international tee - £35

FOR THE LONGEST TiME i HAVE ALWAYS BEEN QUiTE A FiRM BELiVER THAT STREET SKATE
PHOTOS HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED SO MUCH BETTER THAN PARK ONES. AND TO A CERTAiN
DEGREE i STiLL BELiEVE THAT HOWEVER THROUGH THE PRODUCTiON OF THiS MAGAZINE
I HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE INCLINED TO TAKE PARK PHOTOS AS THERE IS LITTLE TO NO
STREET SPOTS IN MY AREA, AND I CAN’T SAY THAT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH HOW THEY HAVE
TURNED OUT. THANKFULLY THE VERY SKiLLED SKATERS iN THiS MAGAZiNE HAVE DONE AN
EXCELLENT JOB AT MAKiNG THESE PHOTOS COME OUT REALLY WELL AND i AM EXCiTED TO
SHARE EVERYTHiNG i HAVE BEEN WORKiNG ON FOR THE LAST HOWEVER LONG i HAVE BEEN
GRAFTiNG!
I HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN AN ACADEMiC PERSON. I HAVE ALWAYS REACHED FOR A
PAiNTBRUSH OR A CAMERA OR CHiSELL. iVE ALWAYS FOUND LETTiNG MY HUNGER
TO CREATE HAS WORKED BEST FOR ME AND HOPEFULLY WiLL CONTiNUE TO SO i CAN
MAKE A LiViNG OFF OF iT. WHEN THE OPPERTUNiTY ROSE TO ME DECiDiNG WHAT i
WANTED TO CREATE FOR MY FiNAL PiECE i WAS SURE i WANTED SOMETHiNG THAT
HAD MEANiNG. WHAT BETTER TO DO THAN TO DO THE THiNGS i LOVE MOST;
CREATiNG, HANGiNG OUT WiTH MY BEST FRiENDS AND OF COURSE SKATEBOARDiNG.

THE TiMELiNE OF THESE PHOTOS iS ACROSS RUFFLY 3-4 WEEKS OF SKATiNG THROUGH MY
EASTER BREAK. WHEN YOU GET A CAMERA OUT iT ADDS A PERCULiAR PRESSURE TO THE
TRiCK. YOU KNOW THE CAMERAS THERE AND ALTHOUGH iT DOESNT SEEM TO BOTHER ANY
ONE iM SHOOTiNG i FEEL iT
PLAYS iN THE BACK OF THEiR
MiND AND ACTS LiKE A SMALL
BURDEN TO GET PASSED.
ALTHOUGH NO ONE HAS
ADMiTTED iT TO ME i KNOW
SOME OF THESE TRiCKS
ARE FiRST TRY TRiCKS FOR
THEM AND YET iT TOOK THEM
20 TRiES. i LiKE TO THiNK
ABOUT THiS CONCEPT A LOT.
THE THOUGHT OF HOW YOU
PERFOM iS VERY DEPENDANT
ON YOUR MENTAL STATE. IF
YOU FEEL GOOD OR LOOK-
GOOD, ALL THE WAY TO iF YOU
LANDED THAT TRiCK EARLiER.
WAS iT CLEAN? DiD YOU TOE
DRAG? ALL THESE LiTTLE
FACTORS CAN HONESTLY
THROW YOU OFF OF ONE OR
ALL TRiCKS iN THAT SESSiON.
THE MORE ADVACNED YOU GET
iN SKATEBOARDiNG THE MORE
YOU DEVELOP WAYS TO TRY
BREAK THESE MENTAL BLOCKS
AND YOU LEARN SO MUCH
ABOUT YOUSELF iN THE
PROCESS.

FOr this collection i was sure i wanted to producde some of my most authentic
work yet. I wanted to persure this contempory grunge style which my
brand is very centred around. I love this style and really enjoy making this stlye
of art. i like this collection a lot and i think it exhibts some interesting artwork i have
made.

KEEP LOOKING FORWARD IN THE WORDS OF THE
CREATOR;
“KEEP LOOKING FORWARD DEVELOPED FROM THE IDEA
OF A PLACE I COULD DUMP ALL MY CREATIVE WORK AT
THE TIME TOT KEEP AS SORT OF ARCHIVE AND TO LOOK
BACK ON FOR INSPIRATION. NAUTRALLY IT EMBODIES
SKATEBOARDING AND TEENAGE CULTURE AS THATS
WHAT IM PREDOMINANTELY EXPOSED TO IN MY DAY TO
DAY LIFE. SIMPLY PUT, KLF IS MY ATTEMPT TO SHARE MY
WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE, AND A WAY TO FIND AN
OUTWARD EXPRESSION”
AFTER LISTENING TO JOE THE CREATER OF KLF I GAINED
A STRONG FEELING OF PASSION TOWARDS HIS BRAND. I
WANTED TO FIND OUT MORE SO I ASKED HIM SOME
QUESTIONS REGARDING HIS ACCOUNT.
“SO JOE AFTER BEiNG QUiTE UP TO DATE WiTH THE KLF
ACCOUNT i HAVE NOTiCED YOU ARE BEGiNNiNG TO
START TO CREATE CLOTHES AND PiCTURE YOUR BRAND
AS MORE OF A BRAND. WHAT THiNGS ARE iNFLUENCiNG
YOU TO MAKE THiS DECiSiON AND ARE YOU iNTERESTED
iN TO MORE THAN JUST STANDARD MERCH?”
“WHAT iNSPiRED ME THE MOST iS THAT KLF WAS JUST
EXiSiTiNG iN THE DiGiTAL WORLD RATHER THAN THE
PHYSiCAL WORLD. IT FELT WEiRD THAT i HAD SOME-
THiNG THAT NEVER REALLY EXiSTED. THE iDEA WiTH
MAKiNG THE TEE SHiRTS WAS JUST TRYiNG TO FiND A
WAY OF DOiNG THAT. I’VE NEVER REALLY FUCKED WiTH
THE iDEA OF ZiNES FOR SOME REASON, ALTHOUGH i
HAVE BEEN WANTiNG TO DO A BiG PHOTO BOOK OF
JUST SKATE CULTURE FOR SOME TiME, BUT i THiNK
NOWS NOT THE TiME TO DO iT. MAYBE AFTER UNi iT’D
FEEL MORE APPROPRiATE. I HAVENT THOUGHT TOO FAR
YET HONESTLY ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MAKiNG iT iNTO
MORE OF A BRAND BUT TEE SHiRTS ARE A DEFiNiTE
START. iT’D BE TRiCKY MAKiNG MORE iNTRiCATE
UNiQUE PiECES AS i’D WANT EVERYTHiNG MADE iN
HOUSE BUT WHO KNOWS.
”HAVE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SHOOTiNG SOMETHiNG
AWAY FROM YOUTH/ SKATE CULTURE?”

“yeh definitely, i have so many ideas for fashion campaigns/
editorials/ shoots but just not really the facilities to make
them a reality... it’s something i think think i’ll try to do soon,
but i think they’ll need to be executed perfectly or it’ll end up
looking a bit tacky. I’m used to just taking photos of everday
life things so can’t say im an expert in things like studio
liughting, but i want to learn.”
“Yeah man you should deinitely try to learn and expand out in
every direction you can. I suppose that coincides with the
name of your account keep looking forward. When will your
clothes be available and where can any of the readers look to
buy some?”
“yeah bro, i really hope to get those skills on lock because
thats really what you need to make a carer out of it. The
clothes will be available to buy via dm on instagram @keeplookingforward.”

HAPPEN BEHiND THE SCENES OF THE PRODUCTiON. IRONiCALLY i DONT REALLY HAVE LOADS OF THOSE HOWEVER i DiD
THNK ONE WOULD BE QUiTE SUiTED TO TALK ABOUT. AFTER LEAViNG THiS SPOT OF THE PiCTURES ABOVE OUR FREiND
ALF HAD TO GO HOME REAL QUCK SO HE DECiDED TO BOMB A HiLL NEARBY. THiS WAS A FRESHLY TARMACTED PATH SO
HE WAS GETTiNG SOME SERiOUS SPEED. WHEN COMiNG TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HiLL THERE WAS LOADS OF BUMPS iN
THE ROAD AND ALFiE ABSOLUTELY STACKED iT. ONE OF THOSE SLAMS WHiCH WERERNT SERiOUS BUT WERE JUST REALLY
FUNNY. WHEN HE GOT UP ALL OF HiS BELT LOOPS HAD BROKE AND HE HAD TO WALK TO MEET HiS GiRLFREiND WiTH HiS
TROUSERS HANGiNG DOWN PAST HiS ARSE. QUiTE FUNNY iF YOU ASK ME AND DEFiNiTELY MORE FUNNY iN THE MOMENT.
