Si Scott // Paper Scissor Stone

To put this in it's most simplest of terms; my day today was brilliant. The sun was shining, everyone was in an awesome mood and the general vibe around the studio was nothing short of optimistic. Good times.

To top it off though, I decided to take a trip down to Si Scott's new shop in the evening - Paper Scissor Stone. It's a pretty damn sweet outlet and the clothes stocked there are rather nice; even if they don't really lend themselves to a student's typical budget. But alas, the main purpose of the outing wasn't to buy clothes... it was to attend the opening/launch party that included free drinks, Si's artwork auctioning and a one off viewing of some original ink sketches prior to their development into final resolutions. I have to say it was nice to see the honesty of the work before their alterations; especially as most of it was presented on ripped out, dog-eared layout paper or scraps of cartridge paper taken from sketchbooks. It made life feel a little more achievable and gave me a new sense of motivation and inspiration.

Anyway, I tell a lie. The real icing on the cake was this...



A personal piece of illustration completed in a live drawing demonstration by the man himself. Now there's something that you don't see everyday. Stoked. In fact, that's probably the biggest understatement of the year; and what's more it's going to be completed in a couple of weeks when he comes into college for a seminar.

Out.
