Okay now for some TRUE CULTURE. My favourite artist right now (and probably the last few years) is my man Tyrell Winston. Based In NY his work is heavily influenced by sports, culture, found objects and the New York City streets as a backdrop. I really enjoy the range of his output. Usually my tastes aren’t really geared towards BIG pieces, as I can never get my head round the scale of what I am looking at, but his work is really good - the paintings especially. I want to work with him this year on some projects for my brand.

This is not a promotion; I just wanted to share it because I like it, and I don't have anyone to share it with.
Do you think all modern aspiring designers are immersed in avant-garde forms and dark aesthetics? I thought so too, but Spooky Woods offers a worthy alternative.
He specializes in sculpting various silhouettes from clay: both well-known characters and his own inventions. His work is insanely beautiful, lively, bright, and attractive. The aesthetic of his figures reminds games like Never Hood, or animations like Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, and others; and his fusion of vibrant, colorful identity with significant figures from hip-hop culture is sure to catch the eye of any fan.
The artist's range includes unique t-shirts with prints of original, distinctive characters, clay figurines, skateboards, and much more. Everything looks unique, creatively played with, and executed to an impeccably high standard.

My style of collecting tattoos now is similar to art collecting where I choose specific artists I know suit my look and I specifically want to collect their artworks on me. So that could be an option if you decide that’s the way you would like to start.
I love a range of different styles artwork but it’s important for me to have tattoos that look like I was born with them in my skin than tattoos that look out of place or don’t suit my vibe, so when I choose an artist I look at their portfolio and know immediately when I want their work on my body versus when I would just appreciate their work on others bodies.
That said it’s based on your collecting style too. most importantly finding an artist that has a consistent portfolio (doesn’t copy off other artworks that are not specific to their style) is something I look out for. A consistent artist would be able to give you the specific style you’re looking for in their own unique way.

They are my favorite tattoos ever by a very special person and artist. There is a surplus of tattoo artists on the planet now and especially in nyc but he is one of the best to me. He can interpret anything you dream up in a dope way or you can get something amazing from his sketchbook and the tattoos look almost drawn on your body with a multicolor bic pen but in the most perfect and trill way. Get one before it’s too late you won’t regret it.

It recently started to snow pretty bad in Scotland, where I reside, so it seemed only fitting I upgrade my wardrobe. Not that I ever need much of an excuse. About 4 years ago Mister Mort posted someone in Paris wearing North Face down pants WITH a North Face Nuptse and I have been obsessed with finding something similar for when the temperature really drops. Nike currently has these bad boys on sale and are going to be a winter staple for me for years to come.

I don’t read as much as I should, but I bought the Zodiac book by Robert Graysmith a while back and recently during this latest lockdown I have been making my way through that. True crime is lame as hell, and does nothing for me but this is interesting. And dark AF!David Fincher made a film a few years back aswell tarring the god Jake Gyllenhall, aswell as a host of other big names, which I would also thoroughly recommend. Its kinda longer than anything I would normally choose to watch these days, but my attention span lasted which means its worth it.

Full disclosure: I'm not into ALL musicals. I wouldn’t say I am a musical guy. I’ve never seen Rent, Miss Saigon, Cats, and certainly haven’t seen that Cats film with Taylor Swift. And don’t mention Hamilton to me. HOWEVER the musicals I AM into Les Mis and *ahem* 🥴 Grease LOL (although only really for the ONJ smash ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’) I am into in a BIG way. With that being said, I got back into eBay recently and managed to grab a Les Miserables poster from the original 1987 Broadway run. I have my eye on this for a few years now and thought I should pull the trigger finally. I will frame and hang in my bathroom.
