Carhartt Ads by Mark Chiarello
LEON – 1994 action film written and directed by French director Luc Besson.
Stars- Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, and Natalie Portman.
I don’t really like action films but this film is BAD! and WICKED lighting
Tattoo’s
I’ve been wanting a tattoo of my Grandma’s name for 8 years and still haven’t got it
When I was living in LA for a while my brother who’s got a few Tats said to get it done out there so I went into a tattoo shop on Melrose told the woman what I wanted she drew a rough sketch told me how much it would cost and said ‘my chairs empty right now, lets do it’ OMG! I crumbled under pressure I was so scared I said erm…… I just have to put more money on my parking BOY I was gone I didn’t expect her to say lets do it today, anyway I don’t think I’ll be getting one.
When I was at Uni I used to do Sketch book work which was just ideas, research and inspirations for shoots. Since I’ve left my new sketch book is BLANK because I’ve been using my desktop as a sketch book there’s icons everywhere, so I’m gonna get back on it and give my eyes a well needed BREAK from the computer.
My 2 favorite stories EVER in W Magazine are COME ON DOWN TOWN which was shot in New Orleans and WELCOME TO THE MOTOR CITY shot in Detroit and photographed by Bruce Weber
The images capture the community in New Orleans and Detroit
WELCOME TO THE MOTOR CITY
COME ON DOWN TOWN
OK so i’ve decided that I don’t actually want a bike because that would mean that
I have to ride it which would = EXERCISE
I don’t mind exercising but I don’t wanna turn up to place’s sweaty.
I used to ride and LOVED my bike but that was after school or on the summer holidays

So after interning at i-D for 2 months and working really hard on my portfolio and LIFE I’m shooting small projects for i-D Magazine YEAH BOi.
To be honest i-D has always been one of the magazines that I dreamt of my work being in and when I saw the spread I was like WOW!! I feel so blessed because I’m doing something that I LOVE and know that one day I’ll be able to go full time and with that thought I’m H A P P Y.
I’ve got a long way to go in my career but this shows me that HARD WORK definitely pays off.
bless. x

NATHAN SAWAYA- WOW!!
Nathan is an AMAZING! renowned LEGO brick artist
Lego reminds me of when I was younger my aunt D used to let my cousins and I buy anything we wanted in
Toys R Us on a budget (I can’t remember what it was, she’s tight so probably a FIVER or maybe £8 lol) and my little cousin always bought lego he was obsessed he had a huge box at home full of LEGO!
I have to show him this he’ll love i T and probably pass his obsession down to his son.
……. and a quaver for ME!
