Fall in love with originals on paper, and fine,
lithographic limited-edition prints created by the only artist
allowed by Charles Schulz to use the PEANUTS characters as
subject matter. This body of work is so uplifting and joyous
that you will smile. Critically acclaimed museum exhibits
at the Louve, Tokyo, Milan and Los Angeles have launched this
artist's career to new heights.
Bursting with dazzling color, expressionistic imagination,
and in-your-face proportions, Tom Everhart's paintings are
the culmination of 20 years of close association with cartoonist
Charles M. Schulz and the PEANUTS™
phenomenon.

The only fine artist authorized to artistically
render the PEANUTS™ characters, Everhart had been
a successful painter of large-scale landscapes before being
asked to render drawings of the PEANUTS™
characters for a commercial project in 1980. With no background
in cartooning, Everhart prepared for the task by projecting
Schulz's comic strips onto a 25-foot wall in his studio
for closer examination. He was stunned to discover that,
blown up larger than life, Schulz's pen strokes closely
connected to his own painting style. His immediate fascination
with Schulz's "line" - and his remarkable ability to capture
it with his own distinct interpretation - impressed Schulz
and this was the beginning of their beautiful friendship
and collaboration.

In
1988, Everhart had the vision of taking the lovable PEANUTS™
gang to a new level of art - what one commentator would
later dub "Expresstoonism." Animazing Gallery has many original
works on paper as well as the fabulous limited edition hand-pulled
lithographs that you see here. These pieces are guaranteed
to light up your life. You might need more than just one.
Each piece is signed by the artist.
