Who's the Artist of this portrait?

Hint most of you loved his work and miss his genius.
He's still alive though.

you are not that far side off.

eom

I'm asking about the artist.... so no newtie

a quote:

“It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept.”

“Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?”

Bill Watterson?

I sure miss his art.

Does this art look familiar? It might seem especially so if you’re a fan of “Calvin and Hobbes,” the beloved comic strip that sledded off of the comics page in 1995.

This painting — by “Calvin and Hobbes” creator Bill Watterson — is the first new art from him that his syndicate has seen in the 16 subsequent years, say executives with Universal Uclick and its parent company, Andrews McMeel. The artwork is of the character Petey Otterloop from Richard Thompson’s comic strip “Cul de Sac.”

“The strip depicts all sorts of moments that ring true with regard to childhood,” the long-reclusive Watterson tells Comic Riffs, “but I’d say Petey is a truly original insight.”

The artwork — 6”-by-8” oil on board — is Watterson’s contribution to the Team Cul de Sac fundraising project for Parkinson’s research.

something about the eyes remind me of Calvin :)

thanks for posting this.

Hard to believe it's been 20 years. I miss it, too.

That's who it is. :)

ooops...guess he is dead though, huh..

The overbite reminds me of Matt Groening cartoons. I'm going to guess Matt Groening.
