LEE RUSSEL
Lee Russel is your typical student. When asked what he enjoyed the most about University, his response was, ‘Erm probably nights out with all the people I know at uni! When everyone is out together its the best!’
A keen Illustrator from Gravesend in Kent, Lee prefers to shop in Topman and H&M for ‘basics’, whilst ‘for smart things I love Zara and I like to go to Camden in the vintage shops to get myself jackets.’ I asked him what he considered to be his favourite pair of shoes both from his past and present, and he responded with his blue suede Vans, only bought a couple of weeks back. ‘I love them’, he laughs. I sat Lee down and asked him a few quick questions about himself: When did you gain an interest in playing the drums? I always wanted to since my sister had a boyfrined in a band who used to play drums! I finally managed to get myself a set when i was 18 and have been playing ever since! What music do you like to listen to and why? I like to listen to a lot of the anticon labels music
when I’m drawing! Its made up of strange hip hop acts which use a lot of weird sounds in their mixes and very cleverly wrriten lyrics which always find their way into inspiring scenes in my head that I draw! Where’s the best place in London for a night out? Hmm black heart in camden for a cheeky pint. Do you have a part time job? If so, where and do you enjoy it? I work at a teahouse called yumchaa, its a pretty cool job because all the people that work there are creative and the company is pretty cool! The cafes are awesome spaces to spend time in and we do amazing food! Also getting to see a ton of famous people helps to keep it intresting! What do you hope to be doing once you graduate from University? Throwing together huge solo shows in galleries and selling my art work. Do you have a style icon? I dont think i have a style icon to be honest, but Rene Almanza and Herbert Baglione are my two most inspiring artists whose work has really lead me to be what im doing now.
