Last Thursday I went down to London to see Mcbess at the Hayward Gallery
to catch up and see the mid stages of a live drawing he was doing
with another amazing artist Ugo Gattoni.
These pics don’t do their work any justice AT ALL!
Iv known mcbess a while now but its not until your next to him watching him work freehand and see the detailing close up that you realise how skilled this man is!
Me + Mcbess will be working together very soon on a Jilted collaboration
AND on a live paint project inside Candy Store.
….KEEP EM PEALED!
.
Checkout their websites!
Ugo’s site has a piece of artwork on it that took him 6months to complete,
the detail is out of this world!
(Anybody like MEAT + FISTING? ….Of course ya do!)
His website also has a super ‘ZOOM IN’ feature
which lets you see every detail of the art piece!

Around a month ago I got approached by somebody on behalf of Technodrome asking if i would be interested in him illustrating a piece based on myself.
I looked into him and this geeza’s work is SICK so of course I agreed!
My Artwork and Jilted designs come from a stencil based background so I can easily relate to his work!
(Checkout the vid below)
….Its not until you see someone in real life that you get a feel for a person.
Technodrome is definitely a genuine guy and very passionate about his work!
BIO
.
I wish him all the best for the future but by the looks of things he aint gonna need it!
Ill be meeting up with him in a few months when I hit NY,
iv got a few ideas in mind so keep your eyes pealed! 
ONE LOVE!

(His new website will be released soon!)
On July 22nd I opened my new shop ‘The Candy Store’
Many things have changed in my life over the last few years as people who have followed my blog from the beginning will know!
My change of career/life has been an uphill struggle and the hard work has been continuous to pull together all the things I have!
Despite this I wouldn’t have it any other way and looking back the struggle has definitely been worth it!
I wont stop doing what I do until I have achieved everything I set out to do around 4years ago!
The ‘pulling together’ is 1 thing but for me its the maintaining that has been the issue,
my mind is at times a volatile place and my actions are often uncontrollable.
(The opening of this store for me personally was a sign that things are heading in the right direction and I have finally achieved full self control!)
….Things can only get better, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
1st purchase of the day!
New Jilted ‘KEYS’ Tee + Diamonds snapback.
Stressed! ha
….Skanky Boy keeping the vibe going.
Taking 5mins to relax!
.
A big thanks to everyone who passed through the store for the opening,
I’ve got BIG things lined up for the near future of The Candy Store.
….This is only the beginning!
See you all soon!

Iv had a hectic few months so at the moment im constantly feeling worn out!
Saturday at 3am I had to get a taxi from Birmingham to London and get a 7:30am flight to Basel airport (Switzerland).
Then when I arrived there at 10am we had to drive down into Belfort (France)
….Once there i had 12hrs ‘work’ (ha) to do so the day had just began!
Driver was waiting at the airport for me with a cold drink and a big smile
I knew from then it was gonna be a good weekend! (as always!)
Hotel had reserved their best room for me + Lucas ! 107
Big smile for Dee n the lads as he meets me wearing a Tee I recognise!

Due to the 2days continual drinkin and loss of all flight info i had to get the taxi to the airport few hours early just in case.
JonDix was already heading to the airport so just jumped in with him.

Quiet flight home chillin with Jean.

The intention of this video isn’t to talk s##t about violence!
Everything said on this video was read from script,
its called ACTING!!!! (I’m good ye I know!)
This was a video installation for a friends final exam piece
of artistic video editing at the University of the Arts London.
(The other people that were ‘supposedly‘ in these situations would not be your local 9-5 bloke that works in the shop down the road!
They are also animals, it just so happens that 1 animal moved faster than the other!) ……..”Supposedly!”
The Truth, Half The Truth and Nothing Like The Truth!
