Matthew Gilliard

Matthew Gilliard is a New York based artist and designer. His primary focus and art style is inspired by the well-known artist Tom of Finland. Graduated from Philadelphia University with a Bachelors of Architecture and currently working as a designer. For Matt, art has been an essential aspect of his life from a youth age. Before being inspired by Tom of Finland’s work, architecture was his main focus and art style. Fascinated with every detail that goes into designing a building.

Matt wanted to expand his abilities beyond architecture. He started working on a collection of sketches, all based around the male form. Trying to capture the essence of the person he was sketching, as he has been able to do for so long in his architectural sketches.
