Title: The First Born Son
Medium: Mixed media on canvas
Size: 36 x 48 in
Artist: Nicholas Britton / Ttonofart
CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE
Statement:
This painting is a blended story of identity, origin, prophecy, past, present, and future.
I grew up wondering and trying to figure out who I was supposed to look like. What I was supposed to be. But there was no blueprint—no mirror, no model. I had to build myself from scratch, creating an identity in silence, out of nothing, shaping a sense of self in solitude.
I was born out of wedlock and kept in secret by a man that instead of showing up, chose to disappear. My existence started with shame that was never mine to carry.
In that isolation, My spirit and intuition grew strong. my intuition ( my Heavenly Father), told me:
You are the son of prophecy.
Because despite being left behind, I rose.
I taught myself mind, body, soul, and spirit.
I loved myself into wholeness. Not holding any hate in my heart,
but I do carry a boundary I’ve earned—and I don’t see it changing.
At the center of this piece is a silhouette that represents many possibilities—
the man who let me down, the big brother I always wished for or the man I’m actively becoming. The silhouette isn’t empty, It’s evolving.
Title: Red Pill or Blue Pill?
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 36 x 48 in
Artist: Nicholas Britton / Ttonofart
SOLD
Statement:
Realizing there’s something bigger than you going on in the world—something moving, watching, shaping life beyond your control—can be a hard pill to swallow. It’s a level of awareness that makes you feel small. Like an ant in the middle of something vast and unexplainable.
And not everyone is ready for that.
Some people would rather not know.
Some people would rather feel safe, even if it’s fake.
So I ask you:
If you had the choice to know the truth about everything—no matter how heavy, how raw, how real—would you take it?
Would you open your eyes and take the red pill?
Or stay in the comfort of ignorance and take the blue?
This painting lives in that question.
Not to answer it for you,
but to ask:
What would you choose?
Title: The Greatest Love
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 36 x 48 in
Artist: Nicholas Britton / Ttonofart
SOLD
Statement:
I once fell in love with someone I met in high school and spent nearly a decade chasing that love. I believed in the dream. I took risks. I made what I thought were the best choices. But sometimes, no matter how smart or careful we try to be, pain still finds us.
That kind of hurt—the kind you never see coming—can break you wide open. And still, it’s necessary. Some pain is meant to shake you to shift from what is no longer serving you.
What followed was solitude. Long hours, days, and months of sitting with myself. Healing. Learning. Forgiving. Being honest about what the parts you I played and the things things I missed, learning what new things i needed and who I was becoming. And eventually, I realized:
If I didn’t go through that, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
That heartbreak wasn’t forever. But the growth was. We move on to practice better things and learn different lessons that shape us into our best selves. When you realize you are the greatest love to yourself and treat yourself with the love you were giving away or looking for, you make choices that reflect and represent you in your purest intent. You attract the kind of love that you need and didn’t know you deserved instead of what you think you wanted. You shed that dead skin/ old self and step into a better version of you. That’s a world championship kind of win.
Title: Still
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 36 x 48 in
Artist: Nicholas Britton / Ttonofart
SOLD
Statement:
This painting was inspired by the song "Reason" by Cleo Sol.
While listening, I pictured myself completely still—one with nature, fully at peace. I imagined swimming at a waterfall, quiet and present, the world paused around me. That’s my natural mood most of the time: calm, still, easygoing.
Water has always been my favorite place to be. It holds me, resets me, and reflects who I really am.
This piece is about that inner peace, that sacred pause.
It’s what it feels like to finally just be.
Title: Simpsons Glore
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 16 x 20 in
Artist: Nicholas Britton / Ttonofart
AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
Statement:
Created during a pivotal moment in my life, Simpsons Galore blends pop culture inspiration from The Simpsons and The Beatles with a deeply personal turning point — a breakup that led me back to myself. In the quiet aftermath, I chose to walk away from pain and patterns without argument or noise, just clarity.
This piece has lived on my wall as a reminder of that self-reclamation — but now it’s time for it to live with someone who truly feels it.
