Bring humor, truth, and a touch of dark wit to your walls with this limited-edition art print created in collaboration with New Yorker cartoonist Drew Dernavich and letterpress artist Christy Nesja.
In classic woodcut style, a man reclines on a therapist’s couch, overwhelmed by an avalanche of anxieties: job loss, money, plastic toxins, climate change, disease, intimacy, killer bees, clowns—and more. These worries loom larger and louder as they cascade down the page, shifting from lowercase to ALL CAPS. Calmly observing the spiral, his therapist remarks in understated purple type: “Can you hear your anxiety shifting to ALL CAPS?”
Hand-printed using traditional letterpress techniques, this piece balances Dernavich’s sharp, satirical illustration with Nesja’s meticulous craft. It’s both funny and uncomfortably relatable—a snapshot of the modern condition.
Each print is signed and numbered by the artists in a limited edition, making it a unique addition for collectors of contemporary prints, fans of New Yorker cartoons, or anyone who feels that sometimes, laughter is the best medicine!
