The Unusual (and bizarre) work of Tom Yab aka Cobb Shinn








Forgotten illustrator Cobb Shinn!  The first image is a heavily embellished postcard from 1913.  It is most unusual to see a painting added to a printed postcard, but this is certainly one of the craziest..the reverse is odd too, but I'm not scanning it.  An original card is shown below it.  Tom Yab drew Yab's Kids, but so much more...and the best place to learn about him is on the Tattered and Lost website HERE.  It's great.

    Well this surprised me. And great to see other work by the man who gave us the milk drinking turtle.
