Peanutbutter®, the person, has been painting people since ****. 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 ** 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.

Peanutbutter® himself has performed in France, at Seibu department stores in Tokyo(****), 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.
