FLICKR




So today I set up my flickr account as I am applying to Kingston University and required that I put up 10 Observational drawings, 10 Research and Development drawings, 10 Final Pieces and 10 things I like. So it's all set up and ready to view FINGERS CROSSED! http://www.flickr.com/photos/essielovesyou/

LAST TRAIN TO PARIS!

I love this album, I was rather skeptical at first and wasn't so tempted to hear the other songs but I DID and the songs are INCREDIBLE! Such a variety an mixture of different genre's of music. My ultimate favorite is Ass On The Floor, sometimes I feel like the lyrics make sense to me, even though its a club track there's some sad undertones which I LOVE!
Then all the other collabo's are just ill! PLEASE GO BUY!
.........i will

I'll bite you're head off!!!




Did a fashion shoot of my designs today outside college for my portfolio. These clothes were designed and created by me. The theme was reconstruct and destroy, So I crumpled the jacket and used silver pins for studs and faux hair. I also used metal fixtures from a hardware store for the militaristic style sweater and took studs from an old belt and hand-painted them in gold varnish.

Jacket: Albanero
Sweater: Albanero
Plaid Shirt: Models Own
Gold Chain: Models Own
Shorts: Topshop
Platform Boots: Topshop

Model: Zoe. W

Hole In My Soul

Just a cover I'm doing for my talented friend Kennedell who did a song recently ft. Dwayne named Hole In My Soul. Still deciding whether it's finished or not, probably not too much colour probably just emphasizing the black and white more

'you got a rope chain? YEAH MAN'-Master Shortie


I LOVE MY ROPE CHAIN! I wear it whenever I can wherever I can. It's just sooooo 80's! I got it from a stall in camden which seems to have disappeared now :S It's also where I got my high-waisted levi shorts with the awesome silver studs all over em. I advise every Fresh Prince lovin freak-a-zoid to get one ;)

this is my moment....

This is one of the three massive paintings I'm doing for my A2 project. This particular one is inpired by Nicki Minaj and J.M. Basquiat which I spent weeks on. I took particular pride, effort and stress in this particular painting using various mediums such as acrylic paint, coloured inks, spray paint, water-colour, colour pencil and stop-out (to make the writing stay clear from any paint). To me it's not really finished so I keep adding things and changing things here and there. Please leave comments...

BOXING KITTEN






I absolutely adore this label Boxing Kitten which uses a mix of traditional african fabric into delightful creations. I love the use of creepers and 5o's style garms. The Knowles' love the label too... has to be a good sign right? :)
