NEW Junk Food Originals, The Authentic Vintage Collection

Looking to add to your vintage tee collection? Look no further! Junk Food have just introduced this brand new ORIGINALS collection and boy, are we chomping at the bit to get our hands on some of these prize beauties!

Incorporating that vintage, lived-in, loved and faded look we all love from a real vintage tee, Junk Food have really focused on the finer details and used hand drawn graphics, real vintage fabrics, special washes and dye treatments to re-create an authentic and unique range of tees which also feature classic prints from a nostalgic, bygone era. All hail Junk Food, we applaud this new range for Spring Summer '11 and can't wait to flaunt our new(ish) tees at music festivals, in sunny parks, on our hols, down the pub and well, everywhere!

Cycling Superheroes

Being a keen cyclist I was pedalling my way across the world wide web the other night when I came across some some fantastic illustrations by graphic designer/illustrator/fellow bike fiend Mike Joos.

If like me, you grew up reading comics you'll know some superheroes can fly through the air, some can scale skyscrapers and others can metamorphose into other beings. However, I don't remember them ever resorting to riding bicycles! Joos, has created the funny side of these superheroes with these illustrations in which each character rides a customized bike. What is even more clever is that each of the bicycles is somehow connected to the character that sits on it.

See a selection of our favourite bike-themed Joos pieces below:

Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats.....

Warner Bros Animation have teamed up with Japanese animation company Studio 4°C (The people behind Batman: Gotham Knights & The Animatrix) to reboot the Thundercats series later this year.

If you don't remember the Thundercats from the first time round, it was a cheesy 80's cartoon that followed the adventures of a group of cat-like humanoid aliens and it was AWESOME. Here's pictures of the original and the revamped cast to jog your memory.

Cartoon Network are planning to show an initial 26 episodes and it marks Warner Bros. Animation's first ever anime series!

Check out the trailer and let us know what you think....

Here's what Warner Bros. Animation has to say about the revival:
