Had some fun with my seafood art series. “Shark shirt” was too obvious…

Got our fill of clams this weekend in Mystic at #costellosclamshack, then had to burn it off with a run. Picked up a cool hat at #trovemystic then filled up on dounts from #youngbuns. Good things usually come with a cost, and mine was a "Whole Belly." Thanks to Christina and Rick for hosting us for a sunset river cruise on "No Plan"! Made for a pretty perfect weekend!

It’s been a while for a post,
but here’s the latest shirt design. Had some fun with it mixing up my parents favorite SoCo Manhattan, garnished with a cherry. Shrimpy’s got to have a little fun shaking it up out there on the beach. Happy Summah!

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!
