On the cover
Simon Spilsbury is an award-winning U.K.-based illustrator whose specialty, he says, is "finding absurdity in the minutiae of life." For the past 16 years, he has tackled everything from newspaper illustrations to multimedia ad campaigns for clients like Nike, Virgin, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, and others. An art director once said of his work, "Spilsbury's drawings always jump off the page and bite me on the ass." We think, however, the illustrator's cover art gets inside our heads.
