The New Yorker Cover/ Boston Marathon
The New Yorker cover, as New Yorker covers tend to be, is beautifully subtle. In a blog post the artist, Eric Drooker, said: "A bomb at a marathon, right at the finish line of a festive occasion—it seemed almost like a mixed metaphor, incongruous and absurd. Those are just the things that flashed through my head as I started painting."
