‘All the Cream, None of the Crop’
From Nylon Guys magazine:

“We don’t review things we haven’t seen, bought, or used, and we don’t hype things that we don’t love. We keep it honest and that’s why our readers trust us,” explains Garrett Shane Bryant, founder of CrownDozen.com.

Bryant and his team of writers - most of whom are friends from his rural Kentucky home - have generated a content-rich site, hellbent on discovering the newest and next in art and culture. CrownDozen.com features interviews with comic-makers, artists, and illustrators - among them husband-and-wife illustration team Kozyndan and illustrator/painter Jeff Soto - and offers product reviews, event updates, and “Twelves,” the site’s amusing cache of Top 12 lists.

“Not everyone can or will buy $400 trainers,” says Bryant. “We’re just normal folk into cool shit and we like to tell you about it.” True dat.
