has jumped aboard the bandwagon that is the blogging world, bit late I know, I hope there's a little corner left I can have.
I have come to blog about my daily encounters with all things fashion & art mainly, but am sure to go on about film, music, anything I find interesting really… Like a lot of people nowadays I like to consider myself some sort of creative, hoping to go into fashion, I'm into illustration, textiles, art, photography...
I do not seem to find people are as fascinated by things as me. My family are very narrow minded, great, so loving & supportive of me, but not so creative, narrow minded I say to them, except for my Nain (grandmother) it's a welsh term :) she is my biggest inspiration, I'll introduce you later. Who I do not get 'it' from, as she is my dad's adoptive mother, perhaps i get my flare from my dads dad, who he's never officially met, but saw at a garage once, he went to price a car so he could meet his father, not as tragic as I'm making out, gotta get the readers aven't I. talk about a tangent.
I feel I have so much to say, past & present, what I'm about.
I've been trying to get round to this for so long, I'm quite the procrastinator, let me tell you, I have been drafting this opening post all week, so if you find any hint of wit, comic value it sure is not spontaneous. This could be my 1st & last post, but hopefully, can't believe I feel the need to quote HSM, but…. ''the start of something new'' once this is outta the way, I'll run with it.
I am so driven by what I do, aiming for perfection, I find that I tend to dumb down what I do trying not to take it too seriously, because of how much I live for this, god I sound like an artist now!
I have been an avid follower of you bloggers, Knightcat, Susie Bubble, Tavi, Laia, Zana of Garbage Dress, Chip and the rest, checking usually after breakfast & before bed, it gives you enough time to find something to write about, c'mon!
Since the end of two years at college, where I studied a National Diploma in fashion & clothing, A-level in textiles, CAD illustration, Art History… it was the best two years, and i got triple distinction & an A at A-level :) My days are now spent doing half day shifts working at my high street H&M, that is just until I start a BA-hons in fashion, at Manchester Metropolitan Uni in september, which I am soooo looking forward to! I'm gaining confidence, growing up, earning my own money in my 1st job & enjoying learning a lot of the visual stuff, while my friends still study forms of art at college until we go on to degrees all over the country.
I use the other half of the day to draw, design clothes, read fashion mags, watch catwalk shows & interviews on youtube (takes up a lot of my life) I make clothes, discover new music, currently listening to the Kills a lot. I do have some friends, I find time for them at the weekends :)
can't get the hang of the posing just yet, so here's some natural shall we say, shots of me, probably a better way to get to know me, seeing me in my natural habitat, I'm the guy in the skinny jeans, stripes/check, leather jacket, plenty of bangles & the occasional trilby ;)
