We thought we'd start of our artist features with a recent graduate of MICA who also was kind enough to lend MICA's illustration club a hand by being one of our judges for our "Beginnings" exhibition!

Matt Rockefeller is a freelance illustrator and visual development artist who received his BFA in illustration with a concentration in animation at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Born in Tucson, Arizona, he escaped the heat by delving into the worlds of comics, animation, and video games, and has found them a source of inspiration in his art. He specializes in creating images that communicate ideas, and he strives to be a storyteller in all aspects of his work.
