About the Item

R.P. Overmyer (American, 1948-2010). An original oil painting (this might be acrylic) on canvas. A figural Pop Art work painted in an abstract whimsical style, featuring an interior scene of bloody murder, with corpse figure, bullet riddled wall and chair, picture frame with photograph, and additional forms. Artist signature to bottom R.P. OVERMYER. The artist was a syndicated cartoonist and creator of the popular strip, "Hollywood Dog." Work Size: 29.5 x 39.5 in. Dimensions: 30 X 40.25 X 1.75 in. Overmyer was a longtime LA-based cartoonist and designer. His newspaper clients included LA Weekly and the San Jose Metro Weekly; his animation employers included Fox and Universal Studios. He may be best known for his Hollywood Dog feature, which was nationally syndicated in its current, political-cartoon illustration art form since I believe January 2006 and included the Los Angeles Times among its clients. The feature was originally a comic strip for the Los Angeles Reader, was trademarked for t-shirt production in 1989, and was briefly the basis for a television show in the post-Simpsons 1990s. That show appeared in 1993 and feature Simpsons utility performer Hank Azaria as the voice of the title character. He is from a long line of outsider, alternative, underground comics, cartoonist movement like Robert Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Chris Ware, Harvey Pekar, Ben Katchor, Ralph Bakshi and A large gallery of Hollywood Dog movie-still parodies can also be found on the Hollywood Dog site. Another panel strip by Overmyer called The Gray Area, A large commercial art gallery indicates the breadth of Overmyer's career as a designer and illustrator; I think this may be a poster/print of Overmyer's.
