Tell us a bit more about you
After graduating with a BA in fashion design, I started my career in the fashion industry in design and development, illustrating in my spare time. After taking a break with year spent traveling the world, I’m now concentrating solely on illustration.
My style is predominantly vector and photography based using a combination of hand drawings, adobe illustrator & adobe photoshop. Previous clients include Puma, AMVBBDO, Tommy Hilfiger Denim, Neet & Minnette Shoes, Bright Multimedia and more recently Alexander McQueen Puma.
How to keep your creativity works?
If you mean how do I keep creative? Hard not too in London with so much inspiration around, galleries, museums, exhibitions, the internet is good but by no means the best. I try to have a sketchbook with me whenever I am out. I am quite into vintage dress-making pattern illustrations at the moment.
Favorite media?
Tend to use a combination or media, I have drawings and sketches all over my studio, I create a lot of vector art in Illustrator and love to colour and add texture in photoshop.
How to reach you?
All my contact details are on the site but my email is info@mattrichardsillustration.com
Your future plan?
Beginning of 2011, I am planning to get heavy on the marketing as apart from the website its something I rarely get time to do. I am also working on illustrating children’s book as a long term project so we will see where that ends up.
