JOANNA NEBORSKY is a maker of jittery ink drawings and 1960s-stung collage; someone who wasn't, remarkably, Joanna Neborsky, said her work suggests a blend of "Shel Silverstein, Yellow Submarine, and Cy Twombly." (She would gently add Monty Python.) Her first book, an illustrated series of gruesome turn-of-the-century French news items translated by Luc Sante, was published by Mark Batty Publisher in September 2010. Her clients include Farrar, Straus & Giroux, W Magazine, and the New York Times. The illustrator doffs her beret to the Sauls (Steinberg & Bass), the Bens (Shahn & Katchor), and people with other names.

Sometimes she gets a little peckish. (Photo credit: Malcolm Brown)
