Oslo Davis

World According to Trump

Oslo Davis has made a career of recording his observations of 'life in the city' for us all to enjoy. His Overheard cartoons capture the hilarious and the crazy, banal and sillyness of everyday life. While Oslo snoops on what people are talking about, we get to reflect on, and laugh at, the crazy things that occupy people's minds. The daughter telling her mother not to interfere in party preparations, the fat man pondering what is least bad to eat, the hipster commenting on what is truly hip. No one escapes Oslo's eavesdropping. Indeed it could have been your conversation that he was listening in on as he wanders city streets...

The Art of Eavesdropping

Overheard

‘I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you can’t learn cartooning, and it can’t be taught.’ And so begins Oslo Davis’ illustrated book on how to draw gag cartoons. Talk about shoot yourself in the foot! But he’s kidding, kind of. There are reasons why your terrible cartoons are not funny, and Oslo is very happy to point them out. He’s also prepared to give you some advice, for what it’s worth, using examples selected from more than twenty years’ drawing for newspapers and magazines worldwide. Drawing Funny is a how-to guide for people who might never draw a cartoon in their life but always read the cartoons first in the New Yorker and want to know how it’s done.

A Guide to Making Your Terrible Little Cartoons Funnier

Drawing Funny

Have you ever overheard a hilarious, insightful or inappropriate comment while making your way from here to there?Oslo Davis has made a career of it, becoming the ears and eyes of the city and recording his observations for us all to enjoy (or cringe over). Oslo's overheards have been published in The Sunday Age since 2007, inciting weekly giggles and an intensely loyal following. Now, Oslo's mini-masterpieces can be viewed all in one place, promising hours if not years of voyeuristic delight, all from the comfort of an armchair, train seat or park bench. New insight will be gained on the human condition and the joys and dilemmas of life in the modern age.But beware: after enjoying a few of Oslo's overheards, it'll be impossible to ever ignore other people's conversations again.

To overhear is human. If someone wants to shoot their mouth off in public about their private life, it’s not your fault if your ear gets in the way. Overhearing is an accidental, victimless pleasure; it arrives by happenstance, free of charge, opening a door to the messy, funny life of an anonymous nobody. For more than ten years, illustrator Oslo Davis has eavesdropped on the conversations of hundreds of these nobodies as they publicly whine, rave, gush and rabbit on about their lives, then drawn them up into a weekly newspaper cartoon. Overheard: The Art of Eavesdropping collects the best, juiciest and downright weirdest of Oslo’s Overheards, all embarrassingly, and deliciously, true. About the author: Oslo Davis is an illustrator, artist and cartoonist whose work appears in newspapers, magazines and various other media worldwide. His weekly cartoon Overheard has been published in The Age newspaper since 2007.
