From that point on he knew what he wanted to do for the rest of
his life... architecture.
The magnitude of this epic fail of a decision cannot be put into
words. Let's just say that Matt lost 2 years of his life and a
ton of money to college courses he would never use again.
Through dedication, diligence and desperation Matt changed his
major to Visual Communications (to you younger people that means
Graphic Design) and graduated having spent only 6 years in
college.
With his quickly earned degree Matt was easily able to land a
job at a window building factory, handling sheets of glass all
day with no gloves. After almost severing his right thumb he
realized he had applied to the wrong department and ultimately
for the wrong job entirely... Thus his design career began.
Graduating from The University of Oklahoma in 1995 with a
Bachelor of Fine Arts, Matt has worked in many different
environments, taking on rolls as designer, illustrator and art
director. He now resides in Norman, Oklahoma with his wonderful
wife and two children.
His true love has always been illustration and story telling,
which he hopes to do both with Hound Comics.
