Matt Dixon is a British illustrator and concept artist best known for his melancholic robot worlds and bold pin-up artwork. His artistic journey began early, drawing with crayons and later experimenting with pixel art on a Commodore VIC‑20. In 1988, he entered the video game industry and spent over a decade as a senior artist, contributing to major titles like Pirates of the Caribbean, Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, and Harry Potter.
Since transitioning to freelance work in 2007, Matt has forged a dual path: one exploring the emotional lives of robots in his long-running Transmissions series, and the other celebrating the expressive power of the female form through stylish, vintage-inspired pin-up art. His pin-ups—featured in books like Girls on Top and Thigh Voltage—mix attitude, fantasy, and sensuality with a painter’s eye for light and composition.
Matt’s versatility has made him a sought-after illustrator across industries. His concept art has shaped iconic characters like the O₂ mascot “Bubl,” and his work appears in magazines, games, galleries, and collectible art books. In 2022, his world of robots took center stage in the exhibition “A Sense of Wonder” at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, where visitors explored immersive spaces filled with sketches, animations, and life-sized robot sculptures.
Whether designing for screens or pages, Matt Dixon continues to inspire wonder, humor, and introspection—proving that robots and pin-ups can both tell deeply human stories.
Matt Dixon’s artistic world is shaped by two powerful forces: a sense of nostalgic wonder and a fascination with form—both mechanical and human. Though he keeps his personal life mostly private, his work reveals an artist attuned to subtle emotion and visual storytelling, whether through the rusted melancholy of a forgotten robot or the confident pose of a timeless pin-up.
His signature robot illustrations are built from mood and memory. Using digital tools and painterly textures, Matt constructs scenes where lonely machines evoke curiosity, loss, or gentle humor. The lighting is cinematic, the color palettes subdued, and every detail carefully considered to invite quiet reflection.
In contrast, his pin-up art bursts with energy and allure. Inspired by classic cheesecake illustration and modern fantasy, these works are often cheeky, sometimes fierce, but always technically refined. He brings the same precision and storytelling to each figure—highlighting attitude through pose, costume, and expression. Whether sultry or whimsical, his pin-ups feel alive.
This balance—between rust and glamour, solitude and spark—defines Matt Dixon’s style. Each brushstroke, whether digital or traditional, carries both a craftsman’s control and an artist’s imagination.
