Bird x Steve McCracken Cloth
Steve McCracken aka 'NONE HERE' is a gifted artist from Devon, who spends much of his time filling the streets with colour; painting and pasting wherever he goes. Steve's iconic cloth design brings a chaotic energy using his signature bird head symbol. The single bird head coloured in represents the individual whilst the others stand for the issues and challenges we face day to day. At the same time it expresses the idea that everyone has something special about them. You have something special about you, as does the person next to you and the person next to them.

Seeing out 2020 from the middle of the Atlantic
2020 taught me a lot, and I think the main thing is to not get affected or upset by situations outside of our control. We’re very grateful to be sharing this experience. The main lesson is to ‘loosen our grip’ on the things we can't change, and stop trying to control everything, and focus on enjoying the present moment.
Errr, there's been a few changes around here...
