I recently attended a Nike party, and took quite a lot of free magazines and promotional pieces, one particular item i most enjoyed was a magazine which had lots of artwork by one of my favorite graphic designers / illustrator / artist

He did a interview about a year ago which I thought would still be a good read for you all just

For his website just click his name . .
