Le Gun

Following the crit from the other week, Ben said I should look at a collective/publication by a group of artists called Le Gun, who met as graduates at RCA and formed in 2004. It is made up of 5 illustrators and two designers.

On their website it states they 'create idiosyncratic imagery, which blends a punk, occult, pop and surrealist aesthetic' - which sounds really quite amazing and perfect to me.

'LE GUN’s founding members collaborate in the curation of each issue, selection being undertaken with ideals of originality and eccentricity in mind. 
LE GUN is more than a collection of artwork; LE GUN is a story of stories and stands as an independent work in its own right. Somewhere between pulp fiction and artist’s edition'

What I enjoy about the look of their publications is that they maintain this weird tone, and keep in touch with their interests and influences but manage to create an end product that is professional-looking and well curated.
