About this product
Product Information
Jason Polan is on a mission to draw every person in New York, from cab drivers to celebrities. He draws people eating at Taco Bell, admiring paintings at the Museum of Modern Art, and sleeping on the subway. With a foreword by Kristen Wiig, Every Person in New York, Volume 1 collects thousands of Polan's energetic drawings in one chunky book. As full as a phone book and as invigorating as a walk down a bustling New York street, this is a new kind of love letter to a beloved city and the people who live there.

"In 2008, illustrator Jason Polan set out to capture the enormous human poetics compressed in Gotham's geographic smallness by drawing every person in the city. The first seven years of this ongoing project, totaling drawings of 30,000 people, are now collected in Every Person in New York --a marvelous tome of Polan's black-and-white line drawings, colored in with the intense aliveness of a city where, as E.B. White wrote more than half a century earlier, 'wonderful events are taking place every minute.' What emerges is a kind of poetry--fragmentary glimpses of ideas and images, commanded by an internal rhythm to paint a complete whole of this human hive." -- Brain Pickings, "In 2008, Jason Polan set himself the challenge of drawing every person in New York. Like Sufjan Stevens's aim to make 50 albums of the United States, it was essentially an impossible project, but what's come out of it is undoubtedly a success. The artist and Cut collaborator has drawn an impressive 36,000-plus people to date, and those sketches are all compiled in Every Person in New York, along with a foreword by Kristen Wiig. It's out on August 18, with a key addendum to its title: Volume 1. Thumb through a copy to find sketches and scrawled captions of New Yorkers waiting in line, subway riders, famous faces, and, if you've been to New York City in the last seven years, maybe even yourself." -- New York magazine, "In 2008, Jason Polan set himself the challenge of drawing every person in New York.

Those pauses can last minutes or over an hour, enough time for fully textured, impressionistic portraits. But more often Mr. Polan's drawings are of scenes that pass in seconds: a father ordering hot dogs for his stubborn children, or Diane Keaton trying to hail a cab." -- The New York Times -- -, "This digest of sketches brings to life the everyday moments of New Yorkers and finds a spark of excitement in the sometimes-banal shuffle of city living." -- Monocle magazine, "In 400+ pages and 30,000 people, Jason Polan presents a big-hearted and humanistic picture of the city. He draws at museums and on the subway, he draws his friends in loving detail and celebrities in unposed real-time situations, like Yoko Ono walking up the block away from him.... Getting to flip through years of his work at home, freed from seeing it on Instagram, and being able to look as closely and for as long as I like, has been one of the chief pleasures of my summer, which is all a long way to say: I think you will like this book." -- Lucky Peach -- -, "Jason Polan's drawings exude, in unbroken but flexible lines, the momentum of a Manhattan streetscape with only brief moments of stillness.

He draws at museums and on the subway, he draws his friends in loving detail and celebrities in unposed real-time situations, like Yoko Ono walking up the block away from him. There are food people (including some of us at LP, though that's boring) like Mario Batali on his Vespa (which is how you usually catch a glimpse of him in the city), Danny Bowien on his cell phone, Padma Lakshmi flagging a cab down while holding a baby, and Amanda Hesser at a food talk with Josh Russ Tupper and Dorie Greenspan and Sam Sifton. There is a certain thrill in recognizing somebody in the pages of the book, but it's the unknown train snoozers and the myriad of cab drivers drawn from the back seat that make up the bulk of the pleasure it delivers. There's a thousand names and faces you might not recognize, and finding out who those people and why they ended up in the book requires paying attention, which Jason has been doing for years, pen and pad in hand.

That's why artist Jason Polan challenged himself to draw every person who lives in New York City, from the bodega owners to A-list celebs. While the mission itself is impossible, Polan has succeeded in compiling 36,000 sketches that capture the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple and its quirky residents. In addition to the sketches, you'll also want to check out the entertaining foreword written by Kristin Wiig." -- Real Simple, "In 2008, illustrator Jason Polan set out to capture the enormous human poetics compressed in Gotham's geographic smallness by drawing every person in the city.

This sellers "two day" shipping policy is baloney - it took a over five days and repeated emails before this item shipped. I almost thought I would have to request a refund from eBay. That being said, when it did ship, it was nicely packaged and arrived undamaged. I would not buy from this person again because they don't honor their own policies! I can only leave positive feedback because 1) the item DID arrive, and 2) it was as described. The rest wasn't a great experience.

I dislike complaining, but I'm unhappy with this transaction. The deck/book set, described as "like new," was mailed in such a flimsy envelope that it arrived twisted out of shape, to the point where one of the cards was stuck to exposed glue inside. I wrote to the seller about the situation but received no response. I didn't ask for a return because the price wasn't high, but even at this price I expect more care in packaging. (I have ordered other items from this seller that arrived intact.)
