Matt Dixon is a digital artist based in
Nottingham, UK.
Drawing and painting was Matt's favourite
way to spend his time from a very early age so when, at eight years
old, he received his first computer ( a Commodore VIC-20 ) he quickly
found ways to employ the machine as an artistic tool alongside his
pens and pencils. More advanced technology brought a greater interest
in the computer as a creative vehicle and by 1988, Matt had begun to
produce art for videogames. This led to a long career in the games
industry working as a production artist, concept designer and art lead
during which time he was involved in a number of high profile game and
movie licenses, including Crash Bandicoot, Pirates of the Caribbean,
Spyro the Dragon and Harry Potter.
Now a successful freelancer, Matt
continues his association with the videogames industry providing
concept art for a variety of game studios in addition to providing
illustration for print and digital media. Recent clients include
Electronic Art, Hodder Children's Books, Sony Online Entertainment,
Metal Hammer magazine, Wizards of the Coast and Blizzard
Entertainment.
