Famed NYC photographer, Ryan McGinley, is no stranger to music photography. His haunting series following Morrissey as well as his recent Grids series at Team Gallery all capture music culture in unique ways. McGinley recently shot the cover of Bat For Lashes' newest comeback LP, The Haunted Man. A sliver of nudity after the jump . . . 

We love that as time has gone on from the era of the great pulp paperback books in science fiction and fantasy, that the artists who created the memorable covers are getting their notice years on. As you can tell on the site the past few days, we have been looking into more fantasy and science fiction works, looking at certain artists in particular, and one that we really have wanted to showcase is the late Don Ivan Punchatz.

This isn't the first time that Shepard Fairey (Jux cover artist, November 2007), but perhaps this year has the strongest sentiment. For their annual Person of the Year issue, TIME Magazine chose "The Protestor," and had Shepard create the cover art for the special honor. Looks good in our book.

One of the forefathers of the glamour pin-up girl illustrations— Enoch Bolles' work is sometimes overshadowed by more current and popular names. But, the fact is ol' Bolles had this shit nailed down damn near a hundred years ago. You gotta give credit where credit is due, and Enoch's running a black Amex card in my book.

Our May 2011 issue is about to hit newsstands, and we are pleased to announce that Los Angeles-based fine artist, Eric Yahnker, is the cover of both our newsstand and subscriber covers. After a successful solo exhibition, Cracks of Dawn, earlier this year with Ambach & Rice at Kunsthalle in LA, we sat down with the artist and talked about lifting weights and process.

Process pieces are always the most interesting, the how-tos to creating something that is both artistic and commercial. Illustrator and typographer, Darren Booth, was responsible for the book jacket cover and endpapers for Steve Martin's art collecting-themed novel, An Object of Beauty, and he posted his step-by-step process of creating a book cover for a major publisher . . .

We are starting a new monthly post on Jux.com announcing and reviewing our monthly magazine that you can find on the newsstand. We start today with a look the January 2011 issue of Juxtapoz, featuring cover art by Tiffany Bozic. Fresh off Bozic's solo show in NYC, we sent Mike Giant to her San Francisco studio to catch up on her new body of work. More after the jump . . .
