Arnold Friberg’s artistic growth has been the natural evolution of a working artist. Training, experience, observation, and experimentation have nurtured the development of skill, sensitivity, and vision that have become both instinctive and automatic. It is not easy to categorize Friberg’s work. Never has he sought to pattern himself after any one artist or style of art. Yet, when considering Friberg’s artistic career, it is possible to discern various developmental stages.

The first early spark ignited when young Friberg concluded that an artist must be an original thinker. This is surely one of the most basic observations any artist makes during his or her career. What is particularly noteworthy in Friberg’s case is that he sensed this urge for originality well before entering elementary school. His childhood cartoons, though crudely drawn in pencil, were never imitations. they were single panels in a format that was then popular in such well-known comics as “out of Way” by J.R. Williams, “Our Boarding House” by Gene Ahern, and “The Toonerville Trolley” by Fontaine Fox. But it was their format that he strove to recreate, not their content. Friberg sought to develop his own creations.
