Yes, we know that we’ve already posted a flier in this week’s Pole Position, but since we didn’t get around to posting one last week and since, thematically, this one seems to go hand in hand with the Taun Taun flier, we thought you might give us a pass. This…

There’s just something about the earthy simplicity that perfectly represents the straightforward yet primal…

I pretty much fell in love with the pop-art styled hippy/hottie take on Shiva (I think that’s Shiva — my Hindu mythology is a little shaky) on this U.S. Pipe CD release poster the second I saw it. The style, the subject matter, the detail — all brilliant! Good to…
