Out Here Studio

Out-Here is a family-run illustration studio specialising in artwork for adventure brands. Creative power couple Matt & Frances and their tiny design intern QB form a studio like no other. Together, they make epic artwork inspired by the great outdoors, loaded with nostalgia.

After 15 years of working in the creative industry for fancy studios and big brands, Matt set up Out Here to focus on the good stuff. A studio that makes epic work, turning clients into good friends, and leaving plenty of time for adventure.

So if you want more time for surfin’, call up the studio and get it done for you. The work from Out-Here is meticulous in its finish, made by a team that’s obsessed with the craft. Stellar projects delivered with a family-style kindness, bang on time. Masters of tees, posters, and highly sought-after merch.

Matt Brooks (Design & Creative)

Matt is a dreamer. Slap bang in the middle of a Venn diagram between Bob Ross, Marty McFly, and Fox Mulder. He spends most of his time drawing pictures of the wild, with a skateboard in hand, and is always on the trail of the weird and wonderful.

Besides illustration, making rad merch, and keeping this ship afloat, you’ll find him lost in the Twin Peaks theme tune, thinking up plans for cabins he can’t afford, and watching reruns of American Pickers. He’s a rad Dad, a hoarder of 90s toys, and a sucker for nostalgia.

Just like a mad scientist, Matt has perfected a very specific workflow in the studio: Hawaiian pizza, large cherry slurpees, listening to Death Cab, playing Castlevania, waving pennant flags, and reading vintage comics. These are the main ingredients to his happy, creative life.

Frances Brooks (Creative & Operations)

Frances is a Swiss Army knife and a Zen master, equipped with the ability to solve any problem and remain totally cool under pressure.

An experienced art director who has worked on client projects for Nike, Samsung, and Google, her 15+ yrs experience keeps this train on the track. With a perfect eye for detail and the planning ability of a NASA scientist, she ensures every project delivers on time and on budget.

As well as holding down the fort at Out-Here, Frances is a travel fanatic and adventure head, she’s constantly plotting a new road trip and building epic playlists to go with them. Pearl Jam and Powderfinger, Foo Fighters and Feeder, if it’s got guitar and sounds like the 90s, she’s into it.
