Matt Taylor is a twenty-nine year old illustrator and designer from Brighton, England.

He lives a stones throw from the sea, and can often be found travelling by bicycle, drawing, photographing things, looking at waves and making marks on paper.

He is influenced by comic books, found photos, wildlife, wild music, National Geographic magazine, Jack Kirby and artists too numerous to mention

He is one of the member of the Paper Fox Press collective, alongside Robin Boyden, Aaron Miller and Ben Mounsey and also runs (and writes for) the design blog OneThing&Another.

He is currently at work on an illustration journal and a comic book about cowboys on the moon that will both see publication later in 2010...
