Hi, I’m Kyle Bonner aka b.0ne.r.
I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design and Minor in Philosophy with a focus on Art and Media.

 

As absurd as it is, the name b.0ne.r  is a meditation on humility and meme for the synchronistic alignment of my personal philosophies to the teachings and practices of Bön Buddhism.

It all evolved from an embarrassing nickname earned in the fourth grade, to a point of pride and reflection gifted through circumstance, language, and spirit. Oddly enough, the name echoes more meaning than I ever believed possible. Aside from the very essential role the phallic phrase plays in the perpetuation of human consciousness, the name to me is symbolic of ego, spirit, strength, and truth. 

To embrace this absurdity at a glance seems like a point for potential “embarrassment” as an artistic identity, an act of rebellion even, to all that’s professional in the “oh-so-serious” design world. In truth it keeps me humble and provides a sentiment of lightheartedness as it in turn reminds you just how hard I work at delivering the best experiences possible while still having fun. 

This website was made for you to further explore and support my artistic journey, and to experience visual performances made in collaboration with curated works from the Visionary Art Community. Enjoy!
