ILLUSTRATIONS AND COMICS FROM THE NEW YORKER COVER ARTIST AND
AWARD-WINNING CARTOONIST
Two strangers, both reading the same novel, share a fleeting glance
between passing subway cars. A bookstore owner locks eyes with a
neighbor as she receives an Amazon package. Strangers are united by
circumstance as they wait on the subway stairs for a summer storm to
pass.
Adrian Tomine's illustrations and comics have been appearing for more
than a decade in the pages (and on the cover) of The New Yorker.
Instantly recognizable for their deceptively simple and evocative style,
these images have garnered the attention of The New Yorker's
readership and the approbation of such venerable institutions as the Art
Directors Club and American Illustration.
New York Drawings is a loving homage to the city that Tomine, a West
Coast transplant, has called home for the past seven years. This lavish,
beautifully designed volume collects every cover, comic, and
illustration that he has produced for The New Yorker to date, along
with an assortment of other rare and uncollected illustrations and
sketches inspired by the city. Complete with notes and annotations by
the author, New York Drawings will also feature a new introductory
comic focusing on Tomine's experiences as a New York illustrator.
