My name is Matt Taylor, I'm an illustrator and I live by the sea. I like drawing pictures for money, riding my bike, walking on the beach, appreciating comic books and rummaging through thrift stores for old photos. This blog is for works in progress, assorted drawings that don't have a home yet and things which don't quite fit in my folio. Speaking of which, you can see my full blown folio by directing your website towards www.matttaylor.co.uk
a couple of years ago i did this portrait of Hemingway, which seemed to be quite tumblr popular. i meant to revisit it at some point and do some other counter-culture and beat icons but never quite got around to it.
fast forward to this afternoon and I find myself with a few hours to kill waiting on client feedback and so do this. i think it turned out nice, and i would be even happier if i had remembered to save the file before i closed it. it’s a good job i took a decent hi-res screen shot before i did otherwise i would be fuming right now.
i have a list of more of these i might do, expect it to be about two more years til i get around to it…
If you would like this hanging on your wall, why not mosey on over to my web shop…
Retro illustration!
