Debbie Millman Instagram – There have been a lot of famous New Yorker covers but one of my favorites depicts a young man and a young woman reading the same book on the subway. Their eyes meet, and you can feel that they feel that they’re made for each other. But they’re on different trains headed in opposite directions, separated by fate and the MTA. “Missed Connections” was Adrian Tomine’s first of many New Yorker covers. But really, all of his illustrations have a way of imprinting themselves in our brains. His unfussy panels with clean lines and muted pastels often have a poignant, memorable narrative embedded in them. That’s probably because @adriantomine is both a narrative artist and a comic artist. His 2018 book “Killing and Dying” became a New York Times bestseller, making him one of the few comic artists working today to gain a mainstream audience. That audience has questions, and Adrian enjoys answering them. His most recent book, Q&A, is compilation of questions he’s gotten from readers and fans, and we talk all about this and more on my brand new episode of Design Matters. Link to listen is in my bio. | Posted on 18/Feb/2025 23:39:31
