Interview With Illustrator Bob Ostrom

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.
