Sunday Illustration

• Jacqueline Pytyck produces some seriously foxy work with a nice sense of depth.  I especially like her self portrait. [Via]
• PingMag covers Steven Wilson’s cool Psychedelia, made using Illustrator & Photoshop.
• Right ’round like a record:
  • What likes beyond The Wall?  Find out in a great design challenge to extending album art.
  • In Cover Stories, Old and New, Khoi Vinh surveys past & present album art from long-serving artists.
• Politcally themed:
  • "God Is a Graphic Designer?"  Chip Kidd plumbs the meaning of a curiously torn newspaper.  (This reminds me of when I returned to my laptop once and found the "Y" key missing from the keyboard.  I was convinced that my legitimately crazy and dangerous roommate was trying to send me a message.  Turned out to be the work of my cat, though… I think.)
  • Somewhere I stumbled upon a cool Obama illustration.
• Veerle Pieters
  has been featuring some great illustrators:
  • She interviews Alberto Seveso, creator of a really distinctive photo-illustration style.  (For a number of links to his work, see previous.)
  • Elsewhere she chats with the wonderfully talented Oksana Grivina.
