From James Thurber to Saul Steinberg to Art Spiegelman, The New Yorker's roster of artists is as distinguished as its literary or journalistic pedigree.
To celebrate the winner of the 2011 Eustace Tilley contest and launch The New Yorker's Strand tote bag, Francoise Mouly, the magazine's Art Editor, will moderate a panel discussion with Maira Kalman, George Booth, Roz Chast and Adrian Tomine. Other local New Yorker artists and cartoonists will be in attendance, ready and eager to sign books and chat about their cartoons.

In response to the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, Drawn & Quarterly and Adrian Tomine have teamed up to raise funds for relief and recovery in Japan. We are offering a set of exclusive prints featuring two of Tomine's most elegant and evocative images, signed and numbered by the artist. Originally created as cover illustrations for the DVD release of the Yasujiro Ozu films The Only Son and There Was a Father, they are used here with the kind permission of the Criterion Collection and Shochiku Co. Ltd. These prints are not available anywhere else, and will be strictly limited to an edition of 50.
In addition to the two prints, all orders will include a small original sketch by Adrian Tomine, personalized to the name of the purchaser.
100% of proceeds will be donated to the Japan Society's Earthquake Relief Fund.
Special thanks to Nocerino Editions for their exceptional printing and generous support of this project.
