Mat Williams, 30, was commissioned by Lupus Films in December 2015 to produce a drawing of the astronaut floating with The Snowman and The Snowdog because Major Tim had tweeted to say he was a fan of the film and its composer, Ilan Eshkeri. Mat, a background artist for the 2012 animation, had to scan the drawing to send an image of it to the International Space Station, but a few weeks ago the artist finally got to meet Major Tim in person, giving him the special picture.
