The Cover is illustrated by one of my favorite artists Jean-Jacques Sempe. I was compelled to find out more about him,and publish a positive post about the New Yorker's Covers. (If you remember I did not enjoy the satire of The Obama cover awhile back) I found out that Yesterday was his Birthday, yes his birthday!! (In addition to my brother's birthday as well) I found it a bit odd, that last night I was struck by how beautiful the cover was, wanted to learn more about the artist and it was his birthday!! In general the covers are done in (I believe) watercolors,( which is not easy) they look so effortless, yet so elegant.
Below are more New Yorker Covers by Mr. Sempe
Happy Belated Birthday Mr. Sempe!! oxoxx, B

I love the New Yorker covers! How refreshing to have beautiful art on the cover of a periodical instead of a celebrity's face!
