This piece accompanies a short story in this week's New Yorker by Tessa Hadley called The Trojan Prince. It's a bit of a Great Gatsby-ish fiction featuring a teenage love triangle and romantic misunderstandings and that sort of thing. It's strange for me to spend so much time drawing nice things happening to regular people. Sketches:
