New York Drawings: A Decade of Covers, Comics, Illustrations, and Sketches from the Pages of the New Yorker and Beyond by Adrian Tomine

4.0

Beautiful edition of a very clever artist's work that I'm not sure I'd previously been exposed to (the New Yorker is frightfully expensive to buy in Australia), or at least if I have seen I didn't have a name to ascribe to it (his work reminds me of Daniel Clowes, so I could have assumed I was looking at Clowes when it was actually Tomine). As others have noted, it was a bit difficult to read because the notes to each piece were located in the back, but it is a minor quibble, as it may have been too cluttered to list the notes beside each work and consequently detracted from their immediate impact. Aside from the beautiful cover work and article illustrations, I enjoyed the comic strips that were included and I will have to check out some of his graphic novels at a later date.
