Skye Sherwin's A Good Look

agoodlook0109: BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO
The poster for this British psychological thriller, set in the world of 1970s Italian horror movies, is a stunning piece of fakery, from the visible dots of old printing processes to the emphasis on eyes. Photograph: Allstar
agoodlook0109: Ariel Pink
The white tusks spelling out Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti’s initials seem to take the dishevelled, ad hoc approach that characterises much LA sculpture. It’s a reconfigured version of Joseph Young’s Triforium outside the Los Angeles Mall Civic Center. Photograph: PR
agoodlook0109: Blur
Parklive’s cover art takes Blur right back to their very first release, She’s So High. That 1990 single featured American pop artist Mel Ramos’s Hippopotamus, a painting of a bikini-clad babe flexing her pins atop the titular beast. In place of Ramos’s all-American icon, Blur’s new poster-woman sends a clear message: Britpop rules. Photograph: PR
agoodlook0109: OD a hippie
Raymond Pettibon’s inky drawings, clamouring with Christs, clowns and literary quotes, have made him an artworld star. This image, included in the book and Hayward Gallery exhibition, Punk Graphics 1971 To 1984, is from his early days of self-publishing. Its gun-toting hippy screams of punk’s disdain for the failed flowerchild dream. Photograph: Raymond Pettibon
agoodlook0109: Roxy Music
The sleeve for Roxy Music’s 1980 album, reissued, is truly killer, transforming two women who could be fresh from a Jane Fonda work-out into a knife-sharp vision of Aryan bodies to rival that of Nazi film-maker Leni Riefenstahl. Photograph: PR
