I am ashamed to say this is the first time I have heard of the artist, however, the work is fresh and original so I am sure I will recognise it in the future.

so glad to see that matte is getting some internet love. i've loved his prints since registering for some for my baby's room!

ohh, i like these. i'm saturated in the 'mad men' series right now, so this work is very appealing to me!

Matte Stephens is one of my favorite illustrators. I have one of his prints hanging in my home. So talented!
