Art: Architecture/Design Gary Panter Book Release

  • 51beq8buuyl

Self-described "art nerd" Gary Panter is the graphic-art god best known for his iconic cartoon Jimbo and the ingenious design of Pee-wee's Playhouse. (Remember Chairy and Pterri?) His newest book is a collaboration with Brooklyn-based publisher PictureBox, a comprehensive look back at Panter's 30-plus years as the "King of Punk Art." The two-volume set includes a monograph of over 700 images, essays by art and music critics and the artist himself, and never-before-seen sketches. Los Feliz's Skylight Books hosts this event, which includes a slideshow and Q&A hosted by another modern graphic-art heavy: Simpsons creator Matt Groening.
