 As the world’s media and royalphiles gear up for another one, here’s Ralph Steadman’s take on the last dream royal wedding: Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer. This was offered as a poster by PRIVATE EYE back in 1981. I bought a copy. It still cracks me up

 CoverJunkie is a site dedicated to celebrating magazine covers. They recently began a new series entitled "great art directors about their favorite covers." It asks a prominent art director to name five favorite covers from their career as well as five favorite covers they "wish they'd designed themselves." Robert Newman is first up. I was thrilled to see that he selected a cover we'd done together back in '93 as his personal number one favorite. Bob has always been incredibly supportive of my work going back to my earliest days as an illustrator. The key to Bob is that he has complete faith in the illustrators and photographers he hires. He designs with an encouraging hand rather than an iron fist. He's also incredibly knowlegable about the history of magazine, book and newspaper design. The results speak for themselves. I know that I may have had a very different career had we never met.

Original Art: Rudy's mouth in this image is actually Whitney Houston's.

The full story is here CoverJunkie: the site for cover lovers. It's about creative magazine covers that inspire and amaze. About covers that celebrate our visual culture.
