Stephen Taylor's early love of Comic illustrations and music influenced his gritty artistic style. In Dallas, he learned how to create foam sculptures, which led to him owning and operating his own commercial art studio.

Prior to his arrival in Wichita Falls, he used his creativity and ambition to renovate and reopen the Plaza Theatre in Vernon Texas. In 2015, a chance meeting with the owners of the Maer Heydrick #2 building provided the opportunity for him to conceptualize, design and construct 9th Street Studios in Downtown Wichita Falls.

Stephen is the owner of sTd Studios.
