How Artist Barry Blitt Turns Politics and Pop Culture Into Cartoon Gold | The New Yorker

[@dreed1058]

Short & sassy! He seems very likable, extremely talented & humble!! Nice to see the person behind the art😂❤.

[@doomdeluise]

I love seeing cartoonists in their element. Makes me wish I went down that path. Funny, snarky guy

[@joanneward258]

We're going to need him.

"Do you have any hobbies outside of drawing?" "No." _Cut to electric piano_

Perfect wit pairing of a subject like Barry Blitt and director @NewYorkNico. Blitt is just the guy I hoped he'd be based on knowing him through his whip smart and hysterical social commentary based art. Bravo !!!

The Costco size bottles of Pepcid really tell the story of the artist's struggles.

Barry, thanks for all of those great New Yorker covers. Best part of the magazine to me.

[@pluribus_unum]

Yay Barry! An icon.

[@nancye7520]

Excellent. Humble genius. Being a working illustrator will do that for you.

[@andrewgraves4026]

That’s a lot of covers! They’re fun, Blitt’s fun, can easily see why.

[@BrianLockett]

I like his studio. Space. I love a sense of space.

[@scotsam7590]

I knew nothing about this artist behind these drawings. Would love to see his rendition of the Orange Hitler when you have to draw him again.

Barry Blitt: The only person who can draw a caricature of politics and make you laugh, cringe, and think all at once. It’s like watching a political cartoonist juggle, except instead of juggling balls, he’s throwing satire, controversy, and perfect timing into the air. 🎨✏

[@BronsteinEmily]

Your parents were so sweet. I played tennis with your dad we called him “the captain” he always played with a captains hat 🙂🇨🇦🍷!!!

The white shirt was actually a better look.
