Artert "Art" or "Arty" Artt was a camper on Total Drama Island, as a member of the Screaming Gophers.

Personality
Art, as an artist, is a misunderstood shy loner who enjoys art and beauty of cartoons. He's been watching them for years. He is a loner, but he values the few friends he has. He also searches for love due to wanting to find something beautiful in his life. He is also very perverted due to being lonely and as a result of a lot of shows he's been watching. He is rather lazy and clumsy, which he's afraid will cost him the game, but he's also quite strategic.

Total Drama Island
Art arrives on the island a bit stressed and excited. Like everyone else, he's disappointed to see the cabins being in much worse condition than the ones being promoted. The moment he puts his feet on the dock he notices there are a lot of pretty girls. One of his drawing on a girl in bikini happens to fall off. Duncan picks it up and mocks him about it, causing him to be ashamed and all girls to be dismayed. When Cody arrives, Art predicts he will get along with him well due to both being Casanova wannabies. He is however worried Cody will try to hit on Heather on whom Art has already managed to get a crush on due to her personality and the way she treated Duncan. He hugs Heather during the group picture, much to her dismay. He is then placed on Screaming Gophers, much to his happiness due to Heather being his teammate. Like Cody, he gets into girls' cabin to hit on Heather, but she throws him away, like Gwen does Cody. He is then afraid of the cockroach in girls' cabin. He is disgusted by Chef Hatchet, but is visibly too scared of him to tell him about it. He is paralyzed in fear on the cliff when seeing what the challenge will be like.

In the following episode, he waits for everyone else to jump first. He is stressed out by Heather and Leshawna's arguing, but states in the confessional that if Heather considers her an enemy, he will too. He is then too afraid to jump, causing a tie for the teams, meaning no team gets the advantage and hopes in the confessional his team wins or he bets he'll be the one going home. It takes him very long to push his grate to Camp Wawanakwa, but he manages to do it before Noah, Harold, Katie and Sadie. He admits he's bad at building so he offers his help by passing a hammer to the others and passing a bucket of water. When his team wins, he runs to hug Owen, Heather, Beth, and Lindsay, even despite being grossed out by the fact he's hugging a naked Owen. During his team's party, he isn't in the hot tub due to there not being enough space and instead stands by drinking a juice with Gwen.

Audition tape
Art records his tape in a very poor quality video. He is surrounded by his drawings and a mess in his room. Some of the drawings present women in bikinis. He begins his audition by saying he's a really original person, which is why he became an artist. He says he's afraid his shyness, laziness, and clumsiness will cause his elimination quickly, but states that fortunately he's also a bit strategic. He then says he wants to enter the show not only for the money, as he believes he won't win it anyway, but also and mostly to find a girlfriend on the show because all girls he knows friendzone him at best. He adds he'd want to improve his social skills and physical skills on the show before tripping and letting the camera drop on him.
