Some characters stay with us long after childhood.
In Oil & Icons, I bring Gumby and Pokey to life in oil and share the process behind the painting—from the first brushstrokes to the finishing details.
Join me in the studio and see how this painting came together.
I’m J. Scott Nicol. I create oil paintings that bring together books, popular culture, and the memories we share.
Every imagined book, painted cover, and carefully chosen detail helps tell a story. My work celebrates the music, characters, and places that become part of our lives.
Through Oil & Icons, I’m opening my studio to share how those paintings take shape. Explore the artwork, watch the process, and get to know the artist behind the brush.
A favorite song. A familiar character. A place that feels like home.
Art can connect us to the stories that make us who we are. Explore my original oil paintings and limited-edition prints to find your connection.
