About us

Jody Steel became a viral sensation overnight and it all started with a pen and a leg. Practically speaking, creating hyper realistic drawings on her legs during college courses may seem counterproductive—but when those thigh drawings ended up on the front page of The Boston Globe and on the Steve Harvey Talk Show, people began to take notice. Soon enough, Steel’s legs were on CNN, The Huffington Post,  USA Today, The Guardian, among various other publications all around the world. A year later, the body artwork is still trending, receiving a full-page spread in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

Steel’s work overall has received millions of views on her personal website and social media pages. And to think it started with a paper shortage. Steel studied Visual Media Arts Film Production at Emerson College, where creating meaningful and marketable media became her focus. Only just beginning her freshman year in Boston, Steel was commissioned by one of her professor’s to illustrate their novel Steaming Into A Victorian Future: A Steampunk Anthology.

During her final semester in Los Angeles, she wrote and directed a short film called Daddy that was officially selected to be apart of the Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood. After the attacks in Paris and Beirut, Steel created a timelapse drawing called "Peace", featuring a picture of a dove on flying on top of a collage of flags from various countries around the world. Within 48 hours, the video received 70 million views. Steel continues to make drawing videos and hopes to create more meaningful content along the way.
