Man and his pen.

There are a range of things that I post about on this blog, but art hasn't really been one of them although it is something that I enjoy and am fascinated by. One of my close friends has always been an incredible drawer throughout the 7 years that I have known him, and now his simplistic style of pen drawing and mixed media is better than ever. 
Marcus Dobbs has always shown a love towards buildings and architecture. This is bought across in his drawings and artwork beautifully through the interpretation of iconic London landmarks with the use of pattern and repetition, enabling him to create these impressive pieces of artwork.

PAPERCUT Magazine - Burning Amber Gentle Doe

This is another assisting shoot that I did in the summer of 2012, again assisting with Russell. As you can probably tell by the previous shoots I have posted, I prefer to work in menswear and style on menswear shoots, so this was a chance to gain some experience in womenswear. This shoot, named 'Burning Amber, Gentle Doe' was published in Papercut Magazine in October 2012.

GT - Kirk Norcross

This is a shoot that I assisted on in February 2012. It was a cover shoot for the June 2012 issue of Gay Times. I worked alongside stylist Russell Philip Peek on this shoot with Kirk Norcross from 'The Only Way Is Essex'. I have more images in the printed version, but this is all I could find online at the moment. This was my first published assisting job so I was pretty happy with everything! :)

Despite not watching TOWIE, I couldn't resist getting a picture! And my little sister probably would have killed me if I hadn't (this was at the end of the shoot, do excuse me gross appearance!)

MERCY RULE - Good Right Hook.

Once again, apologies for the lack of posting recently. I've had quite a busy year of interning and styling shoots of my own, as well as assisting on a lot of shoots so I thought I'd give you all a look at some of the stuff I've been upto.
This first shoot is from a project I did at the end of my second year at uni. It was for a menswear style and sports magazine I produced and named 'Mercy Rule'.
This shoot took place in 'Islington Boxing Club' in North London and took more or less a whole day.
