Leah Hayes

I did a illustration course at Parsons in New York the past summer for two weeks. Was so much fun but the hardest thing I've ever done! My teacher, Leah Hayes, was awesome. He favourite word: 'trippy'. She's got some amazing illustrations. She also does some things on scratch boards which are bloody incredible.

She told me she was also in a band called scary mansion and they were gonna tour in London soon.

The Sartorialist

I got my friend, Sophia, the Sartorialist' new book for her birthday since he is her favourite blogger.
Scott Schuman: 'I started The Sartorialist simply to share photos of people that I saw on the streets of New York that I thought looked great. When I worked in the fashion industry (15 years), I always felt that there was a disconnect between what I was selling in the showroom and what I was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life.'

Shutter Island

This is a movie directed by Martin Scorsese (director of Aviator and Gangs of New York) set in the US in 1954 about Teddy Daniels looking for a mentally unstable murderer that has escaped from the hospital on Shutter Island - with Leo as Teddy Daniels, who is absolutely amazing! Cannot wait for this to come out...

Bigmouth Strikes Again


The Smiths' make beautiful melodies with scary lyrics...

"Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head"

And you've got to love Morrissey's Manchester accent!
