C. Matthew Hamby Artwork & Illustration

Person holding a framed artwork of a patriotic skeleton wearing red, white, and blue attire, featuring a Grateful Dead logo, and an electric guitar against a red and blue background, in an outdoor setting with greenery.

I am a figurative illustrator at heart. My work is largely based on my unique perspective on the world. I see beauty in what people generally view as gnarly. My focus is on line and color. Using pen and ink, I apply washes of color, allowing the line to be seen through transparency. When I am not drawing the weird of the world, I also do commissions for editorial work, logos, animal/human portraits, invitations, and more. Original artwork makes the perfect gift.
