I met Matthew about a decade ago through work. At the time I had no idea he had a passion and gift for writing. Eventually he did give me some of his work to read and I immediately found myself conjuring creative ideas, images and twisted characters. Like minded spirits, I was able to bounce artistic ideas off of him and he could do the same with me with his writing.

​

    That led to me working on covers for a yet to be released series of novels he is writing. It was during this time he decided to challenge himself to write a short story everyday for a full year and post it online! This only confirmed my suspicions that he was indeed completely unhinged and had descended into madness! The true insanity was that a month later I decided to challenge myself to do the same, create a new art piece everyday and put it out there for the world to see. Both of us completed our challenges successfully, with volumes of creative work the result.

​

    Many ideas were born from that time, not the least of which was the release of Matthews first short story series, "Twisted Roads - An Anthology of Twisted Tales", which I had the privilege of creating the cover art and layout for. We worked together on bringing "The Roundhead" to life, and the artwork I created for the POEMS series now finds itself on these custom Tees.

​

    As you can see below, more books have been published since then, with many more to come in the future and if I am able I will happily create artwork for them all.  Well if you've read this far then you are a reader and I urge you to check out some of these books on Amazon or anywhere good books are sold.
