Steve Johnson is an illustrator based out of San Francisco. "One of my objectives as an artist is to bridge conflicting views by revealing shared concerns and common ground.

Using a cast of chickadees, rats, and hummingbirds, my current work navigates the gray areas and middle grounds inhabited by animals with competing interests."
