Church of London | Huck Magazine, Little White Lies, Geoff McFectridge & Where The Wild Things Are
The next issues of Little White Lies and Huck will look remarkably good on your newsagent's shelves: the magazines' covers are two parts of a single illustration by Geoff McFetridge...
The Church Of London, the creative agency founded by Rob Longworth, Danny Miller and Paul Willoughby, publishes, art directs and designs both film magazine Little White Lies and surf, skate and snowboarding style title, Huck.
The forthcoming issues feature Spike Jonze's Where The Wild Things Are in some way: the director is interviewed in Huck (hence he appears on the cover alonside some rather intrusive "wild things"), while Little White Lies is wholly dedicated to the new film, based on Maurice Sendak's children's book (main character, Max, features on their cover).

Nostalgia on Wheels | One Hell of a Site

The Solitary Arts
The Solitary Arts is a skateboard company started by Geoff McFetridge & Yong-Ki Chang. For a $1 and a self addressed stamped envelope, they'll send you some stickers. For $2 and a self-addressed stamped envelope, they'll send you their newspaper. For everything else, whether you skate or collect artsy stuff, buying their stuff is probably a good investment.
