Hi, I am Matt and I am a Yorkshire based Children’s Book Illustrator.
As far back as I can remember, I have always been drawn in by imagery of dark and compelling worlds – places with twisted trees, mysterious secrets and impossible geometries.
Even as a child, I longed to see all the places that few dared to tread… under the bed where the monsters lurked; in the attic beneath the dust cloths; down in the cellar behind the spider webs.
As a full-fledged grownup, I get to make my own forbidden forests and ghastly graveyards but now with a bit of a cosy nostalgic glow.
I am a lover of the maximalism movement and fully embrace the mantra that more is most definitely more (ask any child in front of a pick-a-mix station and they will definitely agree). From swirling skies to secret artefacts hidden in the details, I want every child who enters my enchanted worlds to find something to delight the eye.
