  • Tom Everhart Resume
    Tom Everhart (American, b. 1952) In 1980, Tom Everhart was introduced to cartoonist Charles M. Schulz at Schulz's studios in Santa Rosa, California. A few weeks prior to their meeting, Everhart, having absolutely no education in cartooning, found himself involved in a freelance project that required him to draw and present Peanuts renderings to Schulz's studios. Preparing as he would his own drawings and studies for his large­scale, skeleton/nature­related paintings, Everhart blew up some of the cartoonist's strips on a twenty­five­foot wall in his own studio, which eliminated the perimeter lines of Schulz’s cartoon boxes, and left only the marks of the cartoonist. Schulz's painterly pen­strokes ­­ now, larger than life ­­ were transformed into painterly brush­strokes in a language that overwhelmingly connected to Everhart's signature form of expression and communication. Completely impressed with Schulz's line, Everhart was able to reproduce Schulz’s draftsmanship with exacting fidelity. This, in turn, impressed Schulz at their 1980 meeting. It was at this time that Everhart affirmed his obsession with Schulz's line­art style, and thus began their ongoing friendship and collaboration. A few years later, while still painting his own body of work full­time in his studio, Everhart began drawing special projects for Schulz and United Media of New York and Tokyo. These authentic, Schulz­style drawings included covers and illustrated articles for magazines, art for the White House, and the majority of the MetLife insurance­company campaign, so very famous in its day. Everhart is now the only fine artist authorized and educated by Schulz to draw the actual Schulz line.

    TOM EVERHART “I never made it past that first blown up drawing of his strip. I sat in front of it for hours. I don’t even remember leaving it.” TOM EVERHART was born on May 21, 1952 in Washington, D.C. He began his under graduate studies at the Yale University of Art and Architecture in 1970. In 1972 he participated in an independent study program under Earl Hoffman at St. Mary’s College. He returned to the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1974 where he completed his graduate work in 1976, followed by post-graduate studies at the Musee de l’Orangerie, in Paris. He taught Life Drawing and Painting, briefly from 1979 to 1980, at Antioch College. In 1980, Tom Everhart was introduced to cartoonist Charles M. Schulz at Schulz’s studios in Santa Rosa, California. A few weeks prior to their meeting, Everhart, having absolutely no education in cartooning, found himself involved in a freelance project that required him to draw and present Peanuts renderings to Schulz’s studios.
