Paintmonkey Studios

My friends and I wanted to tease a little something coming soon from the Paintmonkey! Stay tuned!

I'm still creating, honest! Mostly I'm over on Substack now! (Usually) four posts a week with regular features, new cartoons, and other fun stuff.

John "The Paintmonkey" Trotter | Substack Artist, illustrator, cartoonist. Fight fascism with me, won't you?

Since Meta just sees no actual value in artists work (but keeps stealing it...find me over on Bluesky and Cara.

Since Meta INSISTS our work is "overvalued" but continues to scrape the hell out of it, I am weighing my options to stop posting my "worthless" work here at all. But right now, Bluesky and Cara are very much anti-AI and anti-scraping, so you can find me over there.

A little sketch fun.

I got blocked creatively for awhile and even doing little sketchbook scribblings was hard. I was finally able to do this little guy and I actually really liked him. * * * #Paintmonkey #ThePaintmonkeyPresents #ThePaintmonkey #Dailysketch #ink #inkdrawing #drawing #drawingoftheday #DailyDrawing #inksketch #sketch #sketchbook #sketchoftheday #dailyart #lineart #cartoon #penandink #ballpointpen #alligator #gator
