  • Comment: The content suggests notability but the sources are too weak at the moment. If his comic strip was published in 100 papers there must have been some coverage or reviews of it and this is the kind of sources we need. The fifty plus advocate is the kind of coeverage that needs to be added. The other sources are passing mentions affiliated or a user generated bio in a database Dom from Paris (talk) 10:52, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Lennie Peterson (born 1958 in Massachusetts) is an American graphic artist, illustrator, musician and music educator.

Peterson studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston where he taught arrangement, composition, and musical performance from 1984 to 1994[1]. Later, he worked as a freelance music educator, band leader, composer, arranger, conductor, studio musician, producer, singer, and pianist, as well as a mentor and producer of audio and film productions. He performed internationally as trombonist in Osvaldo Golijov's La Pasión según San Marcos together with major symphony orchestras[2]. A DVD and a CD of the "Passion" was created in 2009 in the Netherlands and was shown in 2013 in Carnegie Hall. Aside from playing in concerts himself, Peterson presented his artwork at Brooklyn Rider's concerts[3].

In the 1980s the autobiographical comic strip series The Big Picture was published in more than 75 newspapers[4] and magazines, as well as in a book published by Andres/McMeel Publishing[5]. He also illustrated more than a dozen books including Monica Mansfield's When You Have to Say Goodbye and Larry King's Remember Me When I'm Gone. A collection of his composer portraits titled Face to Face was on display at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center[6].

Peterson also lectures at universities and presents his work alongside live music.
