Have a look at the exhibition and the rest of the vibrant collection here. He actually uses spray paint to create almost digital looking canvases, which i was surprised at. The use of colour is extremely tasty, creating optical illusions and facets that remind you of crystal shards, glass buildings, and feel like bursts of excitement.

I loved the cover I chose, which is one of a series for Vintage Classics: Elegant and classy, I thought. So I began to look for more. Here are some more of the covers in the same series, which I find so beautiful that when I see them in the bookstore that I am tempted to buy them (despite the fact that I have multiple copies of some of these books, like Pride and Prejudice). I particularly like the Jane Austen covers, especially Persuasion. I'm no expert on art or graphics or whatnot, but I think they're simply stunning.
