Err… “frightening females”? … “gruesome gals”? I’m running out of alliterative descriptions for the titillating topic of petrifying pin-ups!

Anyway, Matt Dixon’s wonderful women are hardly horrific, gruesome or frightening… if anything they’re delightfully creepy ( in a cute and playful kinda way ). On his website Matt tells us, “I’ve been an enthusiastic waver of pens and pencils for as long as I can remember.”

“Digital art first captured my imagination when I began to assemble images from ASCII characters on a Commodore VIC-20 way back in 1980,” says Matt. “Happily, things have moved along a little and Adobe Photoshop allows me to achieve slightly more sophistacted results than I got back then.”

No kidding! I found Matt’s work featured yesterday on the front page of CGHub, but the gaming industry found Matt long before that. He’s been creating artwork there since 1988 and says, “I was privileged to be involved with numerous high profile game and movie licenses, including Harry Potter, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon and Pirates of the Caribbean.”

Matt, who includes Norman Rockwell and Robert McGinnis among his inspirational influences, now works freelance providing illustration and concept design for print and digital media. On top of his busy workload he somehow still finds the time to dish up deliciously deadly damsels for us to adore. Now that’s what I call a Hallowe’en treat! Matt Dixon’s website
