Matthew Midgley

 Matthew Midgley is a contemporary artist who works with mixed media. This piece, called Swedish Meatballs & Gravy I find really interesting, as the contrast between the lettuce and the chips and the lindon berries, really brightens up the top half of the image. He used a fineliner to create a stroke around the illustration, and watercolours to add in the colours.
This image of the converse all star trainer has some really interesting textures. I really like the denim-esque texture of the canvas, and the texture of the laces is also quite subtle but adds a lot to the image. I find his use of fine liners to create a really precise stroke really interesting. His illustrations, in contrast to the explosive, expressive work of Georgina Luck, is generally quite neat and precise
