About

Matt Griffin is an internationally recognised, award-winning Irish artist, author, and storyteller whose work moves between illustration, literature, animation, and emerging digital media.

Rooted in myth, science fiction, and speculative design, his art explores how stories can travel across mediums – and how technology is reshaping the act of storytelling itself.

Matt has created work for Disney, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros, National Geographic, Penguin Random House, HarperCollins and The Folio Society. He is best known for the Penguin/Ace deluxe editions of all six of Frank Herbert’s Dune series, acclaimed for their atmospheric vision and visual storytelling. For The Folio Society he has illustrated Arthur C. Clarke’s Rendezvous With Rama and a signed limited edition of Liu Cixin’s Three-Body Problem trilogy. For the latter, he generated the box lining from real simulations of the three-body problem itself.

As an author, he wrote and illustrated The Ayla Trilogy (The O’Brien Press), winner of the Literacy Association of Ireland’s Children’s Book of the Year Award. His ongoing multimedia project, The Endling Saga, expands that storytelling ambition into new forms – blending narrative, visual art, sound, and interactive technology to explore the boundaries between myth, consciousness, and digital reality.

His work has appeared in Polygon, IGN, People, The Hollywood Reporter, Tor.com, io9, Sci-Fi-O-Rama, and Slashfilm, and has earned recognition from The Society of Illustrators, 3x3, Creative Quarterly, and ICAD. He is also known globally for his limited-edition movie posters for Bottleneck Gallery (US) and Vice Press (UK).

Matt lives in County Clare, Ireland, with his wife and three children.
