‘Snow White’ by Kim Yeong Jun for Singles Korea

I thought with it being almost Christmas I ought to post something a little festive & what better than a gorgeous snowy fashion editorial! I came across this editorial randomly a few weeks ago & since then I have been trying to find out a little more about the photographer behind it, Kim Yeong Jun with absolutely no luck. I can’t even find a website for him, which is really annoying, so I’ve linked to one showcasing a selection of his work. If you like this one, definitely have a look through, the rest is equally as beautiful.

I can’t help but compare this to Paolo Roversi’s work, one of my all time favourite photographers, it has that similar soft focus, painterly feel to it but it’s just a little sharper, a little more modern & I really like that. I love the way the light hits the model, it’s crisp but soft & really cuts through the dream like feel of the other elements making it feel so fresh.

I don’t think I even need to mention how perfect the styling is here, but it’s safe to say if the garments were black I’d happily be wearing these looks head to toe, though the more I look the more I’m craving some white pieces to add to my wardrobe…

Philip + Unicorns / ILLUSTRATION

July 9, 2012

Finally my copy of Ballad Of ‘Baby K’ has arrived! It seemed like it was never going to get here, the girls at Ballad even had to send me out a second copy, as the first one was MIA, I blame the weather & the postman!

I cannot describe what an amazing feeling it is to have a piece of your work published, but I think having something published in print is just that little bit extra special & amazing! I’ve had work published before online, but this was my very first piece in an actual magazine, something physical that I could hold & flip through. I think the fact that I’ve been reading Ballad Of since almost the very first issue also makes it feel even more special, it has been on my desk since it arrived & I think I must look through it at least once a day – almost as if to check that yes, my work is still in there!

Both pieces were drawn especially for the issue, I was originally going to send just one, but I couldn’t decide which I liked more so decided to submit both. This way I could leave it to the girls to decide which they preferred, so I was even more thrilled to receive an email back saying they wanted to use both! I had been going through a bit of a phase of being obsessed with drawing horses & when I heard that the theme was ‘Candy Pop’ the first thought that came to mind was ‘real life My Little Pony’! Both are so different to my usual darker style, but I think that’s why I enjoyed doing them so much, it was a nice change to do something so sugary & girly!

PS: If you would like a copy of the issue & are in London, it’s available from The Tate Galleries, Selfridges, Harrods & various newstands & newsagents around the city, you can also buy a copy online here!

Sushi / ILLUSTRATION

April 25, 2012

Click the image & enlarge for a better view, it’s become a little fuzzy with resizing!

This has been sitting on my desk for about 3 weeks in sketch form, I just couldn’t decide if I liked it enough to colour it & finish it off, really happy I did now though, as it turned out much better than expected!

It started off as a dream & I just couldn’t get the idea out of my head, so I sketched it out & messed around with the composition & positioning for ages, but just wasn’t happy with it no matter what I did, so I stuffed it down the side of my desk in frustration – this is where most things go I get frustrated with, drawings, garments, shoes, technology, you name it, it’s probably down there! I came across it again a week or so ago, whilst I was looking for something else, made a few adjustments & felt much happier with it, so got it coloured & finished up.

I guess most of you are noticing a theme with my illustrations by now, even when I try to draw pretty things like mermaids they end up dark, morbid & a little gory. I just can’t help myself, those themes always seem to seep through somehow. I blame my love of comics, horror films & gory video games! I’m also a vegetarian, so I only eat vege sushi, I wonder if that has something to do with this one?
