Matt Hayton is an illustrator from a small town nestled in a valley on the outskirt of the (beautiful) Lake District in England.
Matt considers himself almost entirely a self-taught artist but did study a foundation art and design course at Kendal college.
Matt draw inspiration stylistically from scientific illustration and golden-age fairytale illustrators such as Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac. He loves folklore and the idea of a narrative or tale been retold, altered and treasured over many generations and that is something inherent in his work.
