New Yorker Cover "Twilight"

Notice and Focus:
-Repetition of yellow windows and similar structures on rooftops.
-Yellow towards the bottom and blue towards the top.
-There is a couple holding hands on a rooftop.
-The city is bright even though it's nighttime.
-Romantic theme?

The artist Eric Drooker was not only an artist, but also a novelist and a poet. This says something about the cover because the artwork most likely has a story behind it. I think that by making the bottom part of the cover yellow and fire-like, he is portraying that even though it is nighttime, the city is still alive and bright. The artwork shows a couple looking down onto the city yet secluded from it, which shows the two sides of the city.
