about

matthew m. laskowski,
illustrator and background artist

“Plastic Shards” is the creative outlet for myself, Matt Laskowski, an illustrator living and working in Los Angeles as a background design artist for animation.

My work is characterized by my understanding of perspective, architecture, and detail, enhanced with a touch of storytelling.

I have over 8 years experience working professionally in design and animation studio environments, and are familiar with standard industry workflows, work well with teams, positively receive and implement feedback, and have a fully outfitted home office for remote work.

I’ve been an active artist of IATSE Local 839 Animation Guild since 2020.

Sorry, not currently! I’m a full-time production artist and don’t have time between work and looking for more work!
