The cover of the New Yorker ‘s recent Cartoons & Puzzles issue by Luci Gutiérrez feels like an appropriate post to end the year on as I’ve basically been doing anything but work for the last couple of weeks.
Hopefully I will have a YA covers post for you in the next couple of weeks, but until then, Happy New Year!

I love the halftone dots and spots in Christoph Niemann’s four different cover illustrations for the recent centennial issue of The New Yorker.
I love Tom Gauld‘s latest cover for the New Yorker so much. We just had sleet and freezing rain in Toronto so that part is accurate. But it’s not just the weather. Everything feels pretty bleak at the moment and, like many others, I have found myself seeking solace in art too.
(I also have a dog. I should post more dog cartoons)

Another lovely illustration by cartoonist Klaas Verplancke for the cover of the latest New Yorker. It has been an unseasonably hot June in Toronto!

Sergio García Sánchez‘s cover illustration, coloured by his partner Lola Moral, for the recent fiction issue of The New Yorker is lovely.

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.

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.

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).

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).

TIME has replaced the logo on its cover for the first time. The artwork is by Shepard Fairey.
