Exploring the painting, design and architecture of Theo Van Doesburg (1883-1931), founder of the modernist De Stijl movement – using the artist’s explosive words and images in a surreal comics documentary format – Matthew Brown continues the fragmentary, poetic graphic novel style he pioneered in ORNETTE SPEAKS, ROTHKO and WHAT IS MEDITATION?  

Also containing forays into human anatomy and remembered song lyrics from Joy Division, The Beatles, Billie Holliday and David Bowie, plus a remarkable assortment of icons and oddities.

"Graphic Influence" launched on ComiXology!

My exploration of the subliminal images which romp through my comics subconsciousness is now live on ComiXology...

Exhibiting at TCAF - Toronto Comic Arts Festival, 2021

Here are some promo videos for my two latest books, debuting at the online Toronto Comic Arts Festival, 2021 - running from May 8-15, plus a short tour of my work space!

This short promo video introduces my book "Graphic Influence" and explains how during lockdown I hunted through my bookshelves for the comics which shaped me, including Star Wars, Daredevil and Peanuts -- and how I used my impressions of modern and ancient architecture as a backdrop and put the whole thing in a poetic, surreal and continuous mixtape landscape.

This is a short promo video introduces my book "Ornette Speaks" and explains who Ornette Coleman was, how I got the inspiration to do a comic about him, and how my working approach was influenced by Ornette and free jazz.

This is a short promo video shows my workspace, with page 108 from my latest book PENGUIN DETECTIVE, "The Case of No Case" on the drawing board!

More work in progress can be seen on my Instagram.

If any of this work tickles your fancy, please feel free to check out my books on Amazon!
