I guess everybody knows who Shag is. But before Shag was Shag, he was Josh Agle, a solid graphic designer and art director. He did a lot of amazing covers for bands such as THE BOMBORAS, MAN OR ASTROMAN, THE GHASTLY ONES or THE TIKI TONES. I have to admit that I discovered those bands because of him. I didn't know who he was but, by coincidence, I found myself buying CD's based on his cover art.

Since it was impossible to avoid, I guess, we all saw Britney Spears and "K-Fed" doing... Hu... What they do... And we all puked. Now we desperately need to have some hope in human race, we need to see something beautiful. I found this. Don't you feel better now?

This is a fantastic font made out of old Lucha Libre posters. It comes in two weights and has tons of cool dingbats. It's designed by Mauro Oliver and Claudio Pousada at Santotipo. You can download it here. They also have a font called Tequila...

Another resource on the net: the complete collection of all the book covers done by one of the best American illustrator ever: Robert McGinnis. There's also a nice book about his work, THE PAPERBACK COVERS OF ROBERT MCGINNIS. Here are a few samples of his work.
