Skye Sherwin's A Good Look

agoodlook0902: Bowie single
David Bowie is a priapic sailor on shore leave in front of one seriously phallic guitar on this rare 1978 Japanese single release, included in the exhibition Nacht Musik at the Vinyl Factory Chelsea in London. There are shades of Otto Dix’s Weimar-era paintings, while the font gives it a nice futuristic zing. Photograph: PR
agoodlook0902: Dinos Chapman album
Dinos Chapman has listed horror movies among his first album’s inspirations and his ragged beast-man could be a 1950s horror comic cell. The coloured shapes are more like fragments from a Suprematist painting. Photograph: AG/CAD Limited
agoodlook0902: Cloud Atlas
This cafe, from the movie Cloud Atlas, echoes a vision of the future familiar from Japanese art star Takashi Murakami’s work. Where his superflat paintings depict endlessly repeating cartoon motifs, like smiley sunflower faces, here the nightmare is brought to its logical conclusion: a population of identical clones.

agoodlook0902: The Joy Formidable album
The Joy Formidable have turned that cliched icon of new-age fantasy poster art, a wolf, into something perplexing and unsettling, as is the whole image’s numbed CGI smoothness. Photograph: PR
agoodlook0902: Kinoteka Festival
This poster for the upcoming Polish film festival was created by Tomasz Opasinski, the computer graphics artist behind the campaigns for Shrek and Hellboy. Here, he looks back to the decades under communism, when Polish poster design flourished, free from the Hollywood imperative to depict stars and tell a story. Photograph: PR
