About Tom Everhart

  • Biography

    A painter and illustrator, Tom Everhart was a close friend of cartoonist Charles Schulz and is the only person authorized by Schulz to use characters created by the cartoonist in his own work.

    To commemorate the loss of his friend, Everhart painted "The Tear", that shows Snoopy shedding a tear for the loss of his creator, Charles Schulz. Everhart painted the work on two life-sized wooden doors without handles, showing "the lack of control over the moment. Doors open and close, we enter and exit through them everyday, much like when we enter into a new period of our lives", said Everhart.
