drawing by Julie McNiel
Problem with the System
pencil on manila paper
1999

A quickly drawn idea, without pre-planning nor image source, other than memory and imagination. A critic once disparaged my drawings at the time, calling them not much more important than a New Yorker cartoon. A fellow artist later told me that I should take his criticism as a complement, since millions of New Yorker magazine readers know better.

The text reads, "this occurred after a problem with the system"...
