“The ethos behind my business is that art should be affordable.”

Thank you for visiting my website. As a small business, your support means the world to me. Here’s my story so far.

With a background in Graphic Design and Fine Art, I launched Drawn By Matt in 2010. I combined those passions to create custom, affordable art through commissions, prints, and apparel, focusing on classic car illustrations. To bring the brand to life, I bought a 1988 Ford Escort — Ellie — which quickly became my company car. Ellie fits the business perfectly and has taken me to countless car shows, where I’ve met incredible people who share my passion for classic cars.

I run Drawn By Matt as a sole trader, but my family is very much part of the journey. My wife and two children are my biggest supporters: helping on the stand at car shows, grabbing coffees while I talk to customers, and keeping things running at home while I hand-draw custom pieces. I’m a family man at heart, and though I face challenges living with Multiple Sclerosis, I continue to grow the business and create affordable, hand-drawn artwork for people who love classic cars as much as I do.
