The Corner Society Welcomes Illustrator Mat Pringle
Mat Pringle was born in South London. He spent an idyllic childhood climbing trees and drawing dinosaurs. After a few false starts, he studied graphic design at the London College of Communication, eventually stumbling his way into the murky world of illustration. He now spends his time doing fantastical figurative illustrations with epic attention to detail; working predominantly with dipping pen and ink. He has since expanded into print-making with the guidance of Print Club London and has since set up a ram-shackle screen-printing studio of his own. He continues drawing dinosaurs (only not quite as well).
His work has been featured in several exhibitions, such as: Multiplayer II (Gallery 1988, L.A), MuTate Britain, DIY London Seen, Pictoplasma Paris and Blisters On My Fingers. It can be found on album covers and sleeves which, as a self-confessed record nerd, makes him very happy. Clients include Threadless, Get A Grip, Cure Studios, Tor Press, Proper Songs and 2nd Drop Records.
Pringle is currently in talks to collaborate with Mariusz Zubrowski, The Corner Society’s lead administrator.
