The Bride stands for a wedding shroud fitting while her
bewildered beau thumbs through a bridal fashion magazine in this whimsical cartoon by Tim Foley for Blown Covers, a friendly competition where
artists come up with images in the very demanding style and spirit of those
used on the cover of The New Yorker
magazine.
Run by The New Yorker’s
art director extraordinaire, Françoise Mouly, Blown Covers was inspired by her book of the same name collecting
outstanding but ultimately rejected covers for the magazine. Now, on a weekly
blog, Mouly suggests themes and runs the best images submitted by artists from
all over the world. The BRIDE image here was artist Foley’s submission on a
recent “spring wedding” theme. A nice touch: Note the stitching in the color
bar running up the side.
Tim Foley works in a startling variety of styles, equally at
ease with painted portraits, caricature, scratchboard illustrations and elegant
cartooning, as evident by the present image. There’s much to admire on the
artist’s website and blog.

That's a fun image. I appreciate that he's drawn the Monster in his bangs-less BRIDE look.
Thanks for sharing this.
Wonderful stuff. I'm so glad you're posting again, it's a treat to get to look at this work.
