Reddit's favorite non-sh*tty sh*tty painter has branched out to other social networks.

The artist, known to most of the Internet as "Sh*tty Watercolour," but whose actual human name is Hector Janse van Rensburg, has been sloth-ifying random Facebook users and messaging them the finished work. He's shared several of the portraits on Reddit.

Entering his "sloth period" in 2013, the artist visits social sites to paint company employees and users. After arguably taking over Reddit with his hilarious creations, he began sloth-verting Twitter employees in early April.

He's currently created 50 sloth portraits of Facebook employees and users, even getting the elusive Zuckerberg Like. Apparently the CEO has just as much of a sloth obsession as the rest of the world.

"Doing these 50 plus portraits has got sloths out of my system a bit, so I might take a break from them for a while," van Rensburg tells Mashable. "Having said that, I am sitting at my desk with about a hundred sloth paintings on my walls and desk, a 'sloth with a pearl earring' custom doll based on one of my paintings by my side, and doing an interview about how I spent the last week painting sloths, so I think I have to accept it is part of who I am."

With more projects on the way, van Rensburg and his not-so-sh*tty sloths show no sign of slowing down.

"Maybe one day Facebook will ask me to be a slothist in residence," he says. "Three toes crossed."
