By the time Suleyman Ergun was 21 years old, he was the world’s most prolific and powerful seller of smack. Known throughout the junkie and police communities as the North London Turk, Ergun and his gang flooded Britain and Europe with heroin for five years.
For his pains, the former factory worker got mansions filled with cash and unlimited underworld cachet. At the height of his powers he was a multimillionaire and his favorite tipple was a bottle of champagne with eight grams of cocaine dumped into it. Today, he is almost penniless and lives with his mum. He’s 39. What happened?

I really enjoy Mr Brainwash’s work. A Frenchman who started out documenting the street art and graffiti scenes before joining them himself. Here’s his take on the election.

I started getting interested in magazine design when I began working on this project. That led me to a bunch of really cool companies doing exceptional design in the publishing industry.
One of those, Pentagram were given the job of redesigning The Atlantic, a popular U.S. magazine. In fine form, they wrote up an extensive overview of what they got up to.

Japanese papergoods concern, Muji, have a new take on dayplanner design. The standard linear approach has been replaced by nothing more than a simple clock and a lot of blank space. Bravo.

I walked over to Greenwich Village today to eat lunch and check out Banksy’s “Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill“.
Lunch was good, the installation was better. Outside the store front was a FOX FIVE NEWS crew and perhaps unsurprisingly, a bunch of families with little children running around.
