Don Quixote Illustrations by Roberto Paez, 1969

I'm a sucker for images/drawings of Don Quixote (I even had Picasso's version on my bed sheets as a kid). It might be because the Man of La Mancha's delusions of grandeur naturally suggest a nice sketchy, abstract illustration style. Or maybe I just like the often elongated forms that exaggerate the skinny Quixote and his horse Rocinante. Either way, I love these illustrations by Roberto Paez from his 1969 book.

Things Taking Shape - Mixed media series by Richard Cook

It's hard to find much information about Richard Cook, but I really like his mixed media series Things Taking Shape. Cook complicates the photographic subject with bold, contrasting, intrusive objects that make you question weather the simple shapes are conceptually subtractions or additions.
