description:
Learn how to be a
more creative thinker in this one-of-a-kind book from
the cartoon editor of The
New Yorker. Through insider knowledge,
inspirational wisdom, and useful examples, the man who chooses those
cartoons (and contributes many of the funniest ones himself) answers
the question, "How can I be more creative and funnier?", and others in
the first book to use cartooning as a means of exploring the creative
process.
"Everything I
need to know in life I learned from
cartoons," says the opinionated, eccentric and devastatingly funny Bob
Mankoff in this entertaining journey through the art, craft and Zen of
cartooning. With the help of many other well-known cartoonists, Mankoff
discusses, dissects and depicts such topics as:
- How to develop your
creativity and your natural talents
- How to find your own
particular voice and message
- How to learn from the
cartoon masters of the past and present
- What a cartoon is (and
what it is not)
- What makes a good
cartoon work
- How to market
cartoons-and more.
Featuring
lots of art-drawings, photos, panel cartoons and doodles-on every
extravagant page, this breezy yet info-packed book also includes lots
of Bob's personal anecdotes about his development as an artist and
smart aleck, and about life at the world's most urbane magazine.
