A graphic design of my original Costa Rica Surf Painting. Inspired by the longboard style of Heather Tahl and the colors and coastline of Costa Rica! Find my original artwork in my Etsy Shop at Etsy.com/shop/jjbarrowsart

After cleaning up a project with tons of glitter, I put it in the toilet and left it for my husband to find. A little later upon discovering the glitter-filled toilet, he asked, "what'd you do, poop magic!?" And then I made this. Inspiration can strike at any time! Nothing like a little glitter litter! (Also, I have since learned you shouldn't put glitter in the toilet... my bad! Poop magic somewhere else!)

For all the 90s kids who were as obsessed with puff paint, Lisa Frank and the Hanson brothers... this is for us! For original paintings, check out Esty.com/shop/jjbarrowsart More art and comedy!? Check out jjbarrows.com :)

Personalize your pup! Commissions on IG at @jjbarrowsart This is Stewie! OB's favorite dog and surf bud!

Rainbows are a result of sun and rain... a good reminder that life is made of both light and dark. May we all have rainbow tears in this life; tears of sorrow when necessary and tears of joy on a regular basis!

Be yourself, AND, be kind. the world needs kindness just as much as authenticity. Facing ourselves looks like acknowledging where we've also fallen short and failed to love the other because we've failed to love ourselves. People need to know they matter, first about themselves, so they will genuinely believe that about others. Do the work to be true to who you are, and do the work to address your own resentment and anger and feelings of inadequacy so you have nothing left but love and kindness to give... to yourself, and to others.

At 35, my sister called me up and abruptly asked, "JJ, did you know PA Ingalls was hot!?" Remembering our favorite childhood show, I quickly googled Pa Ingalls (Michael Landon), and sure enough, I realized not only was Laura Ingalls' dad a hottie, but it also meant we were officially aging. That's how you know you're getting older, when the dad of your favorite TV show is the hot one! I love me some Pa Ingalls! Tag your PA INGALLS art on IG with @jjbarrowsart... I love seeing who else out there grew up with this fam... and eventually fell in love with good ol' Pa! Find more fun stuff at jjbarrows.com

She's a colorful comedian, boss lady, self-proclaimed hard knock wife... she's Ali Wong! More original art: @jjbarrowsart

To be an artist who loves color is to love Frida Kahlo. "I paint my own reality."

I'm Feeling' It... the Intro bit to his Wild and Crazy Guy album, Steve Martin is certainly one of the great!

Burt Macklin, FBI, is on the case! For original painting, check out Esty.com/shop/jjbarrowsart More Art and Comedy!? Check out jjbarrows.com :)

Based on my original painting of the first original cast member who (in my opinion) made Saturday Night Live what it is... Gilda Radner! Original painting available at @jjbarrowsart on Instagram.

Whales are my favorite animal, I love painting them, knowing I'll never fully capture their magnificence. Oh whale!

Breakfast time! Even Ron knows it's the best meal of the day! For original paintings, check out Esty.com/shop/jjbarrowsart More Art and Comedy!? Check out jjbarrows.com :)

I've always wanted to make my own hometown shirt. After painting a bunch of sea turtles this year and realizing my hometown is home to where to many hatch, BOOM! With a lot of color and love for my blessed isle, this design is now available in two options: front and back with small front logo, and front only with large logo! (check out Front and Back Pawleys Island tee shirt).

My favorite boss I never had! Breakfast time! Even Ron knows it's the best meal of the day! For original paintings, check out Esty.com/shop/jjbarrowsart More art and comedy!? Check out jjbarrows.com :)

I love Carol Burnett, but I admit, I didn't grow up on the original show... I grew up on the reruns! It still counts! You can't get rid of a classic!

After being a barista for nearly 10 years and an artist even longer, I needed something that captured the world of coffee artists. After all, coffee is an art in and of itself. Whether your career is in coffee or it's just your side hustle, this is for the artist in all of us.

In honor of my hometown!! Down by the creek bank by the ole holler log (anybody!?)

I grew up in Pawleys Island, South Carolina where sea turtles come and lay their eggs on the beaches. The babies have to learn to make their own way to the ocean. It's tempting to want to help them, but the journey from the sand to the ocean strengthens and prepares them for ocean wildlife. All the beach houses on the island know... lights out! Sea turtles dig the dark!

From an original painting I did of the killer whale...You'll be killin' it with this killer whale tee shirt!

A patchwork of waves and color! 💜

I love waves. I love color. This is that and that is this.

Inspired by Mister Rogers saying "some people are fancy on the inside, some people are fancy on the outside." This may be a simple pattern to some, but it reflects when I'm feeling fancy on the inside! Bonus that I get to wear it on the outside.

Carol Burnett. One of the best! For those of you who grew up watching the original show, no reruns necessary to appreciate her genius!!

I love puns. I love rainbows. That's the jest of it!

The world is insane. Take heart, the best the yet to be. More original art: @jjbarrowsart

Another design by my niece, Mailey Church, who's getting to learn way younger than I did that she can grow up to be an artist (if she wants to)! How do I know? Because she already is one! This is to encourage all kids out there to keep doing what they love... you are the only you there will ever be, that's pretty magical!
