About Steve

Steve S. Patchin is an author, photographer, and artist originally from Las Vegas, Nevada. He now lives in the mountains of Colorado. Derelict Dreams, an Illustrated Novel was his first novel. His art was the inspiration for the novel, which is why it is also an art book, with more than 80 detailed images created by Steve. His work includes an extensive portfolio of photographic images, realistic composites, and impressionistic paintings. He owned and operated his photography and video business, Patchin Pictures, for 29 years, winning eight Emmys for his work.

Steve has never stopped expanding and refining his art, photography, and writing. His resume of images displays an abundance of styles and subjects that are uniquely appealing: from traditional landscapes and cityscapes to his distinctive “photo paintings” that are more impressionistic, sometimes surreal, or other-worldly. His main focus now is his writing, especially the apocalyptic series, “The Crash.” Steve also designs and creates all the artwork for his book covers.
