T :: a collection of rejected New Yorker cover ideas.
the first one was for Summer / Fiction (actually went to final on it)
this one was for Fall / of the news-paper industry.

here is one about Winter / Valentine's day / over-heated apartments / relationships
this was predicting a tough year by depicting a preemptively spent New-Year's Baby.
was an alright year after all, it turns out.
the last one is excellent.
ReplyDeleteYou achieved an amazing symmetry in the composition on that summer fiction piece. So beautiful, so tranquil.
ReplyDeleteI knew something was missing about 2010...
ReplyDeleteThey still haven't published that window piece, have they?
ReplyDeletethat one is probably a goner too.
ReplyDeleteI love that Valentine's Day one. They could run it just like that.
ReplyDeleteWow, the Fall one is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThe window one is my favorite. It's a really striking moment.
ReplyDeleteConcept of this post is awesome. I love the falling New Yorker leaves. That would have been such a beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteLove that winter one, I wish they'd published the one you showed us in class that they picked up. nomnom
ReplyDeleteThey're not leaves of The New Yorker, they're leaves of the New York Times.
ReplyDeleteAnd the fall cover is magnificent. I wish I could get a print of it.
I just saw your first piece on display at the Society of Illustrators! I really liked it - too bad it didn't go to print. :(
ReplyDeleteAny chance you'll sell prints of these? Would love to buy the hot-apartment-snow-day one...
ReplyDeletewow i like your work master
ReplyDeleteThe first one is fantastic , I love the composition (well truly they are all great). Was that one really drawn in Tuscany?
ReplyDeleteWould love a print of the apartment one, with or without the new yorker name on it. Any chance I can order one?
ReplyDeletethat's crazy these got rejected, especially considering a lot of the covers that actually get printed. not to diminish these at all. they are awesome. if memory serves, weren't the covers to that top shelf anthology also proposed new yorker covers?
ReplyDeleteeither way, stellar work as always.
Bellissime ! Great!
ReplyDeleteThese are great!
