Andrew Nilsen has been the art director of alternative newsweekly
SF Weekly since January 2010. One of his
SF Weekly covers won a gold medal at this year's SPD Gala for Best Illustrated Cover, with an illustration by
Brian Stauffer. A lot of his covers are self-illustrated (he says about 40%), and like art directors at other altweeklies, he operates with little time, staff, or budget. Yet he's managed to produce an impressive body of work, corralling illustrators like Stauffer,
Scott Bakal, and
Luba Lukova to produce memorable imagery and powerful covers.
Here are 10 of our favorite
SF Weekly covers.
