Evert Anton Steen is a young multidisciplinary creator from Tønsberg, Norway, who fuses digital design, printmaking and performance energy into a fresh visual voice. Born in the coastal city south of Oslo, he launched an independent clothing brand while still in his teens, translating hand drawn graphics onto limited apparel drops that quickly sold out online. That early entrepreneurial push revealed a knack for branding and storytelling, skills he later channelled into screen printed posters, stickers and zines that circulate across Europe.

Steen’s imagery pairs playful characters with subtle social commentary: cartoonish figures ride whales through cityscapes, or lounge inside floating bubbles that mirror smartphone screens. He builds these scenes through bold vector shapes, candy colour gradients and thick outlines reminiscent of skateboard decks and manga panels. Each composition starts as a loose sketch in Procreate, moves to Adobe Illustrator for crisp refinement, then hits a local print studio where he pulls small editions on recycled paper, often adding hand painted details or metallic ink so no two sheets are identical.

Beyond the studio Steen works as a professional stuntman, a job that feeds his art with motion, risk and behind the scenes camaraderie on Norwegian film sets. The physical discipline shows up in dynamic perspectives and freeze frame poses that suggest mid leap suspension. Recent exhibitions at Too Many Prints showcase works like “Langtidsparkering,” where abandoned cars sprout gardens, and “Gulefinkene,” a glowing yellow finch perched on a traffic cone, both prints selling out within days. Through every poster, tee or mural, Evert A. Steen invites viewers to find humour and hope tucked inside everyday urban chaos.
