This month’s Cartoonist of the Month blogger at the New Yorker is Michael Crawford. So far, his blog entries—a collection of sketches, paintings and candid shots of New Yorkers out on the town—provide not only a behind-the-scenes look at the origins of the magazine’s famous cartoons, but also an unusual take on life in the city itself. Try Sketchbook: Central Park or Sketchbook: Why They Call It A Hell Of A Town for a start.
