Hand made a pair of 70s inspired bell bottoms. Possible my new favourite clothing article. Might just have to buy more material and make a couple more as I just can't get enough of these oversize flares. Before and after pictures!

Photo shoot for Nicky Clarke

Some beautiful images i collaborated with for some images for the Nicky Clarke salon in Soho.  I was in my element when i got given the 1970s styling theme. I went all out on my research, watch so many amazing 70s films. Then began sourcing jewellery from the organic jewellery company Mor and then all the garments were from Beyond Retro . Beautiful models and a wonderful team so i was really happy with these final studio pieces.   

Doncaster Tattoo Jam

Day 2 We are at it again, out and about at another tattoo convention. However this ones a little more locally supporting, mainly hosting spots for U.K based tattooist at the Tattoo Jam in Doncaster.  The Tattoo Jam was held over at the Doncaster Race horses, which is quite a building, with a epic balcony view and 3 floor access of grub, goods, beer and tattooist there was lots to see and do over the weekend.  My pal Gracey was at this years convention.

At home with Grace Neutral

                            At Home with my friend Grace. Over the weekend, i took a lil trip down to London. Along my journey i got to stay with my old friend Grace, otherwise known as Grace Neutral.  Over the years Grace Neutral has been experimenting with endless possibilities of Body Modification. And when i say endless i'm talking, split tongue, navel removal, facial scarification, pixie ears and eyeball tattoos, this chick is all for it. With her beginning with re-molding faces at madame Tussauds to killing her piercing apprenticeship (whilst piercing holes though my chops ) and then slowing but surely making her mark within the tattoo biz niz. Now working at good times in Shoreditch,  Grace is now tattooing full time, mandalas here and there but totally in her element. so nice to see your friends moving in such a positive directions, making money doing something they love and constantly creating art.
