Friday Illustrations: Japanese cuteness, Grand Theft Auto, and more

• Illustrator Justin Gerard offers what looks like a nice set of Photoshop tools.  Here you can see him putting them into action.
• Michal Tatarkiewicz creates cool life-sized subway drawings. [Via]
• Rockstar Games commissioned four mural artists to create a large version of the new Grand Theft Auto box art, hosted in a Brooklyn warehouse.  Here's a timelapse video of the 31-hour creation process. [Via]
• Logos:
  • PingMag surveys cute Japanese logos for transportation companies.
  • On CreativePro, Malcolm Grear reveals how to create memorable logos (featuring some cool examples).
  • The Comcast logotype has undergone some rework.  Blink and you'll miss the changes, but what do you want to bet they paid a million bucks for the privilege?
• Historic bits:
  • The Getty features a long, folding photomontage from master El Lissitzky. [Via]
  • Cornell is hosting a gallery of some crazy historic illustrations. [Via]
  • Somewhat similarly, the Trade Card Place features galleries of Victorian trade cards. [Via]
  • Word to the wise: Don't send your kids onto railroad tracks.  Limb-shedding badness will ensue. [Via]
  • Here's a nice collection of Roman funerary portrait art. [Via]
