About Me

Untitled Document

I have blocked anyone who can't name my last name from making friend requests.I mean, look around and you can figure it out.

I NO LONGER GIVE CRITIQUES. DON'T BOTHER ASKING.

I don't approve friendship requests from people with private profiles unless I know them. If I can't read your profile, I cannot approve you. Also, you must earn your add. I am being more picky now. If you don't send an e-mail explaining why I should add you, I won't. Real friends exempted, of course!

I have had DNA testing which proves that I am a direct descendant of Valentine Hollingsworth, who moved from Northern Ireland to the States in the 1680s.

"Matt is the gold standard. He is the level of excellence that everyone else in the field tries to achieve, and few rarely even come close. He is so much more than a colorist, he is a storyteller and a cinematographer."

-Brian Michael Bendis , writer of Daredevil, Powers, The Pulse and others.

"Matt Hollingsworth killed a man and paid to cover it up. No kidding. The body's in a churchyard in Columbus, Texas, under a headstone marked JAN HEIDLEBLATT. Don't know what happened to the real Jan. But Hollingsworth killed that feller, killed him dead, plumb ran him over with his own damn truck."

"Looking at Matt Hollingsworth's coloring, I always say to myself- well, better than being held down and raped, I suppose."

"Matt Hollingsworth is the guy I'd have coloring all my books, if such a thing were possible. He thinks of color as part of the narrative, making his tones integral to the story in a way that few others can. Coloring comics, brewing beer, shooting guns or flinging himself out of airplanes: he won't rest until he's mastered every aspect of his craft. I should know, I've benefitted directly from all four."

-Garth Ennis , writer of Preacher, Hellblazer, The Punisher and others

"Hollingsworth uses evil as a perfume to conceal the stink of his very pure soul."

-Grant Morrison , writer of The Invisibles, The Filth, The X-Men and others

"Matt Hollingsworth is one of the best and most important colourists in the American medium (and also a multiple-award-winning brewer of beer and an official judge at the annual Amsterdam dope-growing contest)."

-Warren Ellis , writer of The Authority, Transmetropolitan and millions of others

"Let's rape his ass!"

-Matt Hollingsworth

My Interests

Untitled Document I spend 90% of my time trying desperately not to get bored. genealogy. languages. python programming. linux. drums and rhythm in general.cg/computers/programming/digital art.photoshop/maya/xsi/bodypaint/zbrush. beer and the various aspects of brewing, judging and consuming beer. Wine and learning about grapes, their lineage, and geography of where they grow. Since I moved to Zagreb, I spend more of my time relaxing and traveling around the local area, and studying the Croatian language.Lemurs, because they're like monkey cats. cats, especially Tonkinese, though not because they're like lemurs. Meerkats.Politics, even if it makes me sick these days as the US seems to be run by retarded and evil people, which is a REALLY bad combination. comics. worked on them for 16 years now and cannot really ever leave. color, in general; perception of color, RGB and CMYK color models, printing presses and how they deal with color, monitors, screens, humans eyes, insect eyes. that sort of thing. also, emotional perception of color and color blindness. african, arabic, gypsy, persian and other music of a rhythmic nature, dance music and pop included, preferably not in a language i understand as i hate love songs and it seems 90% of songs are love songs. :-) helping people and making them have fun or making them happy. dunno why exactly, just gives me pleasure. guess i leech off of their fun and seeing and sharing it. i don't mean in a relief worker kind of way, more in a hang out kinda way. or with friends more than others. not sex, you dirty motherfuckers. breaking software is fun too. push it beyond it's limits and have repeated crashes, like a child pushing boundaries. cant' tell what you can or can't do unless you try. so, same thing with food. if you've never had it, try it. worst case, it sucks. best case, it rocks. barring any health hazards, of course.

I'd like to meet:
