Abner Dean - Tumblr Posts

Here are some illustrations from cartoonist Abner Dean’s(1910-1982) book “It’s A Long Way To Heaven”.Abner Deans a cartoonist I’ve become a bit obsessed with for one thing he’s very mysterious there’s not a lot of info on him but mainly for his art obviously just from these alone you can tell Dean had quite the imagination his surreal cartoon drawings in this book can range from interesting to disturbing but no matter what I love them all and I’m a bit upset we can’t know more about this artist.

A Illustration by Abner Dean for Life Magazine for some articles over George Orwell’s Novel “1984”.I may be alone in this camp but personally I think Dean’s art style suits Orwell’s novel perfectly it’s cartoonish and has a slight unsettling feel to it just fits the vibe of the book perfectly I wish he illustrated the full novel he did a couple more illustrations for this article though.
