The Import

Already 2 years passed since TheImport blog was started and our collection of posts is constantly growing. So we decided to bring most popular ones into one place. That is to make your search for great creative content easier. And also to give big hugs to TheImport team who wrote these posts as the time went by. As this blog will continue its search for all things art, not format, and not standard, here goes your best posts from the past. Enjoy and let us know what do you think!

We used to allow great people to take over TheImport for a while. I mean post what they want to post. Blog post about passion they share and other things. We did good few posts and The Import Takeover by London based punk/fashion style illustrator MR.FRIVOLOUS  was one of the best. There are three parts to it. Check them all out here: first, second and last. Maybe you want to take over The Import with great blog post? Get in touch.
