OZ was founded by Martin Ritchie Sharp (1942 – 2013).

Sharp made contributions
to Australian and international culture from the early 1960s, and was called Australia's foremost pop artist. His psychedelic posters of Bob Dylan, and Donovan and others,rank as classics of the genre, and his covers, and cartoons and illustrations were a central feature of OZ magazine,both in Australia and in London. Martin co-wrote one of Cream's best known songs, "Tales of intrepid (brave in the face of danger) Ulysses, and " created the cover art for Cream's Disraeli Gears and Wheels of Fire albums,and in the 1970s became a champion of singer Tiny Tim, and of Sydney's embattled Luna Park.
