In October 2011, Matthew co-founded Good Press a volunteer-run-informal-organisation dedicated to the promotion and distribution of independently published printed matter with a focus on visual arts and writing; music and artist objects. His work is practice-led with a particular focus in sub-underground music and fandom, community and collaboration and re-situating these in an art and design publishing context. He is currently a lecturer in Communication Design at The Glasgow School of Art and has spoken, exhibited, and collaborated internationally.
