Eric Drooker

ERIC DROOKER's drawings and posters are a familiar sight in the global street art movement, and his paintings appear frequently on covers of The New Yorker. Born and raised in New York City, he began to slap his images on the streets as a teenager. Since then, Drooker’s reputation as a social critic has grown, and has led to countless editorial illustrations for the Nation, the New York Times, the Progressive, etc. His art is in the permanent collections of many museums including the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Library of Congress. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. His first book, Flood!: A Novel in Pictures, won the American Book Award, followed by Blood Song (soon to be a major motion picture). His new book, the graphic novel Naked City, was recently published by Dark Horse Books.
