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.

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!

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

Bill Murray. The Life Aquatic. That's the jest of it. For original paintings, check out Esty.com/shop/jjbarrowsart More art and comedy!? Check out jjbarrows.com :)

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

Based on a true story when a guy who wanted more from me asked what I wanted from him and I blurted out "I WANT WAFFLES!" It's not a bad answer, even out of context! Comedy bit can be found at YouTube.com/jjbarrows

If you've ever struggled with eating issues, found freedom and the ability to laugh at yourself for your oddities, you've experienced recovery! As a former vegan (with an appreciation for the intentions of veganism), there's nothing quite like the guilt free feeling of enjoying a good burger. I'm just as proud to be a recovering vegan as vegans are to be vegan. Also makes a great humorous gift for someone who's always been an avid meat eater. Also it's stand up bit you can find over at YouTube.com/jjbarrows.

Love is hard. Love is beautiful. It's way more than what we think it is. It's easy to say, hard to genuinely live out. Love is made of all the colors... all different, all beautiful, especially when mixed together. When in doubt, just love.

Ugly Betty is a total Betty, inside and out, reminding us of the goodness in humanity and the ability to laugh at ourselves. America Ferrera was the first Latina woman to win a lead actress Emmy in the comedy series Ugly Betty. Given that gay culture, gender, fashion, Hispanic culture, family, work and friendship are all themes in this series, America does a great job representing the beautiful variety that is the United States of America.

Telling a group of twenty-year-youngs how much I love cake when I didn't realize they were not referring to the same kind of cake I was. But I still love cake, like real cake. Comedy bit at drybarcomedy.com/jjb

Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope as Rosie the Riveter. Yes she did. Yes she can!

Two of my favorites... whose advice I've taken way too seriously during quarantine. Time to discipline myself!

Designed by my niece, Mailey Church, who loves unicorns as much as I do and wants to spread the message... You are special!

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

One of my only black and white paintings of one of my favorite comedians, Steve Martin.

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!

A simpler variation on Mailey Church's unicorn design. My niece Mailey is 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!
