What's a better way to spend time with your parents than to laugh together at the humorous moments of our lives? Matt Bonito surely knows that! He makes his dad (Dom Bonito) pose for "stupid" photos every December so that they have something to giggle about. Luckily, we do too!
Using Photoshop, Matt places his father in famous scenes from movies, music videos, historical events and more! "I started taking pictures of my dad messing about around the house and posting it on Facebook. My dad used to be a teacher at the local high school, which makes him a bit of a local celebrity where he lives. The posts became really popular among my (and his) friends. I then came up with the idea of inserting him into famous historical images, and then films and TV programs," Matt previously shared with Bored Panda.

Matt shared that his dad loves doing photoshoots and always looks forward to them every year. "He's a performer at heart, so he really enjoys all the attention he gets, even though it's quite a lot of work sometimes."
For Matt, the best part of the creative process is when he finally can 'put' his dad into famous films. "I try to choose serious scenes that are made comedy by my dad’s inclusion, like turning the 'say hello to my little friend' scene in Scarface into a failed banjo lesson."
Originally Matt is a graphic designer, so he has a lot of experience working with Photoshop. However, his talents extend beyond the digital art world. In addition to his Photoshop skills, he has also inherited his dad's musicality and is able to play guitar, drums, piano, and even sing!
Sir are you ok you're a little sweaty and you have a little of . . . what is that? . . .spaghetti? on you.
Looking at all the edits, one cannot help but notice that Matt's dad is wearing the same outfit in every scene. The artist shared that the outfit his dad wears came from one of the early posts they did in the first year. "We thought it would be good to stick with it to make him look even more out of place in the images."
