Our Matthew’s Sketches from Afghanistan exhibition at the Ministry of Defence has been getting rather a lot of media coverage! Matthew is the true master of reportage and we are really proud of him and the amazing work he continues to produce with crushingly enviable accuracy he is a living legend in our eyes and we are chuffed that so many people will now be aware of him. Please contact us if you would like to see images from this series. Here are some of the news reports and prime time TV/Radio interviews;
