Richard McGuire's first series of \"spot\" drawings debuted in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e in February 2005 for the magazine's 80th anniversary issue. Spot drawings, scattered among the magazine's text, had been a long-running feature of \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker,\u003c\/i\u003e and over the years, many artists had contributed them. But McGuire was the first to conceive them as a sequence, and his drawings were something altogether new: deceptively simple images that imbued the series with movement and narrative, telling their own unexpected stories. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e(In a 3-7\/8 x 5-7\/8 trim size.

In each drawing, and in each sequence, there are observations and connections that delight….Why are the drawings so appealing? Because they pay close attention to detail, to the many ways in which humans have invented small, useful things, and because they’re drawn simply and gracefully, with what feels like affection, despite being almost exactly realistic….Removed from the text in which they first appeared, [the spots] allow us to focus on the delicious works of art that they are—subtle, rewarding stories that once complemented other stories….Excellent.”\u003cb\u003e —Sarah Larson, \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRICHARD McGUIRE\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis a regular contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e.
