Stephen Doyle's dollar bill illustrations

Through The New York Times Sunday Book Review, I've rediscovered the striking illustration work of Stephen Doyle. He recently created a series of four beautifully defaced American dollar bills which accompany book reviews for money-related titles.

review of Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite

review of A Crash Course in the Future of Finance

review of The Rise and Fall of Bear Stearns

review of The Devil's Casino

These aren't Stephen Doyle's first appropriated money illustrations. Back in 2009, his "Let's dump the greenback" dollar bill appeared in Wired.

Maybe best of all is his 3-D sculptural bill for the cover of Wired magazine in March 2010.

This year Stephen Doyle won the National Design Award for Communication Design. Print magazine also included him and his wife Gael Towey in their feature on Design Couples.
