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.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Pifferooni.
Can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. You can include as little or as much detail as you’d like.
I’ve enjoyed drawing since I was little but in recent years have honed my skills to develop my personal style & voice. My favorite part of creating is being alone with my own thoughts and getting a good flow. I mostly draw and write poetry, but I also paint, collage, and sew.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Smooth from the perspective that I have continuously enjoyed creating artwork, but I haven’t always known what I’d like to create and still don’t. Sometimes projects don’t work out, get damaged, or don’t get the interest I’d have liked, but you win a few, you lose a lot. I don’t have much focus on building my social media presence because I’d rather use those efforts to create more artwork.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I enjoy illustrating the whimsically absurd and writing poetry about consequence-based justice. I think it’s important to analyze interpersonal relationships and their impacts for greater understanding and pattern recognition. For the longest time, it really bothered me that it seemed people were getting away with treating others terribly. In time 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.
Rarely do I have a set plan in mind for the finished product, as I freehand almost everything and like to draw whatever flows. I hope to connect with viewers via making others happy and/or feel less alone in their experiences.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
I illustrate my genuine thoughts and feelings and don’t shoehorn them into whatever I think will get the most social media traction. The most important factor in my work is authenticity and that I enjoy its creation.
