In organizing The New Reality, the International Guild of Realism asked artists to create a work inspired by a historical painting. The work of Masters including Da Vinci, Durer, Vermeer, Audubon, Dali, and others are depicted on comparative labels alongside sixty-five contemporary works, allowing viewers to compare and contrast the old with the new Realism as seen in still life, landscape, figurative, and trompe-l’oeil art forms.

Every year for nearly fifty years during baseball season, Peanuts fans could expect a healthy number of strips portraying Charlie Brown and the Gang engaged in America’s favorite pastime. Based heavily on Charles M. Schulz’s childhood experiences with sandlot baseball, the stories of the Peanuts baseball team are in turn whimsical, thoughtful, hilarious, and full of pathos. Peanuts at Bat takes a lighthearted look at Schulz’s love for the All-American sport and showcases the Peanuts Gang’s hapless pursuit of a winning baseball strategy through nearly fifty Peanuts strips and memorabilia.

Tim Seeley wanted nothing more than to draw comics while growing up in Central Wisconsin. He drew strips for the student newspaper at D.C. Everest Senior High and a strip called Big Small Town at UW-Marathon County. He started working professionally in comics after graduating from UW-Eau Claire, illustrating G.I. Joe and G.I. Joe vs. Transformers. More recently, he authored the serial comic Hack/Slash and wrote the script for the Hack/Slash film. On view are two dozen original drawings from Seeley’s comic book projects.
