Committing to Your Dreams |
Bruce Eric Kaplan, long-time cartoonist with The New Yorker magazine, said in an NPR interview that he loved to draw little people as a child, and dreamed of becoming a cartoonist when he grew up. In pursuit of that dream, he joined a creative artists’ group in New York in his late twenties. To remain a part of this group, he was required to make creative commitments. He pledged to draw ten cartoon frames each week. Instead of filing them away, he decided to send them to his ‘dream’ magazine, The New Yorker. For the next two and one-half years he sent cartoon frames in each week to the magazine despite the fact that they were returned to him with an unsigned, impersonal rejection card.
Instead of giving up, Bruce never wavered in his persistence. In fact, he started sending notes each week with expletives interspersed saying that any other 'bleeping' magazine in the world would be printing these great cartoons. The support and encouragement of his creative group gave him energy and buoyed his confidence through the continual rejection.
One day Bruce returned to his apartment to discover a Fed Ex envelope from The New Yorker. As he opened it, he started crying with relief just knowing that someone had been reading his cartoons. When he called the magazine as directed, the editor told Bruce that he and the staff had been reading his cartoons all along, and that they were waiting for him to be ready for publication.
Since 1991, Bruce Kaplan's cartoons have appeared in The New Yorker each week. Bruce perfected his art and craft over that two and one-half year period and was able to stay the course with the support and motivation of his creative group.
