### Author Biography

**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 first book, _Flood! A Novel in Pictures_ won the American Book Award, followed by _Blood Song_ (soon to be a major motion picture). His graphic novels have been translated into French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish. After designing the animation for the film _Howl_, he was hired by DreamWorks Animation.

Drooker's 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 is available for speaking engagements and frequently gives slide lectures at colleges and universities. Drooker is represented by the Wylie Agency.
