R. Kikuo Johnson’s “Perennial”
It feels like we are right on the cusp of spring turning into summer here in Toronto (rain all day Saturday, beautiful sunshine Sunday) so I enjoyed R. Kikuo Johnson’s latest cover illustration for The New Yorker. There are so many lovely touches.

Adrian Tomine’s “Fall Sweep”
I was raking leaves in Toronto last night where it also feels like a lot of folks have discarded masks, so Adrian Tomine‘s latest cover for The New Yorker resonated with me.
The copy of The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Cartoonist propped up against the railing is also a nice touch.

Better Luck Next Month
Apologies — I don’t know who the designer for Businessweek Europe is (let me know if you do!), but the cover of the August 30th edition touched a nerve. I am sure anyone who intended to go back to the office at some point will relate… (via Ian Birch, author of Uncovered: Revolutionary Magazine Covers).

Stop Thief
These illustrations by Gino Bud Hoiting for the cover story of the June 5 edition of Volkskrant Magazine about (if I’ve understood correctly!) an attempt to steal a writer’s manuscript are fabulous. The stripes bring Paul Rand to mind (via Cover Junkie).

Bob Staake’s “Icons”
Bob Staake’s new cover for The New Yorker commemorates Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died aged 87 last week.
It brought to mind Stephanie Ross’s cover for the 2018 biography of Ginsberg by Jane Sherron De Hart published by Knopf, which also focused on her lace collar.

Amy Sherald on Making Breonna Taylor’s Portrait
“She sees you seeing her. The hand on the hip is not passive, her gaze is not passive. She looks strong!…I wanted this image to stand as a piece of inspiration to keep fighting for justice for her. When I look at the dress, it…reminds me of Lady Justice.”
Artist Amy Sherald, who painted Michelle Obama for the National Portrait Gallery in 2018, talks about her portrait of Breonna Taylor for Vanity Fair‘s September issue, ‘The Great Fire’, guest-edited by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Franz Kafka Illustration by Matt Willey
I love this illustration for the June 29 issue of The New Yorker magazine by Matt Willey. It accompanies ‘The Rescue Will Begin in Its Own Time‘, a series of short pieces by Franz Kafka that have not been published in English before, and that will appear this fall in the New Directions book The Lost Writings.

American Uprising
Inspired by Eugène Delacroix’s ‘Liberty Leading the People’, artist Kadir Nelson explains how he illustrated the July 2020 cover of Rolling Stone to accompany Jamil Smith’s cover story on Black Lives Matter.
Nelson also illustrated the cover of June 22 issue of The New Yorker. The magazine has an interactive version of the cover, entitled “Say Their Names”, on their site.
