New York Press vol. 13, number 47 - 11/22 ~ 11/28/2000

this is the third illustration I did for NYPress. It's for the holiday gift guide. I don't know if anybody got this, but the 2 stores in the back are modeled after Airmarket and Other Music. That's John from Airmarket in the doorway and the Bob Dylan Band (circa '65) whom I used in the "Tape Recoder Man" animation I made for Momus in the other store. That store is a bit different than Other Music, but it was derived from a picture I took of it. I was trying to think of where I would go if I had to shop and all I could think of was Other Music. I am not a big shopper which is good for me because I don't make enough dough to support such a habit, but I can't help myself spending a good deal of money at Other Music. If I'm within 10 blocks of the place, I'm there checking to see if there's something new and there usually is something I just have to get. well, this is becoming more an endorsement for them. Anyway, I wonder if this picture helped anyone to enjoy what has become more of an obligation than an act of goodwill.
