The Story

This print is part of “Adultitis Fighters,” a series of paintings by Jason Kotecki featuring real and fictional characters who serve as role models in the fight against Adultitis.

Buddy the Elf, played by Will Ferrell in the movie Elf, shows us how to embrace life with joy, creativity, and unrelenting optimism. Buddy is unapologetically himself and marvels at the simplest pleasures. He has a knack for breaking the monotony of adult life, improvising solutions and injecting fun into routine tasks. He regularly spreads joy through acts of kindness. Despite being surrounded by skeptical adults, Buddy doesn’t let their negativity diminish his joy or mission. He models resilience in preserving one’s childlike spirit.

“Does somebody need a hug?”

“There’s room for everyone on the Nice List.”

“We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup.”

“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.”

“I just like to smile. Smiling’s my favorite.”

“Treat every day like Christmas.”
