Had some good feedback at Artworks Westfield this weekend. Sold a bunch, gave some people a laugh. It was fun. To one person I had to explain what was going on in "The Search for Hockey." I said, "it`s a penguin searching for hockey, get it? It likes hockey...and has set off from its home to find it." Perplexed, I showed them my "Still Life Apple." Anyway, the Lobster was a hit. Sold my last print, but here it is living on. Ride on Lobster, ride on! hambonepicklebottom.threadless.com

Never tell me the odds
May the 4th be with you! "Ham and Chewy"
And yes I like the "Space Opera" genre, so I mashed up my own. I say it`s for the kids, but selfishly, I like creating these drawings for myself as a kind of stress reliever. And since I spend my entire day on the computer, I use pencils, watercolor, and ink so I can actually feel some paper. Nothing beats art done with love. So check out the latest...link in bio.

Welcome to Hambone Picklebottom’s Art Emporium with fantastic works by Artist Joe Bessette.
Joe is a local Westfield Artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Educated as a painter, illustrator and designer, Joe’s current creative path focuses on whimsical themes which his children have named “Hambone Picklebottom”, a humorous and amusing mishmash of creatures and their desire to live a day in our shoes. His latest theme “Let Them Eat Cake” focuses on the simple celebration of noshing on the most wonderful of confections. Past themes have taken the viewer to another world with a “Space Opera”, motived exercise with “The Active Cow”, and given the alphabet a boost with “A-Z.” Oh yes, and then there’s also the still life work. “Shrimp” was drawn for his daughter who can’t eat enough of it. More can be seen throughout this website!
Joe is the owner and Creative Director of Get Set Marketing in Springfield, MA. His wife and children have been supportive in his creative endeavors, even though they haven’t seen the bills for his art supplies. Thanks for stopping by to check out the work!
