Matt Frank

A graduate of the University of Texas in Austin, Artist Matt Frank splits his time between drawing robots… and monsters! Matt gained popularity with his fan art series Godzilla Neo and has since made a name for himself penciling many Godzilla comics.

Matt entered the world of the Transformers by creating character illustrations for IDW’s Beast Wars Sourcebook. He then did interior pencils for Transformers: Animated – Rise of Safeguard. Currently, Matt’s artwork can be seen in the pages of the Transformers Collectors Club story, “Flash Forward”.

TFExpo is thrilled to welcome Matt Frank to Wichita for TFExpo 2012! Matt will be speaking with fans and signing autographs throughout the day. And he may just have something special up his sleeve for attendees of the show…
