This striking New Yorker cover from November 28, 2022, captures a breathtaking collision of nature and city life. A towering wave dominates the foreground, rendered in a powerful Japanese-inspired style reminiscent of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai. In the distance, New York City emerges as a hazy silhouette—small and quiet against the immense, crashing force of the ocean. The contrast between the wave’s dynamic energy and the city’s distant calm creates a moment that feels both timeless and modern. This artwork reimagines an iconic style through a contemporary lens, inviting you to explore the tension between nature’s power and the urban world beyond the shore.

Crafted in our Vermont workshop, each wooden jigsaw puzzle is meticulously hand-cut by a highly skilled Stave artisan to be a luxury, heirloom-quality puzzle. No computers or lasers. They are often crafted with an irregular edge that will vary depending on the puzzle's size.
