One Donut Later, He’s Demanding a Title

Hey Reader,

His compressed and hunched body may seem grotesque to some. His cryptic scurry might seem like some horrible monster in a scary movie. To me, there was beauty and inspiration. He knows no different. It is all he has known. And after it all, he is simply a playful, fun-loving creature of the world. No more, no less.

By now, you may have heard of Jimothy, the sweet raccoon hanging in the neighborhood streets of Seattle. Jimothy lives with short-spine syndrome. With some backyard low-grade footage, he playfully scurries across the screen like a mythical cryptic. Immediately he took the internet world by storm, peaked our curiousity, and has melted our hearts. Jimothy is a testament to nature’s perseverance, beauty in all forms, and an extension of humanity’s wonderful ability for empathy.

As an advocate for the downtrodden and lover of raccoons, this wonderful muse is right up my alley (trash cans included!) I was immediately inspired to celebrate Jimothy in all his glory, and blessed him with my signature donut halo. I do need help titling the painting. I have a few ideas rolling around in my head, but wanted to see what you could come up with!

Scroll down below to check out the fresh-out-of-the-oven painting of the unforgettable Jimothy. You can tap the images for more details and to purchase this piece. A portion of proceeds from the sell of this original painting will go to the local Food Bank of your choosing.
