William Steig, illustrator and children's book author

After studying at City College and the National Academy of Design in New York, and briefly, at Yale School of Fine Arts, Steig set out to support his family during the Great Depression. He found work at The New Yorker in 1930 at the age of twenty-three, where his drawings were a regular feature throughout his life. Over seventy-three years, until his passing in 2003, William Steig contributed 123 covers and 1,676 drawings to The New Yorker.

And he made a book you might have heard of, Shrek. Yes, the movie and broadway play came from a book by a Yale grad, and New Yorker illustrator.
