Home after retina surgery (and still trying to read, screw doctor’s orders) and this made me laught so hard I saw stars. I give it a 4-stars-and-hand-me-the damn-vicodin rating. Mainly because there are just not enough thumbs.
Crappy sketch of random old celeb: Free
6 bottles of asst acrylic paints from Michael’s (6 x $.85): $5.10
Cheap nylon bristle paintbrush scavenged from kid’s watercolor set: Free
Old vinyl record of the Chipmunks Christmas from thrift store: $.25
Craptastic “artwork” created while high on hash brownies: $130
and when I say original I mean someone actually wasted their time on this and is asking money for it. instead of say being printed in a factory(where they would of hired a designer who could draw).
Wait, come to think of it, there weren’t any jews or blacks or gays in Mayberry. Barney had a gun….. Maybe the peaceful little white-bread town had a dark dark secret….
Did they copy the hairdo from a different picture of Don Knotts? It looks like it’s a side shot of a hairdo on a front shot of Don.
Also, they don’t show enough “pajamas” to have to identify them as such. They could’ve just left it alone for us to either identify as a shirt of pajamas.
Those are my only complaints. Everything else in the painting is extremely accurate and flawless.
you know what this always reminds me off here with the comments, that TV series were a man and some robots are in space and have to watch those awful movies, i love that show and i am always careful to put any liquid down
What makes a person wake up one morning and think ‘Today, I am going to paint a picture of Don Knotts in pajamas on an old 45, then sell it on etsy to earn money’?
Or
Someone is trying to replacate something they saw somebody in the universe had made that was mega fantastic and when they finished theirs all they could come up with was ‘Don Knotts in pajamas’.
“I am a painter of fine art.” So says his profile bio thing.

fine art
Something requiring highly developed techniques and skills, as in He’s turned lying into a fine art , or The contractor excels in the fine art of demolition . This term alludes to the fine arts , such as music, painting, and sculpture, which require both skill and talent. It is now often used to describe anything that takes skill to do. [First half of 1800s]

Don’s eyeballs are taking two different elevators.

Side note: I am watching The Fifth Element RIGHT NOW. Your icon makes me want to watch it whenever I see you comment, and now that time is at hand.

I might be too morbid and in need of a Etsy cupcake enema but wouldn’t this record art work with Tupac, Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye?!
August 6, 2012 at 4:57 pm
I must have this in my life.
August 6, 2012 at 4:57 pm
I am craftarded and could have painted a better portrait!!!
It hurts my soul
August 6, 2012 at 4:57 pm
Heil Barney!
August 6, 2012 at 5:01 pm
He skipped #4 and went straight to the Fife Reich.
August 6, 2012 at 8:01 pm
So now it’s Don Knottzi?
August 6, 2012 at 8:06 pm
You’ve got to nip it in the Bund!
August 7, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Thug Fife.
August 6, 2012 at 4:58 pm
Looks more like Hitler had a stroke:-p
August 6, 2012 at 8:10 pm
And shaved off his mustache before “biting the bullet”.
August 6, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Can I get Opie painted on a 45?
August 6, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Judging by the example provided, probably not.
August 6, 2012 at 5:46 pm
You may be able to get something that resembles Carrot Top mid-sneeze, though.

This one’s a “thinker”. It took me a few minutes to put together the mental image, but it works.
I approve.
August 6, 2012 at 5:00 pm
It looks like SJP is starring in a remake of Desperately Seeking Susan. In the new version, Susan dies of a hideous chin melanoma.
August 6, 2012 at 5:03 pm
I see more Fred Armisen as Prince in the SNL sketch about Beyoncè’s baby http://chimovement.com/nbcs-snl-skit-of-jay-z-beyonce-feat-ll-cool-j-prince-bon-iver-nicki-minaj-taylor-swift/

When did Stevie Wonder take up painting?
August 6, 2012 at 5:08 pm
One eye looking at you, the other eye looking for you.
August 6, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Let’s see.

Yup. I’m in the wrong fucking racket.
August 6, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Personally, I’d rather have the Chipmunks Christmas on vinyl…
August 7, 2012 at 10:17 am
You might still be able to play the B side.
August 6, 2012 at 5:30 pm
awkwaaarrrd placement WTF and some crazy eyes to go with it… seen worse, it’s at least original
August 6, 2012 at 5:38 pm
and when I say original I mean someone actually wasted their time on this and is asking money for it. instead of say being printed in a factory(where they would of hired a designer who could draw).
August 6, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Wow. He looks more like Steve Buscemi than ever!
August 6, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Wait, come to think of it, there weren’t any jews or blacks or gays in Mayberry. Barney had a gun….. Maybe the peaceful little white-bread town had a dark dark secret….
August 6, 2012 at 6:06 pm
I’m sure there’s a record of it somewhere.
August 6, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Oh, nobody talks of such things in this town.
*icy stare*
August 6, 2012 at 7:54 pm
It all got started in 33 but 45 saw the end.
August 6, 2012 at 9:14 pm
Not so. It got started waaaay back in ’72. Then a new group took over in ’33, and led to the later ’45 regime.
(Of course, I’m OLD, but I had tons of 72-speed records when I was a kiddo.)
August 6, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Psst… you mean 78…
August 7, 2012 at 9:45 am
No, sorry my friends, it started waaaaaay back in ’16, but it was a very, very slow start.
August 6, 2012 at 6:02 pm

August 6, 2012 at 6:08 pm
shirt “or” pajamas. grr.
August 6, 2012 at 9:09 pm
First way works, too.
August 9, 2012 at 7:30 am
Looks like Floyd got a little carried away (didn’t he always!) and overcompensated when trying to even out Barney’s sideburns.
August 6, 2012 at 6:05 pm
Finally! That mark on Aaron Neville’s face explained. Now if someone could explain his rediculous faux-vibrato voice affectation.
August 6, 2012 at 6:08 pm
p.s. I thought Don Knotts was Cab Calloway at first glance.
August 6, 2012 at 6:37 pm
Andy, can I have that one bullet now, please?
August 6, 2012 at 6:47 pm
I am digging it and there are some other really fun ones in the same shop! You have to appreciate an artist who doesn’t take himself too seriously.

The Aaron Neville one make me laugh out loud and scare my cat.
August 7, 2012 at 4:06 am
Aaron Neville actually looks better now…
August 6, 2012 at 8:12 pm
Wow, SJP looks about 60 in that picture.
August 6, 2012 at 9:28 pm
That’s because it’s actually Glenn Close.
August 6, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Nice try, but no banana.
August 7, 2012 at 2:22 pm
I thought it was Bette Midler.
August 6, 2012 at 9:51 pm
you know what this always reminds me off here with the comments, that TV series were a man and some robots are in space and have to watch those awful movies, i love that show and i am always careful to put any liquid down
August 6, 2012 at 10:00 pm
…with apologies to MysticAlpha.
August 6, 2012 at 11:16 pm
IT’S THE DREADED BLACK SPOT…. (i think i just dated myself a little and its not quite proper placement.. feh) sorry commence the thumbs down.
August 7, 2012 at 5:36 am
Why pajamas? Don Knotts pin-up?
August 7, 2012 at 5:42 am
What makes a person wake up one morning and think ‘Today, I am going to paint a picture of Don Knotts in pajamas on an old 45, then sell it on etsy to earn money’?
Or
Someone is trying to replacate something they saw somebody in the universe had made that was mega fantastic and when they finished theirs all they could come up with was ‘Don Knotts in pajamas’.
I would have made the pajamas a bit jazzier!!
August 7, 2012 at 9:30 am
He’s painted on a 33. If he were on a 45, that hole below his nose would be much bigger…GOATSE! OMG, SOMEONE SHOULD PAINT GOATSE ON A 45!!!
Sorry for the caps lock. The idea came to me while my finger was on the Shift key and I lost control.
August 7, 2012 at 10:08 am
Goatse is OK for the A-Side but what about the B-side?
August 7, 2012 at 11:39 am
So happy to find someone who even knows “A side” and “B side”!
As for the B side…Goatse: The Inside Story!
August 7, 2012 at 2:46 pm
I would have preferred an 8 track but I didn’t want to show my age!!
August 7, 2012 at 3:57 pm
I don’t care for the Don Knotts portrait, but the Christian Bale version is awesome. It would look great on a bicycle seat!
August 7, 2012 at 7:19 pm
I feel so oddly proud that I was able to predict every one of those.
