Synopsis[]
This is a collection of paintings, a one-man bestiary of monsters, weirdos, beasties, and anthropomorphs, all painted in Furie's meticulous brand of representational surrealism.
Furie's cheerful, anthropomorphic comics' character, Pepe the Frog, became a meme that was appropriated by hate groups (as seen in the documentary Feels Good Man, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.) Furie's recent paintings reflect this experience. This is a showcase for an unsettling menagerie; creatures seem to be hiding their true intentions. Furie is plumbing darker depths in these works, despite the paintings' inviting colors and friendly cartoon iconography.
Characters[]
Fefe, the main frog from the book 'Mindviscosity,' is representational art of the anthropomorphic comic character Pepe the Frog, created by Matt Furie, which became the legendary internet meme we all know today. Fefe has deep roots tied to the legendary frog Pepe, with Furie's recent paintings reflecting the experience Pepe went through in becoming an internet meme.

Praise[]
"Featuring a luxurious puffy cover complete with trippy holofoil title lettering, Mindviscosity is an art book... in which a colorful, playful, proliferative pop-culture-fueled vision is edged with humor and darkness in equal and uneasy measure." — New York Times Book Review
"Matt Furie's art comes from a mix of child-like enchantment and momentary adult situations." — The Believer
Fefe and the others.
"Clearly, Fantagraphics, Furie's publisher, want to make the case for the craftsmanship behind the humor. Mindviscosity is a treat for Furie fans." — The Book Beat
"Humorous and vibrant..." — Hi-Fructose
