Gathering Splinters
Matthew Holtmeier is an artist and woodworker crafting under the name Gathering Splinters. His artistry and craftsmanship are heavily influenced by his love of all things fantasy and many hours spent playing roleplaying games, such as Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. These interests are reflected in his artwork, which runs from the cartoonish to the abstract, oftentimes leaving itself open to multiple interpretations along the way. Markers and ink are his favored medium since they lend themselves well to heavy lines and bold colors.
He has also brought his love of gaming into his woodworking, crafting accessories for gamers including dice trays and boxes. Aside from functionality and durability, an emphasis on beauty and artistry has been a main focus. In the past, his woodworking has incorporated embellishments, such as pyrography and carving, which helps set it apart from other crafters. For more information please stop by his online portfolio at www.gatheringsplinters.work.
