Peter Bennett (July 19, 1967 – May 17, 2024; aged 56) was an art director who had worked on the show from 1999 until his death in 2024.
He was best known for being one of the main background painters in the series, throughout 182 episodes total between 1999 and 2014, as well as being the hand actor for the character Hans after "Suds" (although his voice is provided by Tom Kenny). Very little is known about him, despite being a crew member on the show from seasons 1 to 14.
Along with this, he was also known for being one of the main art directors for 161 episodes between 2005 and 2021, some including "Squeaky Boots," "SB-129," "Hooky," and "Wet Painters," and among many others. His acrylic paintings are immediately recognizable for long-time viewers of the show; they are mainly used for backgrounds, promotional materials, and especially detailed close-up shots.
He has also provided art direction for the show ChalkZone, the first two SpongeBob movies, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, and The Patrick Star Show, as well as artwork for SpongeBob Comics,[3][4] Nautical Nonsense: A Tribute to SpongeBob SquarePants, and San Diego Comic-Con 2016.[5][6]
