New Yorker’s 100th Anniversary, II
Here is the 2nd installment of 3 celebrating The New Yorker Magazine’s 100th Anniversary. As I mentioned previously, I did pretty regular illustration work at the magazine for two-plus years in the 90’s. We start with one last Artist, Sol LeWit, before moving onto images strictly dealing with movies…
Making use of the artist’s linear geometric work, I had to construct a portrait drawing within the grid-pattern. Now, off to the films…
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn
from the movie “We’re No Angels” of 1989. A couple of thugs on the lamb disguise themselves as clergy to evade capture. Fun to draw!
Gremlins II
This cute little guy in a toolbox went on to create havoc. Nice ears!
Here’s a still from an Australian film. The details of this one escape me, but the drawing has a nice composition.
A film about a political campaign, and a very busy drawing! Early-40’s is my guess…
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Set in the grimy streets of 1970’s New York, this was a classic depiction of ‘The Big Apple’, with all the hallmarks: Deli, Manhole cover, Hydrant, and Trashbags!
Osaka Elegy
This elegant drawing showcases my drafting skills. A Dramatic Pose captured!
Wonder Wheel
Here is a scene from Coney Island, ca. 1950’s. It’s bittersweet, pathetic display of the boardwalk is haunting.
Bing on a sled… Romantic?
La Belle et La Bete
from the classic Jean Cocteau film. This flick has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it screened in art school. It was such a pleasure to draw that I decided to give it a color-treatment… Here it is:
That’s All for this week. Be sure to catch the final post of my illustrations, celebrating The New Yorker at 100 — all about Musical Artists!
