A portion of all proceeds of Sukoshi Buta merchandise go towards helping pigs in need.
From American Mini Pig Association Rescue Advocates:
Pigasso prints are here! Pigasso prints are here!!! Pigasso, the beloved painter of SNOUT ART is forever in our hearts. He touched many in his too short life. As a true philanthropist Pigasso has been given the opportunity to continue helping pigs in need. Kevin Gottuso of Pigxel Art painted this gorgeous memorial of Pigasso. High quality 8 x 10 inch prints are offered for $14.99 + shipping with all proceeds going to AMPA Rescue Advocates.
If Pigasso touched your heart, if you enjoyed his art, or if you just LOVE fabulous pig art, give yourself the gift of supporting AMPA Rescue Advocates in our quest to help pigs, rescues and sanctuaries across the nation.
Thank you Kevin, for all you have done to immortalize our cherished Pigasso.

This year’s birthday cake was a mix of Squid Girl and Splatoon, which turned out to be super fun!
I colored the final drawing using watercolor paint on a separate sheet and combined the color and line art in Photoshop. The pig on the left is colored after our first pig, Yoshi, and the pig on the right is colored after our second pig, Ponyo. Both have passed, so it was nice to remember them in this way. I wanted a suitably 80’s logo to match the theme, so after playing around with multiple ideas I settled upon a Back to the Future style logo. It is available to purchase on RedBubble. Click on the image for the full version of the T-Shirt artwork.
This is the final digital artwork with a couple of tweaks and color edits. I ‘borrowed’ a copy of Picasso’s signature and altered it to read “Pigasso” as a final touch. I’m so sorry for your loss, Stephanie. I hope I could make a dark time a little brighter.
This is an old t-shirt design that never got made into a t-shirt. I recently revised the artwork (to reflect my signature pig design) and uploaded it to RedBubble, where you can, in fact, finally order it on a t-shirt or whatever you’d like. This was in india ink, but later converted to vector line art and colored in Adobe Illustrator.
I designed this for my wife’s running team at the Mudderella. She wanted my signature pigs decked out in 80’s gear. This is the line art, I will be doing the watercolor separately. Done in india ink with a #3 Rosemary & Co Sable brush (my favorite brush, and a Christmas gift from my wife).
I designed this for a friend. He wanted a skull kraken in a less cartoony style than I usually work in. This was done with india ink markers, instead of my usual brush technique. I thought it would make it grittier. The final image was used on a shirt design for his running team at the Tough Mudder.
A little 2″ canvas (with equally adorable miniature easel), presented to Amelia today on her last day of school / first day of summer. A cartoon version of Amelia and Zelda, drawn with India ink marker and crayons.
