In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a space scene in Pixelmator without using a stock photo or special brush, just the ones that come with Pixelmator. We will play with some filters and blending as well. The whole effect will not take you more than 20 minutes, and the end result is really impressive, very inspired on the Snow Leopard space theme design of the CD box.

The wallpaper of this week is a very cool image created by Leif Incognito, a very young graphic artist from Germany also known as Iseedeadpixels or K-OZ. Despite the young age, Leif has some really nice works mixing a bit of retro style and geometric shapes.

The book suggestion of this week is very inspiring, especially for those out there fans of LPs. The book is called The Art of the LP: Classic Album Covers 1955-1995 and it has a great variety of cover design styles from punk rock to pop all divided by thematic chapters.
