Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis

The Steel City seems to generating an abundance of fresh sounds (see the "Leave You Suckers With Your Auditory Sickened..." post from March) and equally dope art.

Representing The Hantu Collective and The Happy Happy Poster Club whilst producing his own fresh brand of illustration, George Law's juxtaposing of delicate colourscapes and razor-sharp stylised characters works a treat in my eyes. There is almost dark humour behind some of his pieces; where christmas decorations turn into monsters and monsters creep up on unsuspecting kids.Whether or not this is his way of addressing the ugliness of the materialistic ghost of Christmas present/s (The Hantu Collective specialise in ethically sourced and produced clothing) or simply because it looks dope - either way it's pretty stunning.

Incase you were pondering on the title of this post and it's irrelevance to George's work - I'm going to leave you with this final image - it caught my eye a while back and straight away a certain lyric sprung to mind...

Get a load of this!
