Matthew is an animator specializing in Flash. He is a graduate at the Art Institute of Philadelphia. Animation was a hobby that proved useful during his years in junior high and high school, by incorporating claymation into several school projects. During his senior year, he began learning Flash, which was quite a step up from using the old VHS camcorder he had used for his claymation, yet at times, just as frustrating (he learned to save a lot). After high school, he moved to Philadelphia to study and learn 3D animation, but eventually found himself being drawn back to Flash, which has become his main focus, including his work at Artifact Pictures.
