Product Description: Dan Clowes meets Walker Evans in this collection of subway and street portraits by Adrian Tomine, whose work readers will recognize from Time, Rolling Stone, Dave Eggersis Best American Nonrequired Reading and the cover of The New Yorker. New York Sketches features 15 full-color reproductions of the beautiful ink-and-watercolor drawings that Tomine began after moving from California to the city. Each shows his unparalleled eye for detail: a police officer scrutinizes a stylish young mother; a girl remains content but completely motionless through four subway stops; a disgruntled worker kicks a chair while he sweeps. This remarkable portfolio is printed on finely textured 130-lb. Cougar paper, accordion folded so that images can be detached for framing or displayed upright together. It is the only full-color project featuring new art from Adrian Tomine, one of the most respected and perhaps the most widely visible alternative cartoonists of our time.
nice to look at, but a little light for the price you pay This is a nice glimpse at Adrian Tomine's sketchbook. It's not a full comic. Just a few dozen colored drawings of people that he's seen around the city, with notations about their mannerisms or the environment that he made the drawing. It's not a traditionally bound book. It's accordian folded so you can cut out the ones that you like, and put them on the wall or uh ... hang from your rear view mirror. You'd have to be a pretty hardcore fan to feel that $25 bucks is a fair price for the amount of material. Amazon's price is a little bit easier to swallow. a little.
