Apollo Shepherd

Apollo Shepherd is an illustrator, animator, and artist currently based in Huntsville, Alabama. Always fascinated with the otherworldly, this love deepened with his passion and talent for art. His illustrations are primarily digital, though he also expresses his ideas through ink, woodblock printmaking, and painting. His work explores the human desire to connect with one another, particularly through folktales, mythology, and stories. Apollo has a particular connection with the monsters of myth, recognizing the humanity within creatures traditionally regarded as terrifying. This manifests in his work from the most whimsical forest sprites to awe-inspiring depictions of the deadliest beasts to prowl the imagination.

He is currently working on a number of animated projects, but constantly on the lookout for new work. His commissioned work ranges from portraits of beloved pets to full scale illustrations.
