MATT BLEASE
Matt has been drawing pictures for 28 years. He loves riding his bike, Skateboarding, Chinese Chequers and Johnny Cash. Currently he’s working on a children’s book called Flat Ghosts. They’re a rare breed of ghosts that are as thin as a slice of bread, (medium sliced). A kind of psychedelic mix of the Yellow Submarine meets the Moomins.
