Five Point Press
Five Point Press was a passion project that developed out of creating physical merch during the UK lockdown. With a drastic and sudden reduction in commissions, we chose to use that time to develop our personal art brand Five Point Press, which was inspired by 19th century (Victorian Gothic era) illustration and etching aesthetics.
Alongside physical products (multiple sold-out run of organic cotton tees, the Victorian Otherworld Zine, greeting cards and various prints) Mat retrained as a tattooist in the same etching line style, which was a fantastic creative few years, until unfortunately he was diagnosed with osteoarthritis (no cartilage left in the joints) and had to refocus on digital work.
After 2024 world events made shipping physical merch increasingly unsustainable, and print-on-demand services just didn't provide the quality we wanted for our customers. Five Point Press was discontinued completely in 2026, but we will always be grateful for the amazing people we met during this time and the overwhelming positive support and enthusiasm that was returned from creating original artwork in a specific and loved field.
