Product Description Review \"In 2008, Jason Polan set himself the challenge of drawing every personin New York. Like Sufjan Stevens\'s aim to make 50 albums of the United States,it was essentially an impossible project, but what\'s come out of it isundoubtedly a success. The artist and Cut collaborator has drawn an impressive36,000-plus people to date, and those sketches are all compiled in EveryPerson in New York, along with a foreword by Kristen Wiig. It\'s out on August18, with a key addendum to its title: Volume 1.Thumb through a copy to findsketches and scrawled captions of New Yorkers waiting in line, subway riders,famous faces, and, if you\'ve been to New York City in the last seven years,maybe even yourself.\" - New York magazine\"In 2008, illustrator Jason Polan setout to capture the enormous human poetics compressed in Gotham\'s geographicsmallness by drawing every person in the city. The first seven years of thisongoing project, totaling drawings of 30,000 people, are now collected inEvery Person in New York - a marvelous tome of Polan\'s black-and-white linedrawings, colored in with the intense aliveness of a city where, as E.B. Whitewrote more than half a century earlier, \'wonderful events are taking placeevery minute.\' What emerges is a kind of poetry - fragmentary glimpses ofideas and images, commanded by an internal rhythm to paint a complete whole ofthis human hive.\" - Brain Pickings\"In 400+ pages and 30,000 people, Jasonpresents a big-hearted and humanistic picture of the city. He draws at museumsand on the subway, he draws his friends in loving detail and celebrities inunposed real-time situations, like Yoko Ono walking up the block away fromhim. There are food people (including some of us at LP, though that\'s boring)like Mario Batali on his Vespa (which is how you usually catch a glimpse ofhim in the city), Danny Bowien on his cell phone, Padma Lakshmi Flagging a cabdown while holding a baby, and Amanda Hesser at a food talk with Josh RussTupper and Dorie Greenspan and Sam Sifton. There is a certain thrill inrecognizing somebody in the pages of the book, but it\'s the unknown trainsnoozers and the myriad of cab drivers drawn from the back seat that make upthe bulk of the pleasure it delivers. There\'s a thousand names and faces youmight not recognize, and finding out who those people and why they ended up inthe book requires paying attention, which Jason has been doing for years, penand pad in hand. Getting to flip through years of his work at home, freed fromseeing it on Instagram, and being able to look as closely and for as long as Ilike, has been one of the chief pleasures of my summer, which is all a longway to say: I think you will like this book.\" - Lucky Peach Read more Aboutthe Author Jason Polan is an illustrator whose work has been published in theNew Yorker, Metropolis magazine, and in the New York Times as part of a weeklycolumn. He has exhibited work internationally and has also drawn every pieceof art in the Museum of Modern Art, twice. He lives in New York, of course.Read more
