Le Gun- Selling Out?
We first read about Le Gun, a collective of art grads from the Royal College of Art, when we read this article in Eye last year.

So imagine our surprise when we saw this recent post on Eye's blog calling them sell-outs due to their recent mainstream success. Very interesting. jh
