Mat Greaves

Monday, January 29th, 2024

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.

Dave Draws

Thursday, December 5th, 2019

Dave Draws is a freelance artist and illustrator who specialises in doodle maps of cities and large scale wall murals.

   Dave works predominantly in black and white with abstract patterns surrounding detailed illustrations of buildings and other objects. Dave lived in Berlin before he moved to Manchester where he

exhibited some of his more abstract doodle pieces. It was whilst he was out there that someone told him that his work looked like a city from above. This put the idea in Dave’s head of drawing quirky versions of

cities from above. Dave moved to Manchester and did just that, drawing Manchester from above and selling prints on his online shop. These maps have proved to be very popular and Dave has now drawn many cities including Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, London and York.

Dave also specialise in large scale murals where using his trusty posca pens he transfers doodle maps onto wall’s. turning blank white walls into bespoke maps. Dave’s past clients include Channel 4, Unilad, Innside New York, Manchester Arndale, Urban Bubble, CBRE and ITV.

if you are interested in a commission or a doodle map of your own then please get in touch!
