Art, comics, graphic design and web development by the artist: Matthew Taylor

I painted this watercolour picture of Crystal to use as part of the design for a new version of this website but I didn't use it after all. I was inspired by the beautiful watercolour art by Arthur Rackham and his subdued colour schemes.
See a larger version of Subdued Crystal (Watercolour and ink illustration in muted colours) on my new website.
'Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. There is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you're trying to make.' - Roy Lichtenstein
