Peanutbutter®, the person, has been painting people since 1978. The painted faces in the gallery represent the work that he and his group of artists "perform" at parties. Made-up, costumed, and seated at a table with all their theatrical make-ups, feathers, and jewels, these well-trained, articulate and schmooozie artists adorn the guests.

Each face or head takes no more than 12 minutes. Most less than five. The artists work the personality of the guest into their design. The make-up is all water-based, non-toxic, and washes off simply with soap and water. They normally begin during the cocktail hour and work non-stop for the duration of the party. The artists not only look like fun -- they are fun. They make fun. Even more importantly, the performing artists and their work energize the guests into creating their own fun.

The company travels all around the country performing at art museums, corporate functions, and private parties. Peanutbutter® himself has performed in France, at Seibu department stores in Tokyo(1983), The Philadephia Museum of Art, Philadelphia Zoo Zoobilee, University of Pennsylvania, Tribeca Film Festival,The Corcoran Museum in D.C., Laumier Sculpture Center in St. Louis, among many others.
