A note from Matt The Unfathomable Artist:

I’m writing this differently from my usual posts.

The Reality with my Art Working

Most of the time I share the finished pieces, the ideas and the process. Today I want to be honest about the practical side: keeping the studio running takes real resources and I can’t do that on inspiration alone.

I’m an independent artist. I work solid hours, I research, do all my own administration, draft, paint and keep going until the piece is ready. That part is the privilege. The really hard part is that every new work has a cost attached to it.

The gold acrylics, heavier surfaces, panels, varnishes, the technology that keeps the workflow stable, even the cost of keeping this site online so I can keep sharing work with you. It all adds up.

So I’m making a straightforward ask.

How You Can Help

A lot of you have followed my work for a long time. People often ask if there’s a way to support the studio beyond buying an original artwork.

If the work brings you something, if you enjoy the fusion of science, nature and subconscious that I share here, please consider contributing to the Studio Fund.

What Your Support Does

This support keeps the studio moving.

• It helps me buy the materials that make the work possible
• Covers the running costs of sharing the work publicly
• Supports me whilst I’m working on drafts or busily researching pieces

If you can only give the price of a coffee, every donation helps. If you can’t give at all, you’re still welcome here. Reading, sharing, commenting, being present: that support is real too.

To Corporate and Science Readers

If you represent a research body, organisation or business and you see value in supporting research-focused art, I’m happy to receive donations or formal sponsorships to aligned projects. If you want to chat, please reach out directly via email.

Thank You for being here, genuinely.

I love the work I do.

Best wishes

Matt The Unfathomable Artist
