Matt Sewell

PROFILE

Artist, illustrator, graffiti artist and young ornothologist Matt Sewell hales from the icy glades of County Durham in the east of England...Cruelly torn away from his woodland foster-parents by a band of cruel, funny tallking city types and forced to move south to work in the treacherous world of freelance illustration. Making his trade in the world of t shirts, editorial design, advertising, flyers, paintings and prints, Matt's characters and friendly approach to design has got him noticed amongst the city dwellars and gaining clients far and wide.

But how Matt harks for the wondering woodland and the rolling hills of his natural habitat... A subject often explored in Matt's larger street/graffiti based works, interior live painting, canvases and exhibitions. Showing solo or with groups such as Scrawl Collective and Goback2d Matt continually brings his own merry band of lonely girls, birds, cloud pandas, woodland creatures and dreamy landscapes to galleries, boutiques and hidden back-streets across the world.
