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!

This issue has a few different connections to myself as ill explain….

Jilted Royalty sponsors Shiest Dee (front cover)

It also gives away an A1 size poster of myself,
shot at the studio of The Belfort Tattoo Family in France.

Shiest will be flying from Switzerland to England in a couple months along with a few other special faces to shoot the next Jilted Royalty lookbook.

All shiest’s tattoos were done by friends of mine Christian Nguyen + Greg Laraigne = INK VADERS

….Alex Mister P is also in this issue who I am working closely with at the moment.
The Jilted Royalty + Mister P collaboration is 90% finished and in ‘my opinion’ will be one of Jilted’s best releases so far!

.

….I am also working closely with Rise at the moment and we have something very big in store for Rise Magazine 15! (September issue)
