Steele Harrison Knudson (b. 1972) is an American creator, writer, and visionary known for blending science, history, and storytelling into imaginative worlds that educate and inspire. As the founder of L7 Publishing and the mind behind the expansive Super Elements universe, Knudson has devoted his creative career to personifying the periodic table—transforming each chemical element into a vibrant character with a unique history, personality, and visual style.

Knudson’s Super Elements project reimagines chemistry as a living, breathing saga: a fusion of anime-inspired artistry, historical allegory, and scientific accuracy. Chlorine, his central heroine, embodies the dual nature of science—capable of healing and protecting, yet shadowed by moments of destructive misuse. Through Chlorine and her elemental companions, Knudson explores themes of discovery, innovation, and humanity’s evolving relationship with science.

In addition to his creative endeavors, Knudson has pursued entrepreneurial projects that merge technology and ethics, including Gramela, an age-assurance system designed to partner with ISPs and governments to improve digital safety. His ventures reflect a commitment not only to artistic expression but also to shaping responsible innovation.

Knudson’s wide-ranging interests—from historical reenvisioning and classical art styles to musical mashups and theatrical storytelling—underscore his belief in the power of narrative to bridge science, culture, and imagination. Whether painting Jesus in the Temple in Renaissance style or writing chlorine’s first-person account of the fight against cholera, his works weave together accuracy, creativity, and emotional depth.

Today, Steele Knudson continues to expand the Super Elements brand into manga, animation, and educational platforms, aspiring to bring chemistry’s hidden drama to a global audience.
