Le Crush 034 : Mr Justin Poulter
Aka. Justin Poltergeist
Aka. One Horse Town
Right, I have a bone to pick with you, Mr P. Back in the day your work was original and fucking cool. Unfortunately, you went and designed Bruce Willis‘s logo, which, unfortunately, made me lose respect for you Somewhat (somewhat) because, unfortunately, the interweb is a small place and I, too, have seen the work of glorious Parra, and have waited for some designer to rip it from the heart of europe into cape town and claim it as their own and win the glory and love of the CTCKs, leading tom loads more cool work and possibly even the holy grail of Birdie awards. Don’t get me wrong, I dig your work, you are a very talented boy indeed, and I really like your Bruce designs. I used to frequent places like Orchard Bank and Lepht…exhibitions in the Bin. Now it’s the good ol woodstock exhibitions, oddballs like Night of 1000 Drawings and any Vice, A-Store, Feiyue or Salon 91 party.

Dear Le Crush,
You couldn’t possibly have run out of good looking men in Cape Town? Why you chose Poulter is beyond me. Maybe you’re having a bad day. You didn’t even have many good things to say about him (i would struggle too). I think you felt like ranting about him under the pretence of a crush, cos if you find him attractive then someone else must have chosen Crushes 1 – 33 for you.
In fact, i see that dude who ate the singing burger in the Chicken Licken advert walking in Long Street alot, maybe he can be Le Crush 35, he has a sexy ginger afro…
Frank Manson is a hater.

His partner in crime, Simon Berndt, is SO much hotter.

you didn’t have anything positive to say? whats that about? your 34th crush is someone you clearly resent. The article was in poor taste, and doesn’t stand true to what 15000 people have read before on this blog. Is this where lecrush meets heat magazine?
Speaking as a designer myself, I think Justin’s logo is better.

“Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination.
Devour films, music, books, paintings, poems, photographs, conversations, dreams, trees, architecture, street signs, clouds, light and shadows.
Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.
Authenticity is invaluable.
Originality is non-existent.
Don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it.
Remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to’.
I stole this from Jim Jarmusch.”

Parra is Dutch. Get your facts straight before sounding dumb and talking about ‘designs’
