Cape Wind makes The New Yorker cover

Chatham's Bob Sttaake hits another one out of the park.

Approval of the Cape Wind project has been getting plenty of attention in the national media -- even making the cover of 'The New Yorker' on Monday, May 3.

The image by Chatham-based 'New Yorker' cover artist and illustrator Bob Staake features a farm of iconic wind turbines on the Atlantic horizon as a whale-riding Don Quixotesque pilgrim angles his jousting stick towards the towers.

Tilt

The title of Staake's cover is "Tilt".

"Like most of us here on the Cape", says Staake, "I have mixed feelings about the project and I think the cover reflects that, though I have to say I think its pretty cool that in a few years my Chatham studio will be powered by wind."

Staake is also the creator of the most popular 'New Yorker' cover of all-time -- 'Reflection', which commemorates Barack Obama's election as President.
