ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Gary Hallgren, born in 1945, is perhaps best known for his underground comix work beginning in San Francisco in the 1970’s, most notably the series Air Pirates Funnies, a parody of Disney characters which spurred a greatly-publicized lawsuit with the Walt Disney Company (the case was settled out of court). Hallgren is a 1968 graduate of Western Washington State College (now WWU); having grown up in the Pacific Northwest, Hallgren now resides in Granby, MA with a studio located in Holyoke, MA. Hallgren’s freelance work has been featured in several publications including The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Boston Globe, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, Mad, and Entertainment Weekly.
