As the latest Mad Men season kicks off, ArtInfo takes a quick tour around the art and design of the award-winning television drama series. From the retro furniture, fashion and that Rothko hanging on Bert Cooper’s wall, the story—and accompanying photo gallery—shows just how meticulously crafted that AMC show really is.

In a more contemporary collection of images, UK style magazine Dazed Digital has released the shortlisted artists (and their works) of their Converse/Dazed 2010 Emerging Artists Award.

And if your still into that 'book' thing, the Booker Prize longlist has also been released.
