SNEAK PEEK: ZOOM PORTFOLIO 2010

2009 died two months ago... It's time to go back into the dungeon. 

I'm looking to start a brand spanking new portfolio...having abit more colour, flaire, and humour. I must admit, I got some mad inspiration from an artist named Numskull. I'm looking to get my first batch of Work done by May so I can work on other projects AS SUCH AS CAKE!!!!!

Expect writing and art for the first part of the year, and clothing and films for the next half (God willing).

SNEAK PEEK: SECRET

For those who are into your Asian cinema, this female here would be the Lady Snowblood of grime music . [type the name up on YouTube if the first sentence threw you off completely]. Secret (Also known as Magikal) is looking to release her debut EP, mid 2010. There is nothing much to say except 'look out for this one'. You can catch up with her on my blog later on in the year.
But if you can't wait until then...
KMT!

UNBEWEAVEABLE: PART 2

February 3rd 2010
London: 15:47 GMT
Today has been okay. I just got an interview wish London college of arts for next week, I have an interview at West themes college tomorrow, and to top it all of, I just purchased the epic...the astonishing...Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
So to cut a long story short...I walk into my flat and guess what I find...

DADDYS GOT HIS SWAGGA BACK!!!

ZOOM'S MARVELOUS BEARD

THE PILOT

SCENE 1: The dungeon...

For those who know me, you would understand I am reaching that time in my life where I am going through a lot of changes. Hair is growing in places I didn't expect...my face.*you sicko* I mean, I would shave my face clean, and then mysteriously look as if I have no-one to look after me weeks later. This was a major concern to me. I just did not understand why my hair was growing so quickly.

But I have now come to the point where I just don't care any more, and i wouldn't mind leaving this hair on my face for a few months or so...Just to see how much it would grow. That is where I thought up the idea of doing a sponsor....

The scenario is this...I leave my hair until april (for the sake of your entertainment of course) and you could sponsor me too keep it on. I choose april because my church is having a youth congress at that time, and I wouldn't be able to stand the embarrassment of being laughed at all the time for a week (unless I receive that generous donation from that generous sponsor *wink wink*).

If some-one says I resemble King Kong, or I look like a chimp with addidas trainers, it would all be written in 'ZoOm's Marvelous Beard'. Maybe you don't want to see me get tortured by the public; maybe you just want to see how far the beard will grow. I would obviously give you weekly updates on how the beard is doing....like this:

Or maybe i took it too far...I don't know.

If this idea pulls through, and enough people sponsor, the sponsors would count on how many WEEKS I keep the beard.

Now you can aim to give £1 a week...or maybe even two...£10 if your pockets are weighty. There is no limit, but do not disrespect and chip in a ten pence piece...cause thats just rude.

By the beginning of April, all of the money would be collected, and 50% of the proceedings would be given to charity. 25% will be handed to those in who are suffering in Haiti, while the other half would be handed to a more local organisation, but that is yet to be decided.

I'm giving a week to hear the responses. If I get no intrest in a weeks time, I would just leave it and get a hair cut. But if the reaction is big enough, I'll go for it...I mean...I'm on it if you are.

Get back to me :)

UNBEWEAVEABLE

You know your not a Happy Bunny when something like this happens
December 30th 2009
London: 14:29 GMT
Me and the team just stepped in a fancy dress shop, located on the back roads of Neasden. Please believe it was only last night when the team told me I was attending a fancy dress event (60's- 70's  style to be precise). I walk through these doors with my head hanging low.


You see... The night before this event, I got a bit too excited with the shaver my auntie gave me for Christmas. All I wanted to do was shave off my beard, and shape up the moustache. I ended up shaping up the moustache a bit too low, leaving me no choice but to shave off the whole thing. Now I stand in the middle of North West London, looking like an esacped monkey from the zoo. Thank God this was a dress up event. 


Looking around, I found a fake mostouse for £2.99.
Great the moustache is sorted - All I need is a...


And there it was - Glossing, Curly, and Wet.
Michael Jackson's Jerry Curl in a pack. (Thriller Edition)
The shop keeper even allowed me to put it on before I bought it
                                 Twas a Perfect fit - Twas Destiny
A pain to my pockets though - £14.99 meant that I couldn't eat for a whole night (Thanks Reon, for handing in a fiver)


I jumped into the Batmobile and off we went:


Sheffield 18:36 BMT
It's Morphing Time

Welcome to Sheffield's Gospel roller Disco

Music - Laughs - The Works

Me and Reon were looking super slick that night - look at my bottom lip though.

Yes my dear readers, laughter was truly in the air, but just like every family gathering, there is always one to come in mess up a vibe...This one had a wig on.

Now, this brother came in the 70's event with a dreadlocks wig on; or it looked like dreadlocks - that was the closest hairstyle I could relate it too.

Actually I'm sure it wasn't dreadlocks...

Okay this man brought a Doo Doo Plat Wig to the event - I mean...Who buys those?

But I never really thought nothing of it

I was just tryna keep my Soul Glo correct

I sense you're getting bored so let me cut a long story short...

          ...the brother left with my Jerry Curl man...

I don't know what happened. We got freindly...He asked for the wig. We swopped...and he left the building without giving it back

The Teef.

Just look at him.

I've been searching all over Facebook...Tryna find him

I really need to find him

Luckily...I caught him this afternoon - And that is why you don't tag people on pictures.

I'm gonna speak to him...and ask him politely for my Curl back

'Cause that beauty cost me £14.99 worth of Christmas money

I'll tell you all how it went.

PART II? We'll see...

JAHNOI CRANSTON:REMIXED
