Overview

I’m an illustrator with a background in fantasy art. I’ve spent years in the video game industry, and have created art for everything from AAA video games, to trading cards, to magazine covers, film key art and book covers. I do a lot of concept art, so I'm great at helping a writer realize the look of their character.I work digitally, and think it is a great medium for quick iteration. For me, its the easiest way to make changes and let the authors ideas become fully realized. I also work much quicker digitally, which makes my turn around time fairly fast. I love creating cover art and trying to express the mood of a piece of writing.

I create a lot of production art. Often time its designed to pitch to investors before a game is developed. Other times, its used as key art for advertising. I love the idea of helping someone realize they're ideas in one story filled image!

It was a professional pleasure to work with Matt for the design on my book's cover. I am so very very happy with the end result. As I begin work on my second novel, I will be sure to reach out to Matt again for that book's cover design. This has been a great experience. Nick Clifford

I've worked with Matt before, and would do so again! He's a fantastic artist and gets genuinely excited about coming up with ideas based on your guidelines. He often has ideas that are far better than I would ever have thought of. Thank you, Matt!

Matt was a pleasure to work with. He has an honest enthusiasm for his work, and a kind manner. Not only was he patient with me when I requested tweaks and presented my wealth of questions, but he labored to provide me with the cover I desired.
