What About Bob?

Quickest draw in the south. Bob Ostrom... a man...an illustrator... a man illustrator.

I began my freelance illustration career in 1984. Yep ’84. I was still in college... Oozing with talent and overflowing with ambition. So just who in their right mind would hire an illustrator still in college? Molson Canadian Brewery that’s who. A college kid and a beer company, it was a match made in heaven.

From there I went on to work for lots of other big companies like, Parker Brothers, Hasbro, Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, more than I can mention in this little space, but if want to check out my work click on one of the links to the left and you can see for yourself.
