Artistico has been an orphan since birth. He lived in a foster home until he was kicked out for being accused of cutting off the heat from the building. Now living on the streets of Ponyville, Art lives day to day on rotten food and dirty water. Art has taken what he's been through and creates works of his own, ranging from happy to sad, funny to stale, and everything in between. The only thing missing from his masterpiece collection is a portrait.
