Drooker's cover titled 'Crushing Wealth' depicts a lone businessman ominously towering above viewers, highlighting the unsettling scale of Wall Street's financial district and the egos of those who deem themselves invincible, stating 'too big to fail.'
In discussing his work, Drooker emphasizes how the New York cityscapes are deeply ingrained in him: 'Such images are buried deep within my psyche no matter how far away from New York I am.'
The upcoming launch party for Naked City at City Lights Books illustrates Drooker's connection to the literary scene: 'It will include a slide lecture of my work,' showcasing his engagement with the community and relevance in contemporary graphic novels.
As Drooker reflects on closing a 30-year circle with his 40th New Yorker cover, he acknowledges the ongoing relationship with his roots, showing a deep commitment to both his art and the urban landscapes that inspire it.
