One of my favorite things about this magazine is being able to work with some of the best photographers working today. I say that all the time, but as a former advertising art director, it’s been drilled into me that great photography is not only beautiful, it’s a good business decision.
Andrew Bush, a photographer clearly bored with the daily grind of actually driving a car in L.A. (who could blame him? I’d have to tape my wrists up right good before getting into a car each time if I lived there), decided to make his life a little more interesting by somehow leaning over and [...]
…but it’ll rock you like a hurricane.
Shooting a cover always involves two things: a bitchin’ car and a beautiful girl. Well, OK – THREE things: a bitchin’ car, a beautiful girl and a fantasy scenario.What I mean is, the trick to making something amazing out of a tried-and-true combination like car/girl, is creating a dream sequence out of it.

One of Ed Roth’s coolest paintings and one of the best album cover of all time’s original art went unsold on Ebay this week. Painted in 1982 during the Knott’s-Berry-Farm-conversion-to-Mormonism era, Roth took the job with assurance it was g-rated material.

Max Schaaf builds neat bikes. And if you have any doubt about that, look no further than his blog – which is really just a cracked, Vaseline-rimmed pane of rippled window glass into the brain behind the bikes.
