Raised and working out of London, artist Ben Turnbull has dedicated his creativity to childhood nostalgia, mixing iconic toys and figures with the dark truth of American violence. Some of his artwork consists of gumball machines filled with weapons, or comic book heroes holding the decapitated heads of dictators the American government has sacrificed lives […]

You wanna know something personal about the Madman? The original Converse vs. Undefeated Poorman Weapon is easily the favorite shoe in my wardrobe. If it were up to me, and my imaginary girlfriend had no say, I’d wear them every day till they were battered and torn and tearing from the soles. Lucky for me […]
