Today is the birthday of Basil Wolverton! His illustrations were published by everyone from Mad magazine to Life. Wolverton first gained public acclaim by winning a contest in Lil Abner to produce a drawing of the world's ugliest woman. People either loved or hated his work, but his originality and beautiful technique are undeniable.
His highly original work influenced everyone from Robert Crumb to Big Daddy Ed Roth. Click here for a collection of his artwork.
Enjoy!
