Lovely piece from Katie Turner.
Francoise Mouly, famed art editor of the venerable New Yorker, has started a blog. She writes on FB:
Bukowski readings for the New Yorker (January 9th issue, should be out now).
I love it when I get to do some research for an assignment, particularly when it’s something I wouldn’t read on my own. Though the final illustration is a boiling cesspool of comfort zone… There was a bit of redrawing, I’ll post some process for this and the NYT piece later.
Here’s a short video on the New Yorker’s site where Tom Bachtell talks about his work and techniques.

Here’s a short video where Tom Bachtell discusses his work and techniques. Oh and you’ll want to weep when you see the size of his work studio. I’m not kidding when I say we could probably fit our apartment in there. Must be all that cheap New York real estate.
If you read the New Yorker regularly, you’re familiar with Tom Bachtell’s work. We’ve posted him before but he’s one of those talents I think we should post every month. He makes this look so damn easy.
Sam Gross: Sex, Race, and Frogs | The Comics Journal
New Yorker cartoonist Sam Gross numbers and catalogues every cartoon he has drawn.
It’s from a great interview at the new Comics Journal site with one of the funniest New Yorker cartoonists there is.
My work hasn’t changed because of The New Yorker. I don’t do things for The New Yorker; I do things for me. I don’t do anything for The New Yorker because I operate on the premise that Bob Mankoff can be there today and gone tomorrow, and the same with David Remnick. Somebody else could come in and have a totally different outlook and I will either fit in or not fit in. If I’ve geared my work toward the people that were there before, I’m basically embedded with these older people and I’m screwed. But I am my own person. You either take me or leave me, simple as that.

Bob Staake illustrates the October 13, 2008 cover of The New Yorker. Sorry if we’ve posted this before, but even if we have it’s worth re-watching!
We’re marionettes now!

Murder by Death Opening Titles
How did I forget about the Charles Addams-drawn opening title sequence for Neil Simon’s Murder By Death?
Happy Halloween!
