ABOUT THE ARTIST: Artist-writer William "Bill" Berg was born in Tacoma, Washington and attended art school in Los Angeles. He joined Disney in 1938 as a trainee, starting out as an animator on “Pinocchio," but later switching to the story department and writing scripts for various Donald Duck shorts, Mickey Mouse Club, and Wonderful World of Disney. One of his notable contributions was that he helped create the character of Ludwig Von Drake, Donald’s brainy uncle. Berg also worked on the 1959 short “Donald in Mathmagic Land,” which was nominated for an Academy Award. Before retiring in 1988, he wrote and illustrated the Lady and the Tramp spin-off comic strip “Scamp,” which was published in more than 400 newspapers around the world.

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
