Matt Hunt spent his childhood in the historical county of Worcestershire, England.
Starting out as a fine artist, he graduated from the Birmingham School of Art, and from these roots developed a love for Children’s illustration. Matt now lives in Redditch, with his wife, and two cats, spending busy days drawing from his humble little home studio. Matt’s clients include Penguin Random House, Nosy Crow, Bloomsbury, Scholastic, Orchard Books, Boxer Books and Harper Collins US.
Matt is represented by Freddie Dawson — to work with Matt please email Nicky Lander while Freddie is on maternity leave.
