevin Smith
