My influences range from all aspects of design whether that be ceramics, photography,
animation, illustration etc. as well as found from my surroundings - I have a Sensory Processing Disorder, I get distracted when out, this is where I find small details and subtle flecks that help influence n’ form the foundations of all my work.

In my free time I am more often than not - in the kitchen making scran, sipping on iced coffee or thinking about how AI has more job opportunities than I do (n’ it doesn’t even have a student loan to repay). Also frequently mucking about in Blender, travelling or playing video games with my partner.

Haló there! I am Matt Johns (he/him) a freelance illustrator n’ designer from the west coast of Scotland. However, now based in Edinburgh. I dropped out of Art School in 2022 with a BFA in Illustration to pursue job opportunities n’ gain experience within the creative industry. My work is a dance between analog + digital means of making and manipulation, communicating through simple shape language, composition n’ meta-narratives to craft playful characters that remind you of how eating warm soup feels.
