'Magazines provide a very strong visual memory of a transient time,' he says. 'I love the idea of freezing this moment in a one-off artwork'
我们很清楚创建杂志封面的艺术性,所以看到他们受到适当的尊敬总是令人高兴的。事实上,对于插画家JP瑟罗来说,他们已经不仅仅是一些值得钦佩的东西了。为了创作细致的铅笔画,瑟罗不只是简单地复制封面,他还会玩和颠覆这些图片,有时会创作全新的作品,并经常玩弄信息,以达到诙谐或政治化的效果。例如,在“缪斯”的封面上,海伦娜·克里斯滕森的形象伴随着新的封面台词“见鬼”。是什么促使人们对杂志封面如此着迷?很久以前,当我还是个学生的时候,我创建了我自己版本的现有唱片封面。他们把铅笔翻译成素描会发生什么?我的画可能需要几天的时间,所以不可避免的是,我自己的想法和感觉被刻在上面。在这段时间里,封面变得相当自传体。很少有插画家准备以这种方式破坏他们的作品。如果我犯了一个错误,我不会试图改变它。这与修饰相反-我强调缺点。你的画对你来说是一种意识流吗?是的-它们是原始图像和我感觉之间的对话。通过你的墙纸*把我和壁纸的关系告诉我们*回到它的发布。有一天,当我穿过伦敦的时候,我发现一张照片发生在一个看起来像个ab的地方。
For his Wallpaper* cover, Thurlow took a Gucci ad from Tom Ford's early days with the brand and reworked it in pencil, giving it a tough edge. Of the woman in the image, he says: 'I love the fact that although she's naked, she's in control'

To create his meticulously detailed pencil drawings, Thurlow doesn't simply copy the covers, he plays with and subverts the images, sometimes producing entirely new works and often toying with the message to witty or politicised effect
'I discovered a hand-written message of all the things McQueen wished to achieved in his life and scrawled it over the image,' says Thurlow of his cover for The Face. 'Amazingly, he achieved virtually all these things'
'With each cover, I take a perfect mass-produced object and turn it into a fucked up one-off, full of my thoughts and feelings,' he says
'If I make a mistake, I won't try and change it. It's the opposite of retouching - I emphasise the flaws,' the illustrator explains
'My drawings can take a few days to do, so it's inevitable that my own thoughts and feelings are etched on them,' he says. 'The covers become quite autobiographical over that time period'
While drawing Lily Allen for Elle, Thurlow 'listened to all her music and wrote how I felt about it all over her body,'
He changed the cover line on his Muse image, to reflect Helena Christensen's zoned-out expression
'My drawings are a dialogue between the original image and how I'm feeling,' says the illustrator
