About Matthew

A Canadian illustrator and Creative Director with over ten years of professional experience, Matthew has been proud to create poster and cover art for internationally released DVDs and Blu-Rays, magazine and comic covers, film festivals and more.

Throughout his childhood in the 80s and early 90s, he grew up in awe of the beautifully illustrated VHS covers that truly defined the film-going experience of his youth. This love of film art developed into a full-time career, where he is thrilled to work with filmmakers and distributors to create compelling artwork for new and old films alike.

what they’re saying

What Matthew Therrien does so spectacularly, and artistically, is showing us our monsters the way we now ‘feel’ about them….beloved and hauntingly beautiful.
