Minimalist Cartoon Characters In Lego
“Imagine” is a new Lego campaign by Hamburg advertising agency Jung von Matt. The name alone sets high expectations, but if anyone can invoke the word “imagine” beyond the late John Lennon, it would be a beloved Danish toy company built upon imagination. It’s a series of minimalist Lego designs based upon some of our […]

James Hunter
A new friend and I have been bonding over music – his, specifically, as he’s got a huge selection of vinyl and some truly quality taste. He introduced me to James Hunter the other week, and I was immediately taken with it: I love 1950s soul. Imagine my surprise, then, when friend informs me that […]
