Craig Stephens, Nick Cave.

…when it comes to the art of creating Art in Rock ‘n’ Roll’s image. I am in love with Stephens’ image of Nick Cave, complete with skeleton hands, clutching his ever-present ciggy. Stephens teaches art at Chana High in California. How lucky are those kids? Wait. Don’t answer that question yet. Stephens is also a big fan of Zombies. So much so that he has started doing Zombie Portraits of his students. Stephens will even make you a Zombie for a mere $25 bucks. Craig Stephens might be the coolest Art teacher ever.

Craig Stephens, Lou Reed. For Mr. Incredible.

When he’s not teaching Art or turning his students into Zombies, Stephens also manages to crank out a pretty boss comic called Working Stiff. Stephens says that creating a comic was a childhood dream of his.

Although it’s hard to imagine that Stephens has any, in his spare time, he paints a picture a day and posts them on his blog, Daily Painting.
