Chicago based artist specializing in illustration, caricatures, comics, & creative signage

Born in 1976, Robert H. Stevenson AKA Simple Heady grew up in Chicago where he started creating art inspired by comics, album covers, graffiti art, skateboard graphics & tattoo art. After high school he moved to New Mexico, where he became a father & worked in a variety of creative fields including tattooing, murals, airbrushing, & sign making. Illustration & creative sign making became his career for over 25 years, working for such companies as Nike, McDonalds, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's & many others, while also pursuing painting, comics, & a variety of creative endeavors. This website contains bits & pieces from that artistic journey over the last 30 years.

"Simple Heady is how I describe my art style. The ideas & motivation behind a lot of the work that is an attempt to show both the extremes & subtleties of inspirations & observations within nature, society, consciousness & dream states. The name also works as a reminder to myself to strive for balance in life & art."
