"Who is Matthew Mayer?" As I looked at the oscillating screen, pondering the fibrous answers that those deceptively simple words seemed to hint at, I arrived at a singular realisation. The gentleman in question would not without great difficulty find himself reduced to a string of tawdry words and phrases. It was time to dig deeper. Time to don the cap of vital archaelogy. Time to look beyond the question and to find the man himself, whose cloak and shroud of gilded mystery had long posed questions as to the origin of his beguiling grandeur and its subtle mechanisms. The answers were stranger and more revolutionary than anyone could have hoped for, taking this author from the depths of the pot-holes of Grimbsy to the far reaches of mountainous Southern Lima. But the greatest journey I made was not one of time and space, but rather it was a journey to the depths of the human heart. The ventricular magnificence of that journey is one which I will never forget...'

I also paint pictures, have brilliant hair, and would love to share fashion tips.

I take on commissions when I can, so do email me with any ideas that may be bouncing round your mind, and I’ll discuss ideas, prices, composition and feasibility. If you use the links available on the main page, you’ll be given a tiny window into my eclectic world and what I do, which may be of some use.

Take care and stay safe, stranger,

Matt
