Gary Panter

Gary lives in Brooklyn, though he emerged from Texas and then Los Angeles, where he pioneered punk graphics. Later he did the production design for Pee-wee's Playhouse and published brilliant graphic novels like Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise and Cola Madnes. All through he's been making vibrant paintings and drawings, the paintings being large-scale manifestations of his sense of space, relations, form, and emotional being. In his studio he makes drawings, paintings, sculptures and comics. He is known to be handy with a grill and enjoys lightshows, psychedelic music, and post modern literature. I wrote a much longer biography of Gary here.
