Gary Panter's hyper-colored visuals influenced a generation of wide-eyed imaginations. As the set designer for Pee-wee's Playhouse, Panter conjured domestic hallucinations and childlike reveries that shaped many a Saturday morning. Dubbed the "King of Punk Art," Panter had honed his aesthetic as an illustrator and underground comix artist, lending his pen to Frank Zappa album covers and punk magazines Slash and RAW. Nowadays, Panter still draws, making fine-art pieces as ecstatically creative as any of his early work, and he's also scared up a "semi-musical collaboration" with fellow cartoonist Devin Flynn. This afternoon, the pair performs at Amoeba.
