ROB OSBORNE | Go Forth & Conquer

I'm Rob Osborne, and I want to conquer the world. Oh, and I produce this blog. It's my gift to you. Please, enjoy.

So a little bit about me. I'm an artist, a writer, a creative thinker, a runner, a husband, a father, and everything else. I draw cartoons, design things, make things go.

Are you interested in art? Living a life of adventure? World domination? Then you may like what's happening here.

The world is yours. Go forth and conquer!

Barry Windsor Smith drew comics like none other, and at a time when comic book coloring was pretty limited due to the printing process, and certainly comic book coloring was ripe for aesthetic evolution, BWS enhanced the mood and complexity of his artwork with a lush color palette.

Here, BWS makes Chris Claremont’s script for Uncanny X-Men #205 into a landmark of artistic awesomeness.
