Why this illustrator sent 400 drawings to the New Yorker

Cartoonist and illustrator Will Kiley Santino grew up drawing fantastical (and sometimes punny) pictures. As an adult, Will started to submit his cartoons to the New Yorker - at an incredible rate of six submissions per week. Though Will’s submissions kept getting rejected, they became a source of comfort after the unexpected death of someone very close to him.

In a world where art isn't always honored for it's true value, Patreon is closing that gap for many. We need art more than ever.

We couldn't agree more!

I cannot believe Will has only sold SEVEN cartoons? I've been following his work for years and I can think of dozens if not hundreds of brilliant illustrations and cartoons he's created that have made my day/life better and made me laugh no matter what I was going through. Thank you Will for your strength, vulnerability, generosity and brilliance!

Just found this channel. As a cartoonist myself this is relatable.
