Summer 22 Box: Felix Griffiths
Artist: Felix GriffithsContact Links: Instagram / Web Store Coming Soon
For our late-2022 revamp of our boxes we handed the reins to one of our resident artists, Felix Griffiths.
To come up with the design, we gave Felix the prompt word of ‘Wrestlers’. Playing specifically with the idea of wrestling masks, he created a variety of bizarre illustrations, one for each panel of the box. We weren’t surprised to see some of his usual go-tos in there (skulls, fire and a couple of fat pigeons).
Each panel has a definite comic-book style, playful in some p ..read more

I really, really like the early seasons. There’s so many tear-jerker moments. They’re just so solid, and work like short films, where you don’t need any prior kn ..read more

– Firstly, how is life post – mullet?
I really really really miss it.
I see that you go through phases of including very specific subjects in your work i.e. skulls / fire / luchadores. What are you currently into drawing and was there a specific moment of inspiration?
I’ve definitely been inspired by a lot of tattoo designs and recently bought Duncan X‘s ‘Book Of Skulls’ which has some awesome ..read more

‘Fisherman’.
Worn by Max Whetter. 2021
Max Whetter
Max is a painter based locally, here in Cornwall and was kind enough to invite us to his studio. Max’s portraits are both painterly and graphic; haunting and serene.
I’m a painter who likes to work on sheets of Perspex. My work is a reflection on cultural pressures for men to behave or act in a certain way, with ridiculous modes of exaggerated toxic masculinity and how these was presented to me growing up.
