Steve Ross began his professional career as a teenager in San Antonio, Texas, selling pictures of angst-ridden, dark and disturbing surrealist art to his friends and teachers. After high school he soon landed a job drawing pictures of dining room tables for a local furniture company, and was surprised when the owner became upset that he was drawing dark and disturbing surrealist furniture for the company's newspaper ads. They parted company. Steve works as a professional illustrator and resides in New York City.

“In this marvelous work … Steve Ross portrays the life and times of Paul, drawing upon modern metaphors and images that hearken back to their ancient analogs and timeless issues and ideas. … Like all great comics and graphic novelists, Steve generates powerful, visceral, imagery that brings the story to life.”
