Sorel, Edward: - A working artist for nearly seven decades, Edward Sorel has carried the incisive approach of his early satirical and political cartooning through to high-profile illustrative and caricature work. His distinctive looping, scrawling ink lines and supporting watercolor have since covered and illustrated nearly every major American magazine journal (Esquire, Time, Harper's, The Atlantic, Forbes) with long residencies at the National Lampoon, the Village Voice, The Nation, Vanity Fair, Penthouse and The New Yorker. He has published over a dozen books of cartoons, comics, journalism, memoir and works for children including a collection of his political comics strips, Just When You Though Things Couldn't Get Worse (Fantagraphics), and his latest book, Mary Astor's Purple Diary (Liveright). He lives in New York City.
