Matthew Cook

WAR








"One of the many fine illustrators to emerge from Kingston School of Art (now Kingston University) Matthew Cook has established himself with his very signature style as one of the busiest illustrators of his generation."
"Excelling in reportage work, he is never more at home than when out in the field with sketch book and camera. Directly after graduating, Matthew was given the opportunity to join the Raleigh Expedition, an organisation that provides young people with the chance to extend themselves in the demanding environment of a full-rigged sailing ship in exotic waters. Spending a whole year sailing in the South Seas gave Matthew a chance, as an instructor, to hone his skills and to return a year later hungry for a chance to establish himself as an illustrator."

"Now Matthew is busier than ever, at a time when the received wisdom is that photography holds sway and that illustration is meant to be a dying art."
