For a short time I was obsessing about The New Yorker Magazine. I wanted to get a cover published and I sended a handfull ideas to them.

I was very proud of the idea to the left, and I could not imagine how they possibly coul dturn it down.Even if I kept hearing stories about how many times people had been turned down before they got published.

They told me I was "on the right track " with this one but that the medium was "to polished". And now I totally understand and even agree. It reminds me of an article I read once about one of The New Yorker Magazine's cartoonist who was late with a delivery. They called him up and he was depressed because he could not draw... Then the editor told him, "If you learn how to draw you are fired!"

The next image I sended was Money Man, and this one they liked, even if it was made in the "polished medium". ANd they asked me to send the original file.
 I later learned by Barry Blitt, who had just been at the magazine to put some color to a cover, that "they almost used it". And when I got the magazine I enjoyed Edward Sorels illustration instead. Nothing to say, but I got other interests after this. Filled my time with other stuff. Maybe I will send another idea in the future, who knows.
