A Man And His Leaf
This drawing was in The New Yorker several years ago. It’s one of my favorites, not sure why. This drawing is about this man, not about leaves, really. What is his story?
I know the subject of leaf raking has been discussed here on my newsletter, but there is never enough! Haha.
This is another one I enjoyed drawing. It’s unpublished (except for here). This man has a different relationship to leaves, clearly.
This afternoon, I am headed to Vassar College. I will talk with students and meet President Betsy Bradley, I look forward to that and to hearing from the students. Dr. Bradley studied art and economics in her early years as a professional, which I look forward to discussing with her. Her staff asked me to do some drawings, so that may be my post tomorrow.
Happy Thursday!
Liza, this is just a note to tell you that, in a sea of depressing and dumb news and posts, your drawings and explanations are bright spots in my day. Plus, they often get me thinking differently (to paraphrase the famous Apple slogan).
I would pay that dollar, dressed in a suit and heels.
