A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Last week, on the mean streets of Soho, the Red Stripe fueled opening night of Bromance, Jack Pearce�s first ever solo show, was well under way.
Housed in Atomica Gallery until October 25^th, Jack�s inky illustrations depict friends just having a good old fashioned, lovely time together. Whether they�re skateboarding, or licking each other�s faces, the characters' wonderfully bendy limbs flail around in the most joyous way - we double dog dare you to look at Jack�s work and not smile.

Shirt: Muji 

Trousers: A charity shop find 

Socks: Muji 

Trainers: Somewhere in the U S of A 

Beard: Entirely Jack's own work 

(And in case you're wondering, he smells of "clean man")

You can read more about Bromance in Jack's interview with Huck Magazine.

JP! Digital: Holy Trinity

Art, design and photography loving readers, hear hear! Remotely Fashion is now a part of the Just Pirez! Magazine's bloggers network and we would like to share our love of the core of fashion -- art. JP! Digital's newest issue definitely has got our creative juices flowing so bad that we might just start an organic juice bar (flavors will include: 'Purple Drank' and 'Mountain Dew Muse'). 

Just Pirez! Issue four, Holy Trinity, has an overarching theme of perplexing, detailed images that elicit a range of emotions from awe, sympathy, disgust, to curiosity. One of our favorite features in the issue is Andy Rudak's remarkable architectural photography project that depicts a variety of international locations made entirely of cardboard. The realism is amazing and we adored how baby woodland animals randomly appeared in the cityscapes. Another feature that made us look a little harder were the detailed illustrations from Rachel Walsh. Her artwork will make you inspect every detail like when you were a child searching for Waldo. The issue has many more intriguing works from a variety of talented and emerging artists from diverse genres. Be sure to check out the latest issue over here!

Ink My Heart

Usually the arrival of the postman only serves to remind us that reality is desperate to thwart our eternal optimism. However the other week was different and with the post was a much needed sign that unicorns really do walk among us, as we received this wonderful parcel of illustrations from the lovely Dom & Ink! As though put together by magical elves, it was full of all our favourite things - dinosaurs, mermaids, top knots and birds!

We could not help but notice the uncanny resemblance to G. Dragon & Taeyang from the K-pop band, Big Bang, that the fine fellas in the print below bear. How did Dom & Ink know they are the secret patron saints of this blog? We have no idea, but our mouths simultaneously dropped in amazement at the sight!

We fell hard for Dom & Ink's divine doodling when we saw his Top Knot print at The Shoreditch Fashion Show; so now when we aren't colouring in, we'll be keeping an eye out for Map My Heart, Dom & Ink's forthcoming book, which we were thrilled to learn will contain UNICORNS! It has been added to the first draft of our Christmas letter to the world's favourite sugar daddy, St. Nicholas, along with this outrageously awesome Grease 2 inspired phone case.

We always wondered what the male version of us would be like and we think that now we know - Dom & Ink draws what is in our brains and in our hearts!
