"Drawn to New York" Solo Show at Society Of Illustrators/MOCCA
“Peter Kuper has produced countless comic panels since he started making them at age 19. This week through October 5 (with a special opening on September 25), he is having an exhibition at the Society of Illustrators MOCCA Gallery of the work from his new book Drawn To New York, a paean to the city he loves. The show is just the tip of the iceberg. His latest project is a new full color 300 page graphic novel called “Ruins” that is fiction but based on his experience living in Oaxaca, Mexico. And he continues to create “Spy vs Spy” for Mad magazine, with a collection of 95 strips published in November. But back to Drawn To New York: This current event is a good opportunity to ask a few questions about comics, travel and life . .”
