About Me

I’m a lady that loves her music especially anything from the late 80s early 90s hip-hop scene. Spose allot of my style and the way I draw Is inspired a lot by that scene. Especially big Chunky Gold Earrings/ Nike High Tops/ Air Force Ones/ Reebok workouts/ Shell suits/ Big Puffer Jackets/ Trilby hats and anything Adidas… The time before hip-hop was taken over by shit rappers and commercial branding! When people actually had something to say. Through listening to hip-hop I started to discover the roots of it all and still do love finding original breaks. I love artists such as the Stylistics, Isaac Hayes, Rose Royce, JBs, Ohio Players, Sylvia Striplin to name a few. Also legends such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters who pioneered a whole music generation and gave us the Stones. I’ve been a bedroom dj for too long now and I’m now beginning to have to urge to share my music tastes with the masses! My other love is fashion, which is something I’ve always been obsessed with! Since I was young everyone new I wanted to work within that field. I’ve just started my degree in print design, which I direct with a fashion perspective. Before settling down I did a year of work experience with lots of different Stylists, Tailors, Fashion Designs, Print Designers and fitted in two Exhibitions. I’m a believer in working hard and think if you’re true to what you do then there’s no reason why you can’t be successful!

My Blog

Matchboxe Designs from the 1950-1960s...

This is a selection of some matchbox labels from around the world but the majority are Eastern European from the 1950s and 60s. I really love the layout, graphics and colors used!...
