ABOUT THE IMAGE: First conceptualized in 1948 by Chuck Jones, Wile E. Coyote has appeared in 42 Looney Tunes cartoons with Road Runner. The suggestive hints in the piece offer insight into Wile E’s character. For instance, “Ethelbert” is Wile E’s middle name, and 11 represents the number of gags in many of the Road Runner/Coyote cartoon shorts. The unusual border on the canvas version features vignettes of Wile E.’s classic confrontation with the Road Runner. Renown “Veggie Tales” animator, Michael Cole interprets Wile as oversized to show both his nature, and enormous ego. Cole’s credits include theme park designs for Disneyland and Disney Hong Kong’s attractions, “A Bug’s Life,” “Toy Story” and “Hello Mickey.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Michael Cole While at Disney, Cole developed expressive fine art featuring the Looney Tunes characters. Having grown up watching Looney Tunes cartoons, Cole felt a particular affinity for Bugs, Daffy and the gang, and was inspired to develop unique imagery with these works. Cole also worked with the hit animated series “VeggieTales.”

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
