Matthew Hollings is a Manchester-based illustrator known for excellent portraiture and lifestyle imagery. He was introduced to the idea of becoming an illustrator by his friend’s Dad, who was a cartoonist. Matthew used to relish visiting his studio, looking at the racks of marker pens, watercolours, paintbrushes and sifting through old AOI contact books.
Today, he’s inspired by a range of subjects, from politics to physics and even holds a secondary degree in Engineering. An avid listener and collector of music, Matthew regularly watches bands perform live. He enjoys most sporting activities including football and the occasional frame of snooker.
