From the pages of the May 5th issue of The New Yorker comes this illustration by Adrian Tomine. Great as always.

Soglow in his own write
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008
Otto Soglow was a genius who mastered the art of capturing the essence of man in only a few lines. In his last Little King cartoon for the New Yorker, he has the people riot. Only Soglow would be able to have his hero do what is most feasible : riot along, and sift along with the sands of time. And it would seem that this was wat Soglow was after himself, as he stated in his own profile (below)…

I’m always a sucker for work that can be described using the phrases “New Yorker” and “Chris Ware”. So there, a sketch. It was sent to me by email, so I don’t know the source. If you can help me, please reply.

Music in the New Yorker
Thursday, January 31st, 2008
The One That Is Not Mentioned sent me a few nice examples of music-themed illustrations that appeared in the New Yorker last year. At the very least, this introduced me to the work of two illustrators that I wasn’t aware of before. The lively arts houses above are by Brazilian illustrator Fido Nesti and were published in the June 4 issue. The images below were created by Dan “Ghostshrimp” James and appeared in the April 2 and May 28 issue respectively. Neat !
By the way, I happened to see the Dirty Dozen Brass Band perform live last year, and they truly blew the roof off the house. Highly recommended !

Adrian Tomine covers again
Monday, January 14th, 2008
Via Drawn And Quarterly it came to us that Adrian Tomine has been doing the cover of last weekend’s issue of the New York Times Magazine (and some illo’s inside, see above).
Additionally, on the drawn And Quarterly special Shortcomics minisite, a small collection of illustrative work for the New Yorker and other magazines by Adrian has been made available. Again, lovely stuff.

Clear Line Rules at New Yorker
Monday, November 5th, 2007
I had bought the oct. 22 issue of the New Yorker for John Updike’s review of the recent Charles Schultz biography, but lo and behold, there were also illustrations by two of my favorite ligne claire cartoonists to be savoured ! Joost Swarte made the illustration above for an article on a new trend in condensing books, and Floc’h made a portrait of historian and cultural critic Jacques Barzun (with a big fat clin d’oeil to Citizen Kane, no less).

New Yorker Swarte
Friday, August 24th, 2007
Joost Swarte provided the cover for this week’s issue of The New Yorker. I had to blow up an image from the New Yorker shop, so the quality is not that good. Sorry.
