The Story Behind
Drawing While Waiting invites us into a moment of stillness — a fleeting pause in time, captured through the eyes of an observer. Created for the cover of The New Yorker in 2011, Loustal’s piece blends graphic elegance with a warm, cinematic calm.
Known for his travel-inspired illustrations and timeless palette, Loustal distills the act of waiting — something often overlooked — into a quietly poetic scene. There’s a softness in the light, a looseness in the line, and a sense that even the in-between moments of life can be full of presence and beauty. In the background, the world moves on. But here, the artist is still — drawing, noticing, existing.
