A little off theme I know, but with working in the art industry, every now and again I come across a piece or work that is stunning, highly investable and simply 'blows my socks off!'.
This can be said about the new release from Storm Thorgerson entitled PF40. PF40 is a tribute to Pink Floyd's 40 years in the music industry. For those readers who have never heard of Storm Thorgerson click here to view some of his previous releases and read below for a brief history of the man himself:
