My Bio

I am a traditional artist and illustrator. I live in the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic, with my wife and three children.

I work mainly as a freelance graphic and web designer (making websites, posters and print publications), but also a self-taught artist, selling my pictures online in my Etsy shop.

As an artist, I focus on landscapes, architecture and fantasy illustrations. My great love and inspiration is the world of J. R. R. Tolkien (see Tolkien folder) and I've created many illustrations based on his books. But I am also inspired by other fantasy worlds as well as real-life landscapes and architecture. My speciality is decorative border designs, taking inspiration from various historical art styles. I have often used my traditional art in my graphic design projects, too.

I have a personal website www.matejcadil.cz and a site called Angrenost about the world of J. R. R. Tolkien (in Czech) with my illustrations.

If you like my art, I have some exciting news for you. I have been thinking about how to make my artistic work more sustainable, as painting takes time, while I work full-time as a graphic designer and must take care of my family too. I do take commissions and sell pictures on Etsy, but not everyone is able to buy them, so I thought about another way so that people who find value in my art could express that, showing their appreciation and getting acknowledgement for that. Therefore, I decided to launch my Patreon page! 👉 https://www.patreon.com/matejcadil 👈 You don't know what Patreon is? It is a place for connecting artists and the...

A Czech calendar of Tolkien illustrations

0 min read
