Event Description: Although most well-known for his television series Duckman (1994-1997, USA Network), Everett Peck is a multifaceted artist: an animator, a cartoonist, an illustrator, and a painter. It’s Not My Fault showcases Peck’s work over the past thirty years and traces his evolution as an artist from his early concept sketches to his recent large-scale paintings, which humorously explore the pop culture of modern America and its intersection with everyday life. Also on display will be illustrations, sketch books and preliminary and concept drawings from Peck’s extensive animation work. Regardless of the medium, Peck uses his unmistakable illustrative style to humorously point out the quirks and eccentricities of our time. A preview reception introduces the exhibition on Saturday, September 10, 2011 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Admission at the door is $10 and free for OMA members. A native of Oceanside, CA, Everett Peck was born in 1950 and has been passionate about comics and animation ever since childhood. After graduating from Oceanside High School in 1968, he attended Long Beach State University, where he ultimately received a degree in illustration. Peck’s illustrations have appeared in all major editorial publications, including The New Yorker, Time, Playboy and Rolling Stone. In addition to illustration, he has worked extensively in the entertainment industry where his credits include work on animated television series such as Ghostbusters, Rugrats and Jumanji. He is the creator of the animated series Duckman, nominated for two Emmy awards, and Squirrelboy (2006-2007, Cartoon Network). He has been featured in exhibitions and gallery shows worldwide and his work is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution. Peck currently resides in Carlsbad, where he focuses his time on his painting and animation work.
