It has been my genuine pleasure to watch Matty grow as an artist, a photographer and most importantly, as a man. I never cease to be amazed by his talents.

It has been my genuine pleasure to watch Matty grow as an artist, a photographer and most importantly, as a man. I never cease to be amazed by his talents. Whether it be his drawings, his inward reflections or an image that speaks volumes about the person he is. His ability to capture the world around him is astounding. Whether it is his relationship, an old building being demolished, or a simple clay pot full of freshly planted flowers Matty never fails to deliver amazing photography that tells a story about himself, his life or his world. I am honored to call him friend and humbled that the feeling is mutual.

why does beauty of form make choices? so as to bring attention to beauty of spirit. Matty is a gifted artist in so many ways. Yes I can't hide the fact that I believe he's gorgeous, but his art is what keeps me coming back to his stream. His images are in some ways hauntingly beautiful and each tells a story.

why does beauty of form make choices? so as to bring attention to beauty of spirit. Matty is a gifted artist in so many ways. Yes I can't hide the fact that I believe he's gorgeous, but his art is what keeps me coming back to his stream. His images are in some ways hauntingly beautiful and each tells a story. When he shares some of his words alongside his drawings/paintings, the stories are vivid. Hold him tight Matty! Love you both Rob

matty! has helped me remember my old art school days. a far off land from where i am today: stuck in corporate america working as a design slave. he has encouraged me to not only purchase a sketch book, but also to start illustrating again. the thing i love the best about his photos is that they jump from old school ar… Read more

matty! has helped me remember my old art school days. a far off land from where i am today: stuck in corporate america working as a design slave. he has encouraged me to not only purchase a sketch book, but also to start illustrating again. the thing i love the best about his photos is that they jump from old school art (non computer) to digital bliss. keep up the good work and keep those amazing works of art coming.

Multi-talented and gorgeous to boot...I happened upon Matts images and now I'm hooked. His drawings have an innocence with sinister undertones, the shear movement in his technique are to be commended. This translates well into his photography. His self portraiture is beautiful and depicts an open side that makes me r… Read more

His self portraiture is beautiful and depicts an open side that makes me regret that we have never met. You are unique Matt (except the name of course) thanks. Matt xxx

Matt is one of the few artists I've come across on Flickr who lives almost totally in the passion of the aesthetic experience. I look forward to each of his new postings eagerly whether it be his photographic self-portraiture, his pensive photostudies, his iconic drawing or his evocative paintings. Irrespective, his offerings are like his commentary, open and a generous and always without guile. He is 'sui generis'- one of a kind, it is apparent in his photographs, his drawings and paintings, and in the life they reveal. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," so it is with Matt Ward. Once you've discovered him you won't want to go long between visits, I assure you.
