A Maryland Institute College of Art faculty member is making waves for his New Yorker cover that depicts President Donald Trump in a boat - rudder in hand - as he blows at a sail that resembles a white Klu Klux Klan hood.

Set to release next week, the magazine cover design by David Plunkert, a MICA illustration faculty member and graphic designer, provides commentary in light of Trump's response to the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville last weekend that left three dead. A car drove into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one, and two police officers died after their helicopter crashed while surveying the scene.

"President Trump's weak pushback to hate groups - as if he was trying not to alienate them as voters - compelled me to take up my pen," Plunkert told the New Yorker.

"A picture does a better job showing my thoughts than words do; it can have a light touch on a subject that's extremely scary."

Plunkert's tweet of the cover, posted yesterday, has already amassed more than 30,000 retweets and 100,000 likes. It's the first time he's designed an illustration for the magazine's cover, according to his tweet.

Jim Carrey's disappearance from the big screen has left fans wondering what he's been up to. The answer is here, and it's pretty amazing.

Jim Carrey was once the king of movie comedies, but he's been something of a recluse on the big screen over the last several years. His last string of starring roles came in 2013 and 2014 with the releases of "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," "Kick-Ass 2," and "Dumb and Dumber To," all of which misfired with critics and struggled at the box office. Although he appeared in a supporting role in this year's "The Bad Batch," he was unrecognizable and rejected all press opportunities to support the film.

All of this begs the question: What in the world has Jim Carrey been up to? He has provided an answer with his new short documentary, "I Needed Color." The six-minute video was uploaded to Vimeo two weeks ago but has recently gone viral, becoming a Staff Pick on the streaming platform and racking up over 2 million views.

The documentary finds Carrey hard at work in his art studio, and it features some truly jaw-dropping paintings made by the actor. Carrey picked up art six years ago as a way to "heal a broken heart," and it's produced some of his best work ever. Seriously, these paintings are incredible.

"I think what makes someone an artist is they make models of their inner life," Carrey said in the video. "They make something come into physical being that is inspired by their emotions or their needs or what they feel the audience needs."

Watch the documentary in full below.

In 1839, the world was forever changed by Louis Daguerre, a French man considered the father of modern photography. It wasn't long before his new light sensitive materials and developing process spread to the United States. As you can imagine, very few of these original images have survived, but there are a few photos from the 1840's that remain intact. This video shows off some of the first photos ever taken in America!

It's mind blowing to stop and think about how these photos represent the earliest true image of our country in existence. This is as far back as we can physically see. While many talented painters existed before photography was born, portraits and landscapes, no matter how realistic, could not escape the limitations of artistic interpretation and skill. These snapshots in time are the furthest back we can go without relying on our imagination. How lucky we are to have preserved them.

When reviewing the security footage from outside his house in Austin, Texas, Al Brooks spotted an unusual sight: a bird seems to hover past the camera with its wings completely stationary. Of course it wasn't really hovering (and no, it's not suspended by strings) but rather the frame rate of the camera matched the flaps of the bird's wings perfectly resulting in a stroboscopic illusion. This is the same stroboscopic effect you might see in a video of airplane propellers that aren't moving or when the wheels on a car appear to be frozen. (via Swiss Miss, Neatorama)

Want to see what kind of work goes into turning a masterful photograph into an iconic print? Pablo Inirio, the master darkroom printer who works at Magnum Photos' New York headquarters, has personally worked on some of the cooperative's best-known images. A number of his marked-up darkroom prints have appeared online, revealing the enormous amount of attention Inirio gives photos in the darkroom.

Sarah Coleman ofThe Literate Lens writes that Inirio's tiny darkroom has many of these squiggle- and number-filled prints just casually lying around. Not just any ol' prints, mind you, but some of history's most well-known images.

The comparison images above show photographer Dennis Stock's iconic portrait of James Dean in Times Square. The test print on the left shows all the work Inirio put into making the final photo look the way it does. The lines and circles you see reveal Inirio's strategies for dodging and burning the image under the enlarger, with numbers scattered throughout the image to note different exposure times.

Coleman wonders whether the magic of seeing this process will carry over at all into our new digital age:

Over the last fifteen years, almost every photographer I've interviewed has waxed poetic about that "magical" experience of seeing an image develop in chemicals for the first time. You have to wonder whether today's young photographers will rhapsodize as much about the first time they color-calibrated their monitors.

Here's a similar comparison photo of a portrait of Muhammad Ali, captured by Thomas Hoepker in 1966:

A portrait of photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, captured by Bob Henriques during Martin Luther King's march on Washington:

Finally, a portrait of Audrey Hepburn, captured by photographer Dennis Stock:

Back in 2009, Magnum Photos tweeted two photographs showing Inirio at work in his darkroom. "Pablo Inirio, our Dark Room Printer at work," the captions say:

You should definitely give Coleman's original 2012 piece a read. It's an interesting look into the mind of a darkroom master as he works in a rapidly changing industry.
