We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Pifferooni Peppescooni. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Pifferooni below.

Pifferooni , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

It really bothered me that it seemed people were getting away with abusing and betraying others. I’ve realized that’s often not the case, because in the same way they were focused on the short term benefits, I was focused on the short term lack of consequence. Treating people badly reinforces the type of person they are, and causes lasting damage to their relationships and opportunities that might not be realized for years to come. These themes are frequently the focus of my work.

I work through complex emotions via the challenge of tersely expressing them artistically. After having it in the back of my mind for some time, I’ll suddenly have a moment where a brief phrase sums up a situation, allowing me to release it from my concern.

Pifferooni , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My art focuses on the whimsically absurd and consequence based justice, although any feeling I’m experiencing can be the basis. I’ve enjoyed drawing since I was a kid but in recent years have honed my skills to develop a personal style and voice.

The mediums I usually engage in consist of poetry, free-hand drawing, and painting, although I also enjoy collaging and sewing. The tag line for my shop is “stuff and things” because it’s absurdly nondescript and doesn’t denote any specific art form. I offer original drawings, paintings, keychains, stickers, and occassionally unique sewing projects for sale.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

Achieving an isolated flow state and seeing my work come to completion. I also greatly enjoy packaging orders myself because it means someone liked my work enough to want to purchase it.

With all the art you can consume for free on social media (including my own), it’s a huge compliment. I hope to connect with viewers via making others happy and/or feel less alone in their experiences.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.

Despite social media, I don’t do artwork for money or attention. I do it because it’s internally rewarding. I love expressing myself this way and losing track of time while working on my artwork. Sales and compliments are nice but they’re not the driving force for what I do, so even in their absence, I would continue as I am.
