Matt Oberdier is a children’s book illustrator based out of Detroit, MI.
Art was a passion that started early for Matt. He recalls his fourth-grade classmates asking him to illustrate comic book characters for them. Then in fifth grade he had a realization. Matt sent a visiting Halloween storyteller a thank-you card illustrated with an image of the Headless Horseman. The storyteller was so impressed that, on a return visit, he gave young Matt an art set to encourage him.
The encouragement paid off. Matt has endeavored to make a career doing what he loves.
In his free time, Matt enjoys playing guitar, cooking, and photography.
