Please join us and support the Overton Loyd benefit Art Exhibition in honor of the passing of Mary Ruth Sampson, mother of legendary P-Funk artist and caricaturist Overton Loyd.
Detroit-born, Overton Loyd gained notoriety in the 1970s by designing a plethora of artwork and album covers for the infamous funk band George Clinton / Parliament Funkadelic. In 1980, he broke new ground, winning Billboard Magazine’s “Best Use of Computer Graphics” for the music video “Atomic Dog.” This will be a unique opportunity to see the largest exhibition of Overton’s work in one place. The event is being thrown by friends and supporters of Overton Loyd. All proceeds will go towards expenses encountered during the passing of Overton’s Mom.
