Penguins and Polar Bears
We certainly expected that a global warming theme would bring in a few polar animals, but we didn’t expect there to be this many, this adorable. Here they are! Tell us which ones you loved and why.

This Month's Contest: Global Warming
The deadline for this contest was July 26th, 2012. The next Blown Covers contest theme will be announced August 17th. The winners for this contest will appear here as they are posted.  MAN IT’S HOT. It feels like every summer for the past three or four years has been named the hottest summer on record. In New York City, life in August becomes a game of getting from one air-conditioned place...

200 Cat and Dog Cartoons
Wow! You sent us so many images - and so many GOOD ones - that we barely knew what to do with ourselves. From puns (want to see it actually rain cats and dogs?) to curled up kittens to the endless Cat v. Dog war - these cartoons below cover it all. Please note that there are TWO slideshows- one right below the other - since each slideshow can only hold 100 images, and they’re both packed...

5 things we learned from you
Thank you to everyone who wrote in this weekend to help us figure out the new monthly Blown Covers contest format. Your advice was invaluable. Here’s what you told us: Keep the deadline short. Artists need the pressure of a deadline to force them to the drafting table. So - you only have a week! But, you’ll also have the weekend. We’re not monsters. Keep the submissions...

Dear Friends and Followers -  After Monday’s announcement that this blog would wind down at the end of July, the Blowncover’s inbox was flooded with letters of support and encouragement. A clever and talented community of artists and commenters has sprung up around  this project and I can’t bear to let it go. So. You’ve convinced me! The blog will live on. But we’ll...

This Week's Theme: Cats and Dogs
This theme is actually just an excuse to show Nadja’s favorite New Yorker cover (the sleeping Sempé cat below). Really though, we can’t think of anything better than going through 100 or so images about cats and dogs. We’re going to wind down this contest soon: There are only 3 or 4 more weeks to go before we take off for our summer vacation, and in the fall we both have so many...

Back to School: The Winner By Birgit Schossow We received this as two separate submissions from Birgit Schossow and we were leaning towards choosing the dog alone as the winner. But then we realized that, unlike on a real new yorker cover, we could treat you to this animated gif. So voila!
