He quickly found success as one of the creators of the Pee-wee's Playhouse TV show which soon led to more work designing some of the most arresting and iconic images in pop culture.

The movie chronicles the vaulted highs and crushing lows of an artist struggling to find peace and balance between his professional work and his personal art.
