Tommy Siegel

Tommy Siegel is a cartoonist for The New Yorker and a touring musician. As a cartoonist, his challenge to draw five hundred consecutive days of comics led to a viral fan base of hundreds of thousands worldwide and eventually spawned his popular Candy Hearts and Extremely Accurate Birds series, among others. As a musician, he has played over 1,000 shows around the world as the singer/guitarist in Jukebox the Ghost, a long-running piano-pop band with a cult fan base whose tour history includes festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza as well as late-night TV shows including Letterman and Conan. He juggles both pastimes with copious amounts of coffee. On social media, you can follow along with his various pursuits under the handle @tommysiegel.
