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! +++ For more, visit: http://robosborne.net And: http://absolutetyrant.com +++Tumblr (3.0; @robosborne)http://robosborne.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4ea4c17288d42cbea4c63ab77eaedeee/tumblr_mmpze3buuR1s2u4wdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I loved Baker’s inks over Byrne’s pencils.
