Welcome folks!
First of all let me introduce myself.
My name is Mathieu Laroche but I go by the nickname of MATEL, it just appeared one day and stayed…
Born and raised in Quebec city, Canada.
I’m fascinated by character design since a long time. I get my inspiration from the banality of the everyday life, people, nature, etc… The result made from mixed mediums flirts with caricature. Evolving in a goofy universe, my characters take all kind of shapes and expressions while having their own specific meaning. Snowboarding and skateboarding have had a major influence on my awakening to art and design. I spend most of my time painting, drawing and working on illustrations for all kind of clients, from swag to murals.
In the past years I worked with cool clients such as; Yes snowboards, Rome snowboards, DevGru snowboards, Burton snowboards, Brasseurs du Nord, De Stefani Winery, Vans, Ville de Québec, plenty of cool restaurants and more…
Well that’s it!
Hit me up if you want to talk about a project you have in mind, it will be my pleasure to see how we can collaborate together!
Later!
