After completion of the School of Arts at the University of Kingston, it is possible for one year to tour the region of the southern seas with a sea voyage and to improve their skills. A year later he returned to Britain, but more with pencil and brush away than at home. At a time when photography fotoizkustvoto dominate, he managed to turn upside-down view that pen and brush objects are on the wane art.

    To build his reputation and contributed many illustrations to the preparation of books, as well as a series of five commemorative postage stamps. Particularly influenced by his collaboration with the editors of the newspaper “Times” having experience working with some of the world’s best illustrators. They began to use Matthew Cook in coverage of events, where instead of a photographer is sent illustrator possessing an appropriate degree of courage and imagination – qualities often lacking in today in modern artdirektori. In the words of one of the leading specialists of the “Times” David, “although this type of projects are very often used by different companies, the problem is that few artists can enforce it. Reportage is the hardest form of execution with an illustration because it includes everything that is … form of surveillance that is able to attract people who work with numbers that move, focusing on specific events that have a strong graphic sense and is able to tell a story … “And Matthew Cook it – it is too demanding in the preparation of their reports, rising above challenges, it emanates from watercolors smoothness, sharpness and sheer purity. The editor of ‘The Times’ Peter Stothard wanted to create a historical record of the events of recent years in Afghanistan, the implementation of planned changes that instruct the graphics and akvarelista Matthew Cook. And he executed, as always very creative and innovative solutions, recording and create a unique historical collection of events.
