A digital illustration showcasing the view of the road as from the passenger side seat. It is dark, storming, with two highway signs being seen in the distance, displaying in orange text "Keep eyes on the road" and "Severe anomaly avoid travel until morning". Behind the signs, though obscured in fog, is a city and hills. In the sky, standing behind the hills, are two giant humanoid figures, looking back at the viewer. In the driver's rear view mirror, there is a skull, and when paired with the ghostly hands on the steering wheel, the driver is implied to be undead/anomalous as well.

"Lookout Basin National Park Visitor's Guide Fall 2023, Cover Page" - the cover illustration to the fictional world building exercise, Lookout Basin, in which I imagine what California's first paranormal National Park would look like. The story of the park is told fully "in-character" as lost media.

A digital illustration where a figure shields their eyes from the sun and weather as they look up to read a highway sign that says "Find yourself, next exit". Below the sign is a panel that showcases the figure's belongings - a sketchbook, water bottle, compass, machete, and canine jaw bone. Behind the figure is a panel showcasing an abstract forest, and behind the entire image is a snowy muted sky. The figure is masculine, wearing a jumpsuit and gloves.

A digital illustration where a headless humanoid figure clutches a dog head where the figure's head should normally be. The dog head is looking at the viewer, with its mouth open and pupils narrowed, a tense expression on its face. Behind the figure is a black background with a yellow sun behind the dog's head and radiating out yellow and red sunbeams. Surrounding the dog is a poem.

You can call me Matthew! I'm a jack of all trades storyteller with an emphasis in digital illustration. The pursuit of truth - both in the fantastical limits of our own world, but also in that metaphor helping us find the hidden truths about ourselves - is what motivates my practice as a whole. Whether it be through providing representation, inspiration, or simply entertainment, I find the most happiness when the stories I tell inspire other people to experience the joys of storytelling too.
