"Matthew illustrated 'Dan’s Mischievous Shadow' for me and was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. From the outset, he was highly collaborative, approachable, and genuinely invested in bringing the story and characters to life in a way that captured the tone of the book perfectly. He combined strong technical skill with creativity and imagination, producing illustrations that added warmth, humour, and personality to the project. He was also very receptive to feedback and able to adapt ideas quickly while still bringing his own artistic insight and originality to the work. One of the things I appreciated most was his communication and professionalism. He was reliable, responsive, easy to work with, and consistently enthusiastic about the project. The process felt genuinely collaborative rather than transactional, and his contribution significantly strengthened the final result. I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew for illustration or other creative freelance projects and would be delighted to work with him again in the future."

"Timur Akhmedjanov is an exceptional artist whose work brings depth, warmth, and imagination to storytelling. His illustrations for Menik the Little Mammoth and Elish and the Wicker Tale are not merely visual components, they are an essential part of the narrative experience. Timur has a remarkable ability to translate emotion into imagery. In Menik the Little Mammoth, his art captures innocence and childish curiosity that resonates deeply with both children and adults. Each page feels alive, inviting the reader into a gentle, immersive world. In Elish and the Wicker Tale, his style evolves to reflect a more textured, narrative atmosphere. The compositions are rich with detail and meaning, balancing mystery and adventure while maintaining a strong visual identity throughout the novel. What sets Timur apart is his sensitivity to narrative tone and his ability to enhance it visually without overpowering it. He reads, adapts, and then elevates the story into something unforgettable. Working with Timur is both inspiring and seamless. He is professional, attentive, and deeply committed to his craft. Any project he touches gains a distinctive artistic voice that lingers long after the final page. I wholeheartedly recommend Timur Akhmedjanov as a truly gifted book artist."

"I've known Tim since 1999, when a friend of mine told me about an art project he was running, and described Tim as a talented musician and sound designer who was achieving impressive results on the project. At the time I was looking for a musician to create some specially composed tracks for the film I was making for Channel 4’s premier documentary series, Cutting Edge. It was meant to explore our peculiar relationship with air travel. We titled it, ‘Plane Crazy’. Tim came ‘onboard’ and was very responsive to the material we’d shot and the graphics sequences we were building, and composed some original tracks that synchronised beautifully with the edited film. The Channel 4 commissioner enjoyed Tim’s work and ‘Plane Crazy’ was well received. Since that time, I’ve worked with Tim on a number of documentaries. Tim scored all the music on a two-part Channel 4 series I did in 2003 about the artist and inventor Leonardo Da Vinci (entitled ‘Leonardo’s Dream Machines’). He also worked with me on a three part series about the origin stories of the world’s great spices for BBC2 in 2011 (‘The Spice Trail’). Tim consistently supplied innovative and original compositions that dove-tailed well with what we were creating in the edit. Tim is an insightful and hard working composer. He’s quick to understand what film makers are endeavouring to create and provides original and innovative musical solutions that elevate the film’s message. I’ve always found him a valuable asset to the film-making process, and would recommend him to anyone seeking a composer and sound designer."
