ABOUT THE IMAGE: We are used to the Road Runner, not Bugs Bunny, pairing up against Wile E. Coyote. But when that pairing does occur, it's more a match of wit and will (and brilliance...somewhat), that finds the game of rabbit vs. coyote. In the 1952 classic Operation: Rabbit, directed by Chuck Jones, Wile E. Coyote seeks a rabbit dinner of Bugs Bunny by employing of all his physical attributes, his intellectual prowess as well. Elaborate inventions, all of which waver between brilliance and desperation, fail miserably for Wile E., until we once again understand who the real genius is in this cartoon.
ABOUT THE MEDIUM: "Operation: Rabbit" is signed by Warner Bros. Director, Darrell Van Citters who recreated the animation from the original film. The master inking is silk-screened onto acetate along with the Clampett Studio Collection seal of authenticity. Each cel is then expertly hand-painted on the reverse side in the classic animation style.

ABOUT:
Tom Everhart is a celebrated American painter whose work uniquely bridges the worlds of fine art and popular culture through his exclusive use of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters. Initially trained at Yale School of Art and later mentored by Schulz himself, Everhart transitioned from traditional illustration and architectural rendering to a bold, expressive painting style after a life-altering battle with cancer in the late 1980s.
"The "Posing" series did grow out of the previous "Hide and Seek" series that focused on the questions of one's attempt to hide their intellectual honesty in order to seek out a newly designed image... a "Poser" tsunami of posturing between who was being real, and who was obviously pretending to be real, often with the intent to deceive, could no longer be ignored." - Tom Everhart
