Bio

My name is Big Animal and I started a T-Shirt company named Big Animal Gear.  I’d love for you to tell your friends.

I started my career in Montgomery, Alabama.  As time passed, I had the privilege to meet my idols.  Dorian Clevenger was the first idol I met and he taught me infinity.  The second idol I met was Danny Cowan, who taught me perspective.  I never met Frank Facetal, who drew my favorite comic book Conan the Barbarian.  I always felt I was Conan.

The biggest artist I worked with was Stan Lee, not as an artist but as a bodyguard. His assistant Sam Franco made it happen. Sam Franco was Slash’s road manager when I was his bodyguard.  So, there you have it.  I hope you love my artwork. Now I must fly close to the sun, for me there is no 9-1-1.

My name is Harvey Stephenson, also known as Wild Man, who’s a semi-retired bodyguard for the rich and famous.

I started my career in San Bernardino, California with the legendary DJ Mike C and his boys The City MC’s.

From there, I worked with the legendary rapper Eazy E and NWA, Above the Law, Bone Thugs N’ Harmony, Bizzy Bone, Slash (from Guns N’ Roses), David Lee Roth and Van Halen, just to name a few…
I discovered my wife was having mental problems from one of her medications, so I had to take three months off.

Three months turned into twelve years when I stopped working with the David Lee Roth camp.  All my friends in the industry wondered what happened to me.  Now you know, I had to choose love over fame and fortune.  I miss my buddy Dave.  Now, I would like to share my God-given gift with you.  I am a cartoon animator and T-shirt designer, that also does security work.

The name is Big Animal, don’t you forget it…
