With the world’s media focussing on man-of-the-moment Barack Obama, any editorial illustration is likely to become a highly-desired collectors item. But none is more deserving than the incredible cover Bob Staake has just done for the New Yorker (shown above). Bob’s also put together this short little movie featuring the cover, along with Barack Obama audio, which adds to it even more. Bob has a really unique way of working, and if you missed it when it was posted around a while ago, you really should watch this video of him creating a New Yorker cover.

And if all that’s whetted your appetite, why not read our interview with Bob!
