Stephen Davis Illustrator Dies

What a bummer. Steve was a great guy and no one does what he did better.
If you worked in this industry long, you probably worked with Steve once or twice.

He will be missed.

I sure wish I could have spent some time with him. That's a tough Trade to learn.
I'm certainly never going to be good at it.
Awsome talented guy.

Chances are most of us have enjoyed his work for years.

Stephen earned a Bachelor's in Architecture from the University of Idaho and after a successful career, turned his focus to his true love: boats. Regularly featured in numerous magazines including Sail, Popular Mechanics, Power and Motor Yacht, along with illustrating books; his work was not limited to marine design, but also included horse trailers and planes.
As an architect trying to switch gears and do it all (including Industrial Design), I look to guys like this for inspiration.

This looks to be his website, has several samples.
