How Artist Barry Blitt Turns Politics and Pop Culture Into Cartoon Gold | The New Yorker

Short & sassy! He seems very likable, extremely talented & humble!! Nice to see the person behind the art😂❤.

Yay Barry! An icon.

I love seeing cartoonists in their element. Makes me wish I went down that path. Funny, snarky guy

The white shirt was actually a better look.

Love his humor, guess he is in my neighborhood somewhere 😂 sending best wishes

He's brilliant!

I LOVE HIM HATING THIS 😂

excellent piece!

Barry Blitt for President!

GreatBLITT IS A GENIUS

That’s a lot of covers! They’re fun, Blitt’s fun, can easily see why.

Barry Blitt: The only person who can draw a caricature of politics and make you laugh, cringe, and think all at once. It’s like watching a political cartoonist juggle, except instead of juggling balls, he’s throwing satire, controversy, and perfect timing into the air. 🎨✏

Brilliant art, brilliant video portrait storytelling

Excellent. Humble genius. Being a working illustrator will do that for you.

The Costco size bottles of Pepcid really tell the story of the artist's struggles.

excellent interview. love the filmmaker and subject banter.

Barry, thanks for all of those great New Yorker covers. Best part of the magazine to me.

Perfect wit pairing of a subject like Barry Blitt and director @NewYorkNico. Blitt is just the guy I hoped he'd be based on knowing him through his whip smart and hysterical social commentary based art. Bravo !!!

Genius!

Great job, fellers! 🎶🍁

More please!

Genius

I knew nothing about this artist behind these drawings. Would love to see his rendition of the Orange Hitler when you have to draw him again.

We're going to need him.

"Do you have any hobbies outside of drawing?"
"No."
Cut to electric piano

Where does he live? Upstate NY?

Charming filmmaking.

I totally understand him.😅

I like his studio. Space. I love a sense of space.

Very entertaining.

Your parents were so sweet. I played tennis with your dad we called him “the captain” he always played with a captains hat 🙂🇨🇦🍷!!!
