Skye Sherwin's A Good Look

John Baizley, frontman of metallers Baroness, must have been channelling art nouveau illustrator Alphonse Mucha when he created the artwork for their latest album Yellow & Green. Like the Czech artist’s legendary posters for Job cigarette papers, its ornate cornucopia, where pagan nymphs gambol, is a riot of lissom lines. Photograph: PR

This teaser for Happy!, graphic novelist Grant Morrison’s first indie offering in years, says less about the comic’s content than it does its author’s sophisticated pop culture nous, referencing both Alan Moore and Peter Saville. Photograph: PR

Indie movie Electrick Children, where a Mormon teen is apparently impregnated by rock’n’roll, has a poster that’s a strange fusion of school notebook doodles, young adult dust jacket illustration and religious painting. The figures surrounding the heroine recall those of religious icons. Photograph: PR

The cover of Laurel Halo’s album Quarantine is a manipulated version of Japanese artist Makoto Aida’s print Harakiri School Girls. Skewering his country’s cultural contradictions, its sweet-toothed appearance belies extreme Manga-style violence, all rainbow explosions and bubblegum-pink geysers of blood. Photograph: Hyperdub

There’s an iconoclastic genius to the artwork for Blood Diamonds’ new EP Phone Sex, which ups the ante on Duchamp’s moustachioed Mona Lisa. Here, the greatest icon of Western sculpture, The Laocoön and His Sons, is given a primary–coloured, Tokyo pop makeover Photograph: PR
