Hello! My name's Matt, although most people call me Matty.
I've been working as a 3d modeler and texture artist in the video game industry since 1997. I've been fascinated by art my entire life, and although I was never a true comic book nerd, I grew up reading TMNT (Eastman & Laird) and Groo the Wanderer (Sergio Aragones) religiously.
Though I'm a 3D modeler by profession, I've also been trying to spend more time doing digital paintings. I do not consider myself a concept artist but I'm always inspired by the other amazingly talented artists I've had the opportunity to work with, and I think that working with these awesome people gives me the best opportunity to learn from them.
I appreciate every other artist in this world and other people's talents always motivate me to become a better artist myself.
