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!

Candy ‘X’ Ichiban ‘X’ MHVH

A couple months ago I was contacted by MixMag photographer Tamsin Mae who told me the magazine wanted to do a day in the life type article on myself and my store. The piece was for a blog on their new Fashion + music site which they released a couple weeks ago.

For this i spoke to the lads at Ichiban and arranged a sale day in store. To tie the fashion n music together I also planned Candy Store’s 2nd collab event with MHVH at The Rainbow.

Cue started over an hour before we opened

By 2pm we’d done the lot, only a few Tee’s left!

After a busy day what better to cheer up the lads than a visit from = ‘the’ Prada wearing Ice Man, @RealBigBoothy

….Few mixed drinks at the shop to celebrate the day then its party time!

Jilted Youth! (some of)

Teeth on full display! (Meaning I’m SMASHED!)

As usual everything went exactly to plan and everyone had a good day/night!

……..Until next time!
