Rebecca the henna queen.

Rebecca Rowe

Hey Grey clan, how was your week? Today I bring to you the queen of henna, Rebecca Rowe. A born and bred Jamaican twenty year old part time model, fashion design college student and full time henna Artist. I met with Rebecca and had a little intimate one on one and man she's one power house. Someone who I'm sure you'ill want your daughters to take as a role model. At the young age of seventeen Rebecca got a newly found love for henna art, and was determind on making a career out of it. Now at the age of twenty, Rebecca is a known self taught henna artist, whose work trust me, is simply MIND BLOWING! expecially for someone who is self taught and has been only practicing for four years. Below is some of her latest master pieces, pieces that has a bit of soul in every drop of ink.

Yikes, it has been quite a weeek for me I must say. Grey moda reaching over four thousand views! like i mean 4000+ man, woman, chid and any other species, clicked on my blog and i would just like to say a big big thank you. To see my blog growing ( may not be as fast as how i anticipated) but it is, and in a ten month period I hit 4000, sighs I'm so elated! I wanted write earlier in the week but given that it was critique week ( Art schools version of exam week), it was virtually impossible, preparing and all. But nontheless, I'm very excited and so thankfull. Big things are in store for Grey moda, and the more the blog grows, with hopes, the more I grow a closer connection with my readers. Because at the end of it all my whole goal is to inspiere and cultivate dreams and aspiration through the art form that is fashion. I love you all dearly, and again, THANK YOU.

Me on a laid back hot day at school, fusing these lovely colors togather.

Fashion illustrator on the rise Mark Russell.

Ash Grey

Wah gwan people? or hey guys how are you lol. It's fall, the grandure time of holloween and all things over sized. But! today i'm here profiling a budding Jamaican fashion designer, Mark Russell. Bred in trelwany Jamaica, a parish notoriously known for thier yams. At the age of 20, Mark moved to the big city of Kingston with dreams of pursuing his fashion carear and get a degree at the Edna manley college school of the visual and performing arts. Bursting at the seams with talent, unlike you've ever seen. Mark potray's a calm demenor in juxtaposition to his work. Grim, dark and sadness, with his main and only inspiration from he was a child, the great Alexander Mcqueen. Coming into Edna manley Mark posses illustration skills to the gods! Personally the best illustrations I've ever seen, as in me!
When i had a sit down with mark and i asked him to explain his Illustrations, he simply said: "My girls are a reflection of who I truley want to be. serious and focused". I personally found it amusing when he said "My girls" refering to the illustrations, but that just goes to show the level of intimacy he has with his work. And with every strand of hair, to the very detailing of the skin you can see the heart, should and dedication. Mark Russell is one to keep under the microscope for he is destined for great things if he continues on this path. Here are a few samples of his work.
