Matte Stephens Vintage Revisited
October 7, 2010
A lover of old English films like The Ladykillers and Kind Hearts and Coronets,
Portland based Matte Stephens has never had a regular day job in his life !
Fresh from high school, Matte launched himself into a career of painting and
trying to get his work exhibited in local galleries and later online, being one of the
early contributors to Ebay.
Now with more than 16 years as a commercial artist behind him, his retro-styled work
sells internationally and through a number of online galleries and his blog.
You can find that you slowly fall in love with his humorous, yet slightly crazy style.
Great colours too.
There’s a great interview with the young man on Inspired Outsiders site here.

Does he just stick 2 that one palette? I will have 2 look…….x
usually yes, I guess that’s part of his retro look.
