Matthew Mahon

Shaman, dream catcher, Matthew Mahon is The Total Package. Winning local pie eating contests in Midland, Matthew was able to earn a small sum of money, and bought his first bicycle. He cycled his way to Austin, Texas, where he found a job as a construction worker, and perfected his infamous cat-calls. Craving artistic release, he became a talented etch-a-sketcher, doing portraits for 5 bucks a pop, which he spent foolishly on bootleg armadillo meat and moonshine. While working, Matthew discovered his next passion, the camera. Exhilarated, Matthew grabbed his bicycle and took off cycling with camera slung about his neck, and never looked back. After 27 days, he suddenly stopped when a young girl with jet black hair stood in his path, and pointed at him ominously. Aware that this little girl was causing him to experience an artistic epiphany, Matthew let out a rawkus yell, threw off his clothes, and collapsed on the ground losing consciousness. From that moment on, Matthew Mahon was determined to become the nation's most famous cycling photographer.
