"Televators"

I found this piece of art on the cover of a CD that I would like to own.  The band is called The Mars Volta, a strange mix of musicians that make a more than compelling style of music.  The name of the CD that this is the cover to is "Televators".  It is interesting to me because there is a reminiscent play on some of the works by Salvador Dali with the melting objects and the placement of random perspective.  Very well-designed piece just to be put on a CD, but that is important to bands nowadays.

"In-floral-ential"

I would have to say that this is some really good graphic design.  It was found while in the midst of searching for some tutorials to do in my search for greater knowledge in Photoshop and Illustrator.  Eventually, I would like to be able to achieve some great imagery in my graphic art like the artist behind this work.  It is a beautiful picture of a woman's face that has been made from flowing pieces of what seem to be flower petals on close inspection.  There is a real imaginitive interpretation to this arrangement and I like it very much because of that.
