She always reminded me of Bugs Bunny in drag, which in my opinion is one of the highest forms of art.

A scene from Andor for no reason in particular. No “fiction being inspired by history and then reflecting the present” to see here.

She came to an art show of mine like 15 years ago and I ended up painting her. She was as lovely and smart and funny as she was online. Great human

Happy 3 year anniversary to Spike’s adoption day. You are a light in a darkening world.

Carthasis of the week was Deaf Club at Zebulon last night. What a release. Justin Pearson is still the maniacal dervish he was 20 years ago.

Mickey 17 couldn’t have been more timely, topical and thematic for this moment in time.

Always a classic story to be passed down from generation to generation. Crusts, skins, and punks have been dealing with these dipshits for as long as the subcultures have existed. Fuck ‘em all

Todays is my wife’s birthday. She’s the absolute fucking best. This is part of a painting I did of her.

Post you from another. 1994 headshots for Dragon Modeling (an alternative modeling agency based in Los Feliz) when tattoos and piercings were still novel. 🫠

“Apocalypse Now” 2018 Oil on panel Seems apropos with the death cult who fetishizes every awful animal instinct we have in us under the guise of morality and faith driving the country

In the past day since I’ve switched over to learning Squirrel Girl in Marvel Rivals I’ve been called a fat bitch, a fat whore, and a fat ass. The toxic haze of misogyny and body shaming within gaming culture never fails to disappoint me

What a loss for all the weirdos. His vision and art will be missed

“The Queen is Dead” was part of a series of paintings that never made it past this one piece. Pretty par for the course with me tbh

“Horizon Line” was a large scale painting from about a decade ago. It was part of a larger immersive experience that I conceived alongside a chef. Initially shown at the Santa Monica Museum of Modern Art

Leather Forever was a painting of Danny Lethal I did for a benefit put on by the Tom of Finland foundation. I love the chaotic and brief nature of analogue disruption

“Head Like a Hole”- my first painting of a glitched/disrupted image. I was and still am trying to reconcile and explore the fragility of memory and perception after my mom passed away from dementia.

Summertime Sadness- a piece I painted about everything inevitably falling apart. Seems apropos

This is another. The whole shitbag “your body, my choice” mantra makes this one feel too relevant

Back in ‘16 after the first election I riffed on the idea of horror’s ability to make social commentary in a astute but metaphorical way in a series of paintings. The writing was on the wall about the right’s demonization of feminism and attacking their rights. This was 1 of them with it’s VHS print

@matthewbone.bsky.social Just got back from seeing the Cure’s show in London. That was a pretty fantastic hurrah before the election

@matthewbone.bsky.social I paint things, I play a ton of video games, play a ton of D&D, have a pack of rescue dogs alongside my wonderful wife, and am a failed idealist. Not sure what I’m gonna use this account for 🤷🏻
