Son Tries To Make People Laugh By Photoshopping His Dad Into Famous Paintings (23 Pics)
There are some works of art that everyone’s seen so many times that it’s hard to imagine them as anything different from the original. Not to this guy, though—Matt Bonito has reimagined some of the world’s most famous paintings using pictures of his dad. As expected, the results turned out to be pretty hilarious.
Matt worked on this idea for 23 consecutive days and came out with 23 surprising edits—scroll down to see them. In a previous Bored Panda post, you can also check out another variation of this idea, when Matt decided to photoshop his dad into famous scenes of cinema.

"Octogenarian Gothic."

Bro, at my elementary school there was this painting in the media center and it always scared the s**t out of me because the one dude was holding a pitchfork and it looked like he was gonna kill his wife
"My dad used to be a teacher at the local high school and was quite a popular one, which is why so many people were initially excited by the idea, although he’s in his 80s now and long since retired,” Matt told us in our previous interview.
“Beyond that, he’s a musician and has been playing regularly since the '60s, and has done a lot of local theatre over the years, so he’s a performer at heart, which is why he always enjoys 'acting' for the pictures every year".

"Brilliant, I just had that leg fixed."
At first, Matt was just taking pictures of his dad doing silly things around the house and only started photoshopping after a while. Gladly, his dad thought it was a great idea: "He absolutely loves doing it and looks forward to it every year, even though it's quite a lot of work to put together, but he's a performer at heart, so he really enjoys himself and the attention he gets!"

Do you have any idea how much yoga it takes to get a real 84-year-old into this position?

Either your father is a master of yoga and contortion, or you are incredibly skilled with PhotoShop.

Edvard Munch, Oil, Tempera, Pastel And Crayon On Cardboard, 1893
"Aaagh!"
As for Matt himself, he told us: "I’m a graphic designer by trade, so I’ve been working with Photoshop for a long time (although you wouldn’t know it to look at some of my early efforts!). I’ve also inherited my dad’s musical talents—playing guitar, piano, drums, and singing—and have played in various bands over the years, although COVID means I won’t be performing anywhere any time soon!"

"I absolutely should not have eaten that cheese."
Jeffery Gauss 3 years ago
Vincent died in 1890. How could he had painted this after his death? He painted it in 1889!
Matt, his girlfriend, and their “slightly angry” cat live near Cambridge in the UK and Matt's dad lives in a small town about half an hour away. The artist is happy to have a good relationship with his dad: "My dad and I get on so well. We try to have dinner together at least once a week when the subject of Dadvent usually comes up. He’s basically an older version of me, so it’s nice to just hang out sometimes."

A friend with weed is a friend indeed, and a friend who shares is a friend who cares.

As long as he does so in his own bedroom and not in mine, I am totally fine with that - you do you, Michael!

"Ceci n'est pas une banjo player."

I was promised a Granny Smith for this photoshop, I got Fray Bentos steak & kidney instead?
Tobias the Tiger 3 years ago
"This is not a banjo player." Presumably, it's a reference to a similar picture that had a picture of a pipe captioned with "This is not a pipe" in French, because it's not a pipe, it's a picture of a pipe.
