You know I can do it better.

I am a doodler. Full stop dot com. I doodle all the time. When I was in school I remember having my report and the the teachers in the more academic subjects would write "Jordan's work is excellent but she does have a tendency to daydream and doodle." But that's what I've always been like. If I have a pen in my hand I probably won't be writing a speech, or a novel, I'll be drawing my perfect outfit for next weekend, or sketching the lady opposite me and repacing her clothes with my own designs. I'll be drawing silly, ugly faces, beautiful eyes, last night's dream and flowing gowns. Just me and my own little world. I'm the kind of person who is not the best at explaining vocally and would rather just draw what I mean on paper and hand it to someone! If I couldn't design and re-design new things, I wouldn't have a clue what I would do. There is not a single thing in the world that I enjoy more (apart from sleeping). I'll turn down a probably fabulous night out and instead lay out all my paints and pens on the floor and draw for hours! Now I can't figure out whether that's dedication or just plain sad?!

I like to vandalise images in magazine's of models and exaggerate their features, add speech bubbles or add new dynamics to the face or clothes. Just have fun with it and doodle really.

When I went to New York in February, me and my friend Rachel bought the american Vogue in Wall st with Lady Gaga gracing the cover. I must have read it a thousand times since I've come home because I know it's something I can never get another one of. It's really sentimental to me. Anyway, I photocopied some advertisements from inside over the summer and just drew all over them



The models are originally female but being a lover of androgyny,
I've given them a whole new gender makeover. I wanted to blur the gender barrier and create something interesting.
 I'ver made the hair messier and the attitude fierce. It's all hand drawn with ink but when I have a spare minute I'll probably retouch them on photoshop. But right now I've just shown you a rough draft of an idea in the very early stages.

But why would you want to ruin a pretty face?




Each model has the same styling, it's that dark, grunge, edgy, rough, battered rock lifestyle!
