Freelance illustrator and designer Matt Curtis is known creating
original designs for Nirvana, Dead & Company, Wu-Tang Clan, Blue
Moon Brewing Company, and a variety of other clients.
Matt spent his undergrad years at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and
graduated in 2001. He worked doing a variety of different jobs
while starting his illustration career, including making commis-
sioned portraits and even painting storefront mannequins.
His first big illustration job came a couple of years later when he was hired
as the staff illustrator for a now-defunct monthly humor magazine,
Jest.
Matt has been working full time as an illustrator for about fifteen
years. In that time period he has developed his signature scratch-
board style of illustration using just an iPad and an Apple Pencil.
He currently lives in upstate New York with his wife and son, as well as his two
dogs, Frankie and Marsha.
