Last summer we checked in with the great New Yorker artist, Anatol Kovarsky for an update on his life and work. If we ever needed proof that the saying “once a cartoonist, always a cartoonist” is true, Kovarsky is that proof. At 95, he’s unable to let something slip by without graphic comment.
Ink Spill received the above piece from him yesterday. When he saw “Cindy Sherman’s 29 Blond Wigs” in The New York Times T Magazine on August 24th, “It seemed,” his daughter wrote me in an email, “to be asking for Kovarsky to doodle on it.”
Note: A version of my Kovarsky Ink Spill piece was published on The New Yorker’s website. Link to it here.
