The following biography is from Edward and Deborah Pollack, who are the administrators of the estate of the artist and who are writing the catologue raisonné of the artist's work.

Orville Bulman, a self-taught artist, was born in 1904 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  A year later his father, Elvah O. Bulman, invented what was to become a long line of ingenious products, a twine holder and dispenser.  Subsequently, Elvah (or E. O. as he was called) continued to create dispensers and cutters for virtually all goods that could be rolled up.  Before long, the Bulman Paper Cutter became de rigueur for any self-respecting grocery or dry goods establishment in the early 1900s, and Bulman was expected to carry on the hugely successful family business, which dutifully, he did.  After graduating from Grand Rapids Central High School, however, he traveled to Chicago for one year to work as a newspaper cartoonist before entering the business world.
