ABOUT THE ARTIST
With a PhD in social psychology from Tulane University, Wayne Hogan is a self-taught artist, beginning in the ‘40s with chalk profiles of Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo on the blackboard at Hill Grade School two and one-half miles southwest of Newalla, Oklahoma. His art is the result of a spirited imagination more than slightly off center. His illustrations and cartoons have appeared in numerous newspapers (including The Riverside Press and The Christian Science Monitor), magazines (including Bostonia, School Arts, and an ad in The New Yorker), and literary journals (including Spinning Jenny, Lilliput Review, Tightrope, and The Quarterly edited by Gordon Lish and published by Random House), and in many books published by Ruth Moon Kempher’s Kings Estate Press of St. Augustine, Florida. For the past 25 years he has contributed illustrations and cartoons to each issue of Abbey, the venerable 40-year-old literary quarterly founded and edited by the venerable David Greisman of Columbia Maryland.
