About Me

Known for his recent work at Black Flys. Stephen Moreno's unique style has taken several years to perfect.

His artistic vision is derived from his illustration background. Utilizing his fixation on religious cultural icons mixed with modern lifestyle, he has opened us to a new understanding of the concept where light meets dark.

Born and raised on the beaches of Texas, he has made southern California his home for the last 13 years. His roots are deeply sown into the history of the surf, skate, and apparel industry. Working at several companies as both an in-house, and freelance artist, each with it's own style has kept him flexible and diverse enough to mimic as well as create several styles quickly, while keeping his own influence in the work...

Companies Such as, Yaga, 26 Red, Sugar, O'Neill, Billabong, Redsand, Rusty, Spyderbilt, Pokemon, NC Clothing, Counter Culture, and Black Flys.
As an artist, his influences include, Salvador Dali,& Georgia O'keiffe, as well as modern artists, Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, & Ashley Wood.
Recent showing of his work has included "4 Generaciones Art Show", ICBC;, Rosarito, Mex, "One Evening Showing" at Club Sutra;, Costa Mesa, Ca, "Mi Lucha Vida" at the Santoras Bldg;, Santa Ana, Ca., CEMAC, (Centro Municipal de Arte y Cultura), "La Muerte Anda Catrina" show Rosarito, Mex.
