“The Rolls Royce of Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles” -Smithsonian Magazine, 1990
Bill Bell paints with a joyful sense of mischief, turning everyday life into a playful parade of pets, people, and pure delight. A self-taught artist (and former musician!), Bill swapped records for paintbrushes in 1982 and never looked back. These Bill Bell puzzles capture the energy, humor, and whimsical chaos of his vibrant acrylics—each scene bursting with color and charming absurdity. Whether it’s cats causing trouble or towns buzzing with quirky characters, his work invites you to dive in, explore every corner, and revel in the joyful madness of it all.
