About Mat McIvor
I Was Born With Buphthalmos and Infantile Glaucoma.
I had operations to save the sight in my eyes when i was about 8 months old.
The sight was saved in my left eye, but not in my right.
I’m still blind in one eye!
When I Was Younger, I Always Wanted To Be….
…. To Be An Architect….
…. Then I Found Out You Had To Study For Seven Years….
….. And Decided That I Couldn’t Be Bothered…..
So I Ended Up Going To Art College To Study Fine Art…….
…. And After Seven Years And A Degree Ended Up Signing On The Dole ….
I now live and work as an artist in Cornwall.
I also own a clothes shop with my wife Izzy, called Fishboy PZ.
I sing in a dirty, garage post punk band called Night Motor
