Everyone knows I am a big Frank Frazetta fan and being the age that I am, it strikes me as almost normal to be so. If Frank Frazetta is the king of fantasy art, then Boris Vallejo is the crown prince. Since the late 60’s, Vallejo has not only painted ...

Rig Out, the in-house magazine put together by our very own Glenn Kitson and kindly published by Oi Polloi is hitting the shelves these days. It's a very noble and good notion for a specialist store such as Oi Polloi to do publish a magazine, not unheard of in the ...

Dylan Gold is a furniture designer based in the US - and despite the descriptive name of this table, don't let it fool you. The discarded industrial materials that make up this series of tables are far from wasted. Various wood scraps, off-cuts and excess supply from local shops are ...

With all the recent online ramblings of how great Champion are- I do still question that fact- here comes an interesting piece from the good chaps at Superdenim.
