Rodney Matthews

When I was about 10 years old I bought a poster called 'inverted landscape'... I had it on my wall for years. I just really liked it.
Some 28 years later I saw the artwork for two album covers, painted for a friend called Ian. He was from a Christian thrash metal band and the artist of the Album art was Rodney Matthews. It then clicked, he was the same artist who painted the original for the poster, from my childhood. Not only that, but he is also a Christian. He was also born and lived just a few miles away* from our office/home, in Paulton*, Somerset. Weird... but very cool.

His work is fantasy/sci-fi, and is extremely well known and respected in art circles... not so much the church perhaps? I bought a massive print recently of "In Search of Forever" - brilliant!

SO... If you haven't seen his stuff, do have a look...
