A New View for
the “Peanuts” Gang
Tom Everhart is the only artist ever authorized to use the “Peanuts” comic
strip characters created by Charles Schulz in fine art paintings and lithographs.
A long-time friend of Schulz, Everhart discovered while experimenting with images
of oversized “Peanuts” characters projected on a studio wall that the
cartoonist’s pen strokes amazingly translated into perfect painterly brush
strokes. Convinced that the stylistic renditions of his characters were so true
to form, Schulz gave Everhart his blessings and a new look for the “Peanuts”
cast was born.

Everhart, a native of Washington, D.C, began his career painting nature-related
scenes. As a freelance project he began working on drawing special projects for
Schulz and United Media (Schulz’ cartoon distributor) both in New York and
Tokyo. His works soon expanded to include covers and interiors of magazines and
the majority of the Met Life advertising campaign. His fine art “Peanuts”
related paintings have been exhibited in Paris at the Louvre, in Tokyo, and at major
American art museums.

Imagine Snoopy speeding down the highway to work in his convertible after a fun-filled
weekend: you have imagined the Everhart impressionistic painting entitled “Monday
Morning.” This and other “Peanuts Paintings” are skillfully reproduced
as hand-pulled lithographs, one color at a time, on century-old French presses (which
once produced classic French posters). “Ace Face,” “Undercover in
Beverly Hills,” and other pieces in The Snoopy By Everhart Collection make
lively focal point accent artwork where family and friends meet. As an authorized
Everhart dealer, the Art-cade can special order any artwork that is still available
at the publisher.
