Matt Farthing

🚨‼️ Matt Farthing (freelance creative at large) is now WYWD? ‼️ 🚨

Update your pocket books accordingly and come have a look at even more recent stuff that I have done.

My name is Matt and I make stuff for people. I do video, audio, experiential, images, consultancy and words. Recently I learned to solder and to tattoo (unrelated). Drop me a line if you want to know any more about my work, do something cool or share cute dog pictures.

Just down there are some recent, suitably esoteric, examples of my work. Currently I'm particularly passionate about outreach and inclusion with underrepresented people, the intersection between art and "content" and just writing a tonne of really nice music.
