We’re extremely proud to present the first episode of a new series ‘Vaguely Highbrow’ from the mind of Mike O’Shea. Mike takes his love and lust for art, interesting characters and hard hitting journalism, puts it in a bowl and bakes at 200 degrees resulting in this delightful insightful mini doc. Who better than to kick this off as a subject than the cover artist of our 34th issue and close friend of Mike (who did the cover art for our 22nd issue) and the mag Mr Jacob Ovgren.
Watch below to get a better insight into the mind of this beautiful man and re-familiarise yourself with his prolific work who “works for Polar and a few other brands when he has the time.” Oh and also has one of best kickflips in the game.
Reckon we should run Jacob’s other cover idea in the future?
