Ben Newman
On Thursday night I went along to the opening of Ben Newman’s ‘Masks’ exhibition in East London. The work was brilliant and worked incredibly well as a series, the basement was full of Newman’s mask illustrations which were carefully crafted and printed to perfection as well as some physical versions (my personal favourites) and the...

Her work displays a real level of maturity, with both confident and effective use of colour and...

The work is stunningly clean & effective – using grid systems to...

Oi Polloi – Pica-Post
Oi Polloi is without doubt one of my favourite shops in Manchester. Located in the city’s ‘Northern Quarter’, what the store lacks in size it more than makes up for with the quantity of quality brands it stocks. They’ve began to produce a bi-annual zine entitled “Pica-Post” to showcase ”the seasons best clothing and footwear from...
