Hi! I'm Matt James, an illustrator based in Townsville, Australia, with a passion for bringing vibrant yet moody visions to life. Here's a bit about my journey and what makes my work unique.
Games Workshop, Fantasy Flight Games, Gestalt Comics, Red5 Comics and many more.
My illustration style stands out because it's both colourful and moody. This unique combination allows me to create visuals that are eye-catching and evocative, perfect for grabbing the attention of publishers and readers alike. The blend of bright hues and darker tones adds depth and intrigue to every piece.
My journey as an illustrator began in the 1990s with traditional illustration techniques at university. I transitioned to digital illustration in 2013, embracing the new possibilities and tools that digital art offers. This blend of classic training and modern technology informs my unique approach.
I'm most passionate about Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy projects. As a big fan of 1980s franchises and comics, I love bringing these genres to life through my illustrations. If you have a project in these areas, I'm the illustrator for you!
