Love, Sex & Drunk-texts

2012

Hardcover available with BLURB.com. Ebook available on Amazon.com & iTunes. 

My name is Matthew Thomas and I've made some crappy choices in women throughout my life. So I created this book which highlights my slip-ups, the self-absorbed cries for attention from women, along with classic quotes and texts messages from love's most desperate moments. If you've ever hated everything (especially your ex) then you will enjoy every page as the tears fall fresh over your smart devices. Holla back son!

WTF

A mix of drawings, mixed-media, photography and digital art. Bare witness as I navigate through the digital age as best I can, just'a survivin' through all that self-hate, racism, classism, materialism and utter social stupidity! Gloves off, no holds barred this time around.
