Passing of Audrey Geisel
We were saddened to hear the news of...

|
Audrey Geisel... You could not say enough about her stewardship of the Seuss Legacy over the last 27 years. Bringing his work around the world through the many movie projects, sharing his private artwork with the world, the doubling and more of book sales worldwide. More people than ever before have been exposed to the wonderful Seuss Universe and it’s popularity is at an all time high. What I think does not get enough attention was her incredibly generous charity work. The Seuss Foundation and Funding Read Across America was in the public eye but the numerous projects charities and institutions here in Southern California she helped fund did not get the attention it deserved, perhaps by design. At 97, she passed peacefully at home in La Jolla, CA December 2018. She will be missed.

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 the drawings and studies for his large-scale skeleton / nature related paintings; he blew up some of the cartoonist’s strips on a twenty-five foot wall in his studio which eliminated the perimeter lines of the cartoon box, leaving only the marks of the cartoonist. Schulz’s painterly pen stroke, now larger than life, translated into painterly brush strokes and was now a language that overwhelmingly connected to Everhart’s own form of expression and communication. Completely impressed with Schulz’s line, he was able to reproduce the line art almost exactly, which in turn impressed Schulz at their meeting. It was directly at this time that Everhart confirmed his obsession with Schulz’s line art style and their ongoing relationship of friendship and education of his line construction.
