As Senior Artist with Rockstar Games from 2001 to 2016 Stephen Bliss helped establish the highly recognizable illustrative style that defined the look, feel and positioning of the gaming mega-franchise Grand Theft Auto. Today Stephen has shifted gears and armed with a camera and an eye for the undiscovered, he shows that art, even unintended, is all around us. Pioneering British artist Stephen Bliss worked as Senior Artist for Rockstar Games from 2001 to 2016 where he helped establish the illustrative styles for the video game phenomenon Grand Theft Auto. In a career that spans 3 decades, 2016 saw him return to his roots as a fine artist. His work has been exhibited in many international galleries, and his commissioned murals in the Wynwood district of Miami for Art Basel won him recent acclaim. 2017 will see him painting a large mural hanging directly over the Hudson River, working on a collection of artwork for a solo show in London, designs for his clothing label Bliss, a campaign for a new Coca Cola product, characters for VR and AR, and a poster for legendary band The Pixies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
