I have been playing with the Halftone filter in Photoshop for the past few weeks and trying different things we can do with it. I also discover the Width Tool in Illustrator CS 5 and it was a great surprise because now we have much more freedom when playing with strokes. So with these two things in mind I decided that I had to create an image using them, and then the idea of a design inspired in Roy Lichtenstein.
The wallpaper of this week is a beautiful illustration created by Chris Haines, a designer and illustrator from Perth, Western Australia. We have already featured Chris a few times on Abduzeedo, but he has just updated his portfolio with some new and really cool works and sent us this wallpaper :)

The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
