At Sea (for Winsor McCay), is on the cover of The Paris Review’s Winter 2024 issue—its landmark 250th edition.

Originally exhibited in A Boy’s Head at Venus Over Manhattan, this work makes reference to Winsor McCay (1869-1934)—a pioneering cartoonist, animator, and filmmaker, who not only gave the world beloved comic strips like “Little Nemo” and “Gertie the Dinosaur” but also created the first visual record of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. His silent animation, “The Sinking of the Lusitania,” brought the never-photographed 1915 tragedy to life; when the 12 minute film aired in 1918, it was the longest work of animation ever released.
