After moving to NYC, the cover art of the The New Yorker has taken on a new significance as I recognize the buildings and street scenes depicted and appreciate the weekly snapshots of the world around me.
Tokyoiter is an art project which challenges participants to depict the cover of an imaginary Tokyo city magazine in much the same way. As you can see, it takes its inspiration from The New Yorker (except the price, 500 JPY is a bargain). There are many images on the site but here are some of my favorites.
Follow them on Instagram to see new submissions and learn about when they make prints available for purchase.
Thank you dad for introducing me to The New Yorker many years ago and buying me a subscription as soon as I moved here.
