Skye Sherwin's A Good Look

Included in a show of Stone Roses photography at Whiteleys in London, W2, Kevin Cummins’s iconic, paint-spattered NME cover plays to guitarist John Squire’s love of Jackson Pollock.

The punks’ classic Teenage Kicks features in another exhibition of rock-related art, Jubilee, 2012 – Sixty Punk Singles, at The Vinyl Factory in Chelsea, SW3.

French animator Michel Ocelot’s Tales Of The Night puts the shadow puppets of Asian theatre into a jewel box of Islamic pattern work. For a more adult spin on these traditional silhouettes, see artist Kara Walker’s lo-fi animations telling X-rated histories of slavery. Photograph: Allstar
