Rick Meyerowitz

Rick Meyerowitz

Rick Meyerowitz started drawing during his childhood in the Bronx and attended art school at Boston University. Meyerowitz was a frequent contributor to National Lampoon magazine; his notable artwork for it included the 'Mona Gorilla' (the Mona Lisa as a gorilla) and the widely recognized poster for the movie Animal House.

Meyerowitz has also worked as a commercial artist and as the author and artist of humorous children's books such as "Return of the Nose Masks" (1998; a book of punch-out masks to be worn on the nose) and "Dodosaurs: The Dinosaurs That Didn't Make It" (1983); he has also illustrated children's books ("Rip Van Winkle", 2004, for example).

Meyerowitz's recent collaborations with the artist Maira Kalman have produced New Yorkistan, a popular cover for "The New Yorker" magazine, as well as editorial and humor pieces for The New York Times. Coasters which they designed are on sale at the Museum of Modern Art store.
