Artist & Illustrator

My name is Mat, I'm a freelance illustrator based in London. I specialise in making high quality, hand drawn artwork for all manner of things.

I've worked on a wide variety of projects for print and moving image and also within 2D animation as a background artist. I’ve previously worked as a Visiting Lecturer at Central Saint Martins and alongside commissions I make time to work on my own practice of drawing and printmaking.

If you'd like to talk about a commission or have any other enquiries, then please do get in touch. Thanks!
