Gary Panter Biography

Gary Panter is one of the most popular and richest Designer who was born on December 1, 1950 in Durant, Durant, United States. Gary Panter (born December 1, 1950) is a cartoonist, illustrator, painter, designer and part-time musician. Panter’s work is representative of the post-underground, new wave comics movement that began with the end of Arcade: The Comics Revue and the initiation of RAW, one of the second generation in American underground comix.

In the 1980s, he was the set designer for Pee Wee’s Playhouse, where he won three Emmy Awards. Prior to Panter’s work, children’s shows had a more lulling aesthetic: everything was round, “cute”, simplified, and pastel. The set of Pee-wee’s Playhouse was the antithesis of pablum-art: it was dense as a jungle and jam-packed with surprises, often loud and abrasive ones.

With Winsor McCay, Lyonel Feininger, George Herriman, Elzie Segar, Frank King, Chester Gould, Milton Caniff, Charles Schulz, Will Eisner, Jack Kirby, Harvey Kurtzman, Robert Crumb, Art Spiegelman and Chris Ware, Panter was among the artists honored in the exhibition “Masters of American Comics” at the Jewish Museum in New York City, from September 16, 2006, to January 28, 2007.

In 2006, one of Panter’s paintings was used as the cover art for Yo La Tengo’s album I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass.

Warner Bros. Records commissioned Panter to paint the album covers for the unauthorized releases of Frank Zappa’s albums Studio Tan (1978), Sleep Dirt and Orchestral Favorites (1979).
