The ever humble and eminently talented Mr. Jason Polan had another drawing in the New York Times this week:

Jason will have work in a group show, Art—Read, opening this Saturday night at Glenn Horowitz Bookseller in East Hampton. The show features artists who have adopted a "multidisciplinary approach to making work and in every case has made the creation of artists’ books a significant part of their practice". Artists in the show with Jason are: Tauba Auerbach, Fiona Banner, Chris Duncan, Roe Ethridge, Terence Koh, Seth Price, Dean Sameshima, Paul Schiek and Derek Sullivan.

Jason also wrapped up five new drawing videos for Hello Health:

Additionally, Jason has illustrations in the current issues of Esquire and GOOD magazines. I'm particularly interested in seeing more of his illustrations of A Visual History of Water Weaponry, so I better find myself a newsstand fast. Here is half of the history of The Evolution of the Squirt Gun from GOOD:
