Steve Wasterval
THE CREATIVE
Always a rebel (though don't box him in), 'lil Stevie spent the majority of his school years making art out of text books, much to the chagrin of his teachers. Only years later would he find out that those drawings that sent him to the principals office? They were also being passed around the teachers lounge with awe and amusement. His first published work was an editorial cartoon published in the Houston Chroncile in 1993, foreshadowing a life long pursuit of exposure of his work to a larger audience. After years of living the artist life, selling paintings on the streets in Amsterdam and SoHo, a new outlet attracted Steve's interest. Ad school and one too many big agency-experiences later, he moved to the Ad-capital of the world to sell ART and co-found Worstofall Design.
