Mark Ulriksen’s most recent cover for @newyorkermag is as special as ever. The humour, exquisite colour palette and composition make each image powerful yet engaging. This particular image was to illustrate the rule changes that are happening in baseball this season.

Fascinating new image for this month’s National Geographic by the wonderful Owen Freeman. Always ready to offer a fresh angle on a complex text, in this piece he was able to combine both the literal and the mythical research on Tut’s dagger. The image accompanies an interesting article on the sacred role of meteoric iron in ancient civilisations
These are just a taste of the extraordinary images by the exceptional illustrator, Olivier Kugler for the current exhibition, ‘Friends, Foes & Good Companions’. Hosted by The Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre, this show explores the turmoil of the Cod Wars and reflects on the impact, past and present on the industry, through the eyes of those who were there. Reportage and social investigation at its very best. For those of you in the area, the show runs until the 20th August.
This beautiful and insightful animation by Liang-Hsin Huang was created for the On Being podcast and Maria Popova as part of the Universe in Verse project. The synergy between Liang’s exquisite artwork and W H Auden’s reflective poetry is cogent. The delicacy of touch in both creative structures inspires and draws one closer to the meaning of love’s place in our lives. You can see more here.
Hearty congratulations to Paul Rogers on being selected once again for American Illustration This powerful piece shows a detail from an unpublished poster for the film ‘Marlowe’.
