On my recent trip north to our summer cabin high atop the mountains of Piney creek, North Carolina, we took a southward detour to visit my long time pal and fellow humor illustrator Fian Arroyo in his new home in Asheville.
We then made a 3 hour drive to Winsten-Salem for a first time face-to-face meeting with another fellow illustrator I met on twitter, the talented Bob Ostrom.
This is a candid interview with the Bob Ostrom as he shares some great information on his career as a cartoonist, how he got started drawing children’s books, freelancing, marketing and chicks on motorcycles. Enjoy.
Very nice interview. It’s always good to see talented, pleasant guys like this succeed and hear their suggestions. Thanks for making this available.
