Matthew Ellero interview by Mark M.Whelan
Bird Balloon 3D, 2012
Media: Pencil, Watercolour. photoshop. Paper, scissors. Canon eos 1100D camera. 3D illustration for Digital Artist magazine.
Matthew Ellero’s wonderful, whimsical, multi-media artworks are derived from a sincere love for drawing which originated when he bought his first art book, by Rolf Harris, at a book fair when he was about seven years old.
Ellero was recently named one of Digital Artist magazine’s Top 10 ‘creatives to watch in 2012’. Based in the UK, he works as a freelance artist and modestly states, “I’ve been fortunate to work for a variety of clients including Digital Artist magazine and the American charity ‘Art with Heart.’ I am currently painting a wall mural based on Noah’s Ark for a local Primary School.”
I highly recommend visiting Ellero’s website www.matthewellero.com to experience the movement inherent in many of his pieces.
The artist’s dream is to fully illustrate a children’s book.
Cars in the Wild 3D, 2011
Media: Pencil/Photoshop/ scissors, glue. Originally a drawing produced for the OutSmart online exhibition on the theme of ‘the adventures of the SMART car’, this 3D version was a personal project.
