Little Dog Art Studios

Little Dog Art Studios Show the world how much you love your pet, reduce stress through laughter, and live longer with art. Tim Colomer is a U.S.

Marine Corps veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and professional artist whose journey into art began as a form of healing. After serving as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician, Tim turned to painting as a way to process the unseen scars of war — PTSD and traumatic brain injury. What started as therapy quickly evolved into a passion and a profession. Blending classical techniques with raw

emotion, Tim creates work that honors his military background while celebrating life, love, and resilience. From expressive portraits and historical themes to joyful pet paintings, his art reflects a deep sense of purpose and connection. Today, through his studio, Little Dog Art Studios, Tim shares his journey to help others find beauty, meaning, and healing through art.

Sometimes I make a painting just to mess with the image with a digital tool - sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn’t. This one works. I like it. If you like it, tell me. I may send a free digital download. 💣

Day Two.

The creature is starting to grow legs.

I’ve always had a strange attachment to Godzilla, and I’m not entirely sure why. Maybe it goes back to my first time stationed in Japan in the mid-1990s. Godzilla was everywhere—movie posters, toys, statues, advertisements. He wasn’t just a movie monster; he felt woven into the culture itself.

As an American kid, it reminded me a little of how we grew up with icons like Freddy Krueger, Jason, or Michael Myers. Except Godzilla seemed bigger than that. He wasn’t just a character. He was a symbol.

So here I am, years later, drawing Godzilla as a bomb squad technician.

Maybe it’s the absurdity of it. Maybe it’s because both Godzilla and EOD technicians spend their time dealing with things that can level cities. Either way, I’m having a lot of fun with this one.

The charcoal is finally starting to come together, the suit is taking shape, and the creature is slowly crawling off the paper.

With a little luck, this drawing will be finished by the end of the day.

I’m a Godzilla fan. I have been since I lived in Japan the first time in 1994. So what’s the size of the cross section of Bomb Techs/Godzilla/Art Fans… follow this journey. It’s going to be sick!

Tonight reminded me why I create.

At the inaugural BEARS Etc. Art Gala, I had the privilege of creating this armadillo live during the event. Guests watched a blank surface slowly become a story — line by line, shadow by shadow.

By the end of the night, this piece had found its home for $500.

My original painting The School of Africa also found a collector, selling for $4,000 in support of an incredible cause.

Art has always been more than decoration to me. It’s connection. It’s conservation. It’s storytelling. It’s taking a moment, an animal, an emotion — and giving someone a reason to stop and feel something.

A huge thank you to BEARS Etc. and everyone who supported artists and wildlife tonight.

The Pause Before the Paddle

There’s a moment every surfer knows.

Before the paddle out.
Before the first wave.
Before the ocean decides what kind of day it’s going to be.

You stand there and look.

You study the horizon.
You watch the sets roll through.
You search for patterns in the water and wonder where the easy path out might be.

But if you’re paying attention, something else happens.

For just a few seconds, the strategy fades away.

The sky seems bigger.
The ocean seems endless.
The noise in your head gets quiet.

And all that’s left is gratitude.

Gratitude for another sunrise.
Another chance to be healthy enough to paddle out.
Another opportunity to stand in front of something far bigger than yourself and simply appreciate it.

This painting isn’t really about surfing.

It’s about that feeling.

The feeling of standing on the edge of possibility, taking a deep breath, and appreciating the abundance God placed before us.

Then, with equal parts humility and excitement, stepping forward into the unknown.
