Ebony Bones

Looking like a Murakami cartoon character come to life, British self-taught singer and actress Ebony Bones (née Thomas) is set to be this year’s performer for Art Basel Miami Beach’s annual Art Loves Music concert on the beach. The colourfully costumed “jungle-punk” rocker, who has the concert posted on the tour schedule of her MySpace page, seems a perfect fit for the arty crowd—not only are her hand-made stage costumes and sets outrageously creative, Bones displays a deep love of Frida Kahlo, going so far as to draw unibrows on her female band members in homage to the Mexican artist.
