Billytoon is a doodle from artist Darren Boerckels sketch book. Created in 1989. Billytoon got his name from Darren childhood best friend Billy. Billy was an amazing guitarist at a young age. As we grew older and started the club scene in the 80's, Billy had a hair style that resembled billytoon hair. So, upon sketching the first little music note guy, Darren looked at the doodle and said "Billytoon".

He first appeared as a series of paintings. showing them at the Art Expo in the Jacob Javits center in 1989. Since then Billytoon has been painted on the walls of a hamptons niteclub. Became a main focal point in a pediatricians office in Rockville Center, N.Y. 

Darren Boerckel is working on a  New series of paintings and is offering signed prints of some of the old classics. and of course he is available in cards, t shirts and tote bags. With much more to come in the New year.
