Maybe you follow street wear and street culture and as such, have inevitably run across Giant’s work in your circle at some point through his Rebel 8 line.

Whatever way in which you’ve become familiar with the man and underground brand that is Mike Giant, then you know his name implies quality and roots in the scene. Currently, Giant has a zine that chronicles his travels in Australia during 2007 available for purchase at Izrock.com. The zine flips in format, respectively covering Sydney in one specific visual orientation and Melbourne in the corollary, of that orientation. (Think of it in much the same way Complex is laid out with the editorial and buyer’s guide, set in opposite vertical directions.)
