Recently flew to France and shot with old friend, Dom Pichard (P-Mod)
and new friend (mentored by Estevan Oriol), Andres Herren!

Jilted sponsored X-games winner Shiest D is also the lead singer of band ‘Despite War’
He was shooting for me on behalf of Jilted and asked if id get snapped wearing his gear
so we decided to join the 2 and all shoot together! (including his wild wife)

Andres Herren will be flying to England in the around 2months time
to shoot the next Jilted Royalty Look Book.

(Also in the new lookbook will be tattooed model Buck N Evermind ‘above’)

(Update from last weeks blog : LINK - Belfort Tattoo Convention 2011.)

.

Iv had a hectic few months so at the moment im constantly feeling worn out!

Saturday at 3am I had to get a taxi from Birmingham to London and get a 7:30am flight to Basel airport (Switzerland).
Then when I arrived there at 10am we had to drive down into Belfort (France)

….Once there i had 12hrs ‘work’ (ha) to do so the day had just began!

Driver was waiting at the airport for me with a cold drink and a big smile
I knew from then it was gonna be a good weekend! (as always!)

Hotel had reserved their best room for me + Lucas ! 107

Big smile for Dee n the lads as he meets me wearing a Tee I recognise!

Cedric, took a leaf out of my book! (The Phantom Shitter)

….The snoring continues!!!!

Due to the 2days continual drinkin and loss of all flight info i had to get the taxi to the airport few hours early just in case.
JonDix was already heading to the airport so just jumped in with him.

….Its better to be safe than sorry kiddies!

Quiet flight home chillin with Jean.

….Welcomed back into England by a disgustingly familiar face!

….THE END!

(All In All the best convention weekend iv ever had!)

……..ROLL ON 2012!

Example plays the Manchester 02 Academy, once again reppin for Jilted and rockin his Readers Tee.

As you cant see he gained a few lady fans throughout the night.
(Must of been the garmz!)

….Hard life at the top ent it son!

Tonight see’s the opening of club McQueens latest night
‘The Secret Rendezvous’

Arabella Drummond has combined a pristine venue with some amazingly quirky acts to form this extraordinary event

You wouldn’t normally put these acts in a clean cut place like McQueen yet the 2 work together perfectly as I witnessed for myself at last weeks pre’opening!

Bar (ground floor)

Restaurant (ground floor)

Night Club (downstairs)

….A small taster of what you can expect to see tonight!

This will not be your average club night, believe me!

Received the pic’s back from shoot I did with Tom a few weeks ago.
I’ve obviously shot with many photographers now and I’ve liked 90% of them all for different reasons.

….As soon as I met tom I liked him and that always makes a shoot flow x10 easier.
Then once we started shooting it was easy to see the he is a master of lighting and knows his game inside out!

Tom Barnes : An easy going pro!
