ABOUT THE IMAGE: Although the famous Warner Bros. bullseye is recognized as an icon around the world, without characters it feels empty. Yet, when a Looney Tunes character is added to the bullseye's center, its meaning becomes indelible as it signifies an animated creation unsurpassed by any other of its genre. Once one sees Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner, Tweety and Marvin Martian bursting through the shaded circles, the lines of child and adulthood blur. The looniness of the characters can be expected. Hilarious gags are a given as are grand orchestral movements to accompany the action. In fact, so significant and in many degrees, magnanimous is the bullseye through which a Warner character projects itself, the words "Looney Tunes" and particularly ''That's All Folks" brings about a sense of wanting more. More gags, more childish high jinks coupled with adult sensibilities, and of course more humor; wry, ironic or otherwise.
All pieces in the new canvas edition have been signed by Ruth Clampett, the daughter of legendary animation director, Bob Clampett and founder of Clampett Studio Collections.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Kirk Mueller is a Warner Brothers character illustrator who can not only render Bugs and the rest of the Looney Tunes characters right up there with the best of them, but can actually understand what motivates the characters. He has also been commissioned to draw and paint scenes featuring popular characters from Disney, Hanna-Barbera and the Cartoon Network. In his career, he has had the opportunity to work with legends Chuck Jones, Virgil Ross and Friz Freleng among others and for this reason has yielded an artist with a passion for capturing the essence of the characters.

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
