by Matthew Spencer

His light fades with the change of seasons; his departure ushering in the frigid reign of winter.

–
Inspired by myths and folklore, by tales of ever-shifting Fae courts and by the magic inherent in the wheel of the year.

Painted in watercolor, gouache, and ink on 140lb Arches hot press paper, accented with metal leaf and metallic gold ink.

Matthew Spencer

Matthew Spencer is a queer illustrator from southeast Michigan.

He works primarily in ink, watercolor and gouache (often embellished with metal leaf), creating pieces inspired by folklore, history, and nature.

Outside of his freelance work, he has been slowly but surely been illustrating his own tarot deck. The Courtly Beasts Tarot- along with a good deal of Matthew’s other personal work- depicts a fantastical world populated by anthropomorphic animals in elaborate costume, set within lush environments both botanical and architectural.
