  • Who’s Matty Matheson?

    I’ve been fasting since Monday so it’s only natural I start watching foodie content on youtube to torture myself and I came across Matty Matheson. I’ve seen dude for years online and in that hulu show, the bear. Never dug too deep on the guy but I like his style and tattoos. 

    That’s kind of myself when I see someone interesting, I see them and just watch from afar for a bit to see if it’s just an act or if they’re the real thing. Matheson has been popping up and coming across as this rugged dude that knows how to cook/actor/internet personality and messes with motorcycles.

     So yesterday finally I typed his name into the ol’ YouTube search bar and a living proof interview popped up. Instantly I was like I got to see this! Living Proof hasn’t failed me yet when it comes to introducing me to interesting people and if they’re during an interview with Matheson this guy must be real and have a hell of a story. And for sure it was! Peep this.

    Neckface w. Living Proof New York

    Neckface sat down with Living Proof New York, a podcast out of New York that interviews different artists and skateboarders. They seem pretty raw and real, asking genuine questions with minimal set up. Nothing feels overly produced but there’s a genuine curiosity for whoever is sitting across the table. Neckface sat down with them a while ago and it made for good conversation.

    Neckface has been around in skateboarding since forever. I don’t remember when I was first introduced to him (via online video) I just thought he was just some skate homie around thrasher that people liked. He was funny never taking anything too serious. Reminded me of some people I know in my personal life. Eventually I found out he was an artist. When you see his art, it’s uniquely him. I haven’t seen anything like it. 

    I haven’t really seen him sit down with anyone and really talk about his origin story. What got him into art and graffiti? Influences? Stuff like that. But my favorite question he answered was, “how does he balance his passion for art as a job?” I think he gives the best answer I’ve seen so far!

    It’s a good watch, check it out!
