Adrian Tomine’s New York Drawings (Drawn and Quarterly, $29.95) is a collection both of Tomine’s work and of New York City itself. Featuring his art from The New Yorker, illustrations for albums and books, and Tomine’s own commentary, the book is the story of Tomine’s discovery of the people that make New York, New York venerable the world over. His often close up, textured and straightforward drawings tell more about the city than the magazine that made him famous ever could.
