I illustrate quite a few books each year but I hardly ever get to show you guys the development process that goes into it. Most things are under contract and I can’t show them until they’ve been published (sometime that can take up to a year). Like most artist and illustrators I have about a [...]

Cinco de Junius
I met Seth way back when he began his first podcast, Jack Wakes Up. Seth was one of the earliest writers to begin pod casting his work on iTunes and I’ve been a fan ever since. Some of you might remember our interview with Seth on Answers for Freelancers back in the early 1950′s. Seth [...]
From the Sketchbook.
It’s been pretty busy here at Bob Ostrom Studio lately. I’m at the tail end of a very large project so there is a lot to be done. Thought I’d load up a few sketches from the Official Bob Ostrom Studio Sketchbook…. Tonight’s theme: Fish. Enjoy…..
Mini Canvas
I’ve been having a lot of fun with these mini canvases lately. Here’s one I did with my Jerry’s class. These things are great. Our theme for the last class was Under the Sea (I thought it would be fun to do a snail). We used acrylic paint, sharpie markers, clear gel medium, sand and [...]
Help, There’s a Gator in my Tub!
I started this one on Ustream a little while ago. Just about ready to wrap it up. Thought you guys might like to see where I’m at. I’ll add the last step tomorrow…
Sketchbook then Off for Repair
My computer has not been feeling well this week. It’s been shutting itself off and restarting randomly. I have no idea what’s wrong or how long it will take to fix so so it’s off to the Apple store today. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious and I won’t be out of action for too long. [...]
The New Super Official Bob Ostrom Studio Sketchbook
This year Santa was good to me. He brought me a couple of new sketchbooks. There is one in particular that I am loving. It’s a 3 and 3/4″ by 5 and 3/4″ leather bound and it fits right in my jacket pocket. I have dubbed it the New Super Official Bob Ostrom Studio Sketchbook [...]
Anyone Want to Trade?
I’ve really been having some fun with the artist trading cards over the last couple of months. I was introduced to them while shooting the Jerry’s vids and was hooked right away. Since then I’ve been noticing them all over the place. There are tons of artists doing them. You can find them on line, [...]
Tattoo Art
My old high school chum Skitz called me the other day. He told me he wanted to get a tattoo. I laughed because if you knew Skitz you’d think it was funny too. Way back in 1980 something when we were kids I drew this fake tattoo on his arm. I think it was an [...]
Halloween = Monster Art
It’s almost Halloween and you know what that means… time for monster art. I love drawing monsters. They’re one of my favorite things to draw and with Halloween right around the corner I thought it would be a great time to post a few monster drawings. I’ll be adding more monsters to this post all [...]
