Born Oscar Robert Blechman in 1930, R. O. Blechman's internationally acclaimed artwork spans decades, mediums, and industries.

His illustrations and comics have graced magazines, anthologies, and newspapers. He has created more than a dozen New Yorker covers.

He has been awarded the Gold Medal from the Cannes Film Festival and numerous Emmy Awards, and has been nominated for a BAFTA.
