Bio: Born in south central Pennsylvania, Matthew grew up in the small town of Hanover, adjacent to Gettysburg. At the quintessential age of 18, he moved up and out, north and east, to New York City and enrolled in classes at Pratt Institute. It was there that he received his BFA in illustration, as well as a vast array of student loans. After interning for a small time at the Society of Illustrators, he realized that even the most famous artists he met were completely down to earth, and he thought that maybe he too could be a part of this wonderful group of people. He was right. Matthew’s work can be seen in countless publications around the world, all done from his cozy studio is Brooklyn, New York, where he currently resides with his love, Katie, and their cats, Rocket and Bean.
