Matt Taylor Illustration

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

    Yup, it’s another post about those book covers. Sorry. I’ll try and keep it brief. Don’t get me wrong, I have loved doing them but its been a shame that I have yet to see any of them on the shelves (being of course, American editions, and me all the way over in the UK and not having visited the States for a fair old while). Luckily friends have snapped pictures but it’s not quite the same. You can probably guess where this is going then - the lovely lovely folks at Penguin UK have decided that they should be used in the UK as well. Which means that sometime this spring (i think April, but don’t quote me on that), I will be able to go into my local Waterstones and see them on the shelves. Which I am over the moon about. Expect exciteable tweets and tumbls when this happens.

    The last in a series of seven book covers that I have done for Penguin US for their new editions of classic John Le Carre (as well as the newest novel Our Kind Of Traitor in paperback). It’s been an awesome job to do - and this might be my favorite of the lot of them.

    Here’s a little something in my ongoing (but almost finished now) work for Penguin, covering seven titles by John Le Carre. I was lucky enough to have the George Smiley vs Karla novels as part of the package that I’m illustrating and this is for the second book in the series The Honourable Schoolboy More to come over the next few weeks… Art Direction by Paul Buckley Type Design by Paul Buckley and Gregg Kulick
