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!

This is the second book cover Matt designed for me. I threw random, disconnected ideas his way, and he pulled together a truly beautiful cover. I want to write more stories so I can have Matt make more book covers for me.

Matt was wonderful to work with. He came in very engaged with the project and previous covers I'd had for my book, and asked great questions throughout our collaboration. He was also very receptive to my feedback at all stages of the process, even making his own suggestions when appropriate. I would highly recommend working with Matt!

Matt was fantastic and had an instinctually creative eye. He also self-edits, meaning that if he thinks he has a better idea than he previously developed he'll go for it and show you options. I hope to do repeat business with Matt.
