Illustrator Sandra Dieckmann

Hackney based illustrator Sandra Dieckmann produces the most amazing work.
Her illustrations are so beautiful and evoke something I find difficult to put into words.
It's like dreams , encounters from deep within and memories of a forgotten world .





These prints are available from her online SHOP

There is also a video of Sandra painting our favourite FOREST here

Warpaint

Recently we went to see these girls play at the Brixton Academy and we loved it.
Beautiful harmonies with haunting guitar nice deep bass and great drums.
Very trippy and great to dance to with your eyes closed……

Welcome Maddy !!!

We are so excited to introduce you to our first "guest bloggeress" mademoiselle Maddy



Maddy will be sharing some of her super art with us

This one is about a dream I had when the sky was fire, all things on the land turned to soot in a matter of days. Only a small fairy and I survived on a small raft drifting to sea

Conformity


Conformity is the death of individuality…..Individuality equates to personality - Be the person that does not exist for others

TeEn CultUre


What are we thinking when we talk TEEN CULTURE?
Brightly coloured magazines with spotty boy bands on the front cover and cheap lipstick in the bag?
Or super styled skinny models in unaffordable clothes which will never come in a size 12 but only in 4-6?
No !!! We want some reality!! Moving away from the marketing gone wrong scene, creating something we can relate to….



We want you to embrace the wolves within you and smile at them
