Mat Greaves is a cartoonist and painter from Manchester.
He has been published in Private Eye and Viz magazine, as well as several comics anthologies.
Mat is also a founding member of Underground Kingdom Comix, a collective of UK small press cartoonists.
His work has been described as “funny”, “cartoony” and “slapstick” – but also “intelligent”, so bear that in mind.
Mat is happiest when doing his own thing; he gets more out of it that way.
