Matt Taylor (Brighton, England )
“Sometimes I take pictures with one of my cameras, sometimes I write words to accompany these pictures, but mainly I make pictures with inks and pencils, and occasionally tracing paper, found images, computers, paint and marker pens.”
“I like to create fragile and delicate work that shows paper cutting at it's best and I like to focus on material as the tactile quality of paper invites people to touch, which to me, makes my designs more accessible.”

“We decided that painting their portraits was the best way to rebuild our shattered bridges.”

“I first started designing on a computer when I took a commercial design class at my high school in 2002. I instantly fell in love with Photoshop and Illustrator and have been working with both nonstop since.”

“I really wanted to study art at high school, but dropped it due to the dictatorial arts teachers we had. All I wanted to do was draw and paint, and they would force us to use pipe cleaners and egg cartons to make crap.”
“As far as I’m concerned, graffiti art is about making the city more colourful.”
