Lisa Marshall is Short

Writer, arts slinger, lover of old ladies and gents who solve mysteries.
I remember these days - only mother at the park on Mother’s Day in Park Slope, Brooklyn.  newyorker: We asked Chris Ware, who drew this week’s cover, “Mother’s Day,” to discuss the New Yorker covers that inspired him. Since I draw more or less like a robot, it’s good to have something human to inspire me every once in a while. While I dutifully admire the manly, punchy gags of Peter Arno and Charles Addams, the “old school” New Yorker cover artists I think most about are actually all women. Ilonka Karasz’s bucolic diorama-like vistas and the unapologetic warm sentiment of Edna Eicke stir up fond memories of childhood with a tactile power truly unusual for drawings intended only for print. See the past covers that have inspired Ware and his commentary here.
