Notes/research

Just gonna post some notes and research to help everyone out. :) I'll keep updating this post as I find more.

Osborn

 Osborn is the definition of late bloomer. He was approaching forty years old when he began drawing cartoons for the Navy, his first major body of work. He created between 2,000-3,000 drawings for posters and military training booklets, many of them featuring Dilbert, a goofball pilot who did everything incorrectly. It’s a crime that these drawings have not been collected nor reprinted anywhere since their original publication seventy years ago. 

 He doesn’t hesitate to twist and distort forms, caricature expressions, anthropomorphize airplanes, and gag up an idea. 

Asked how he thought of himself, he said he was primarily "a drawer" and an artist with moral convictions.  he was fearless about using his pen to express his political positions. He was known for the swiftness of his line; it was deft as well as diabolical.

there's a big chunk of his work here.
