Well well wel... we are FINALLY HERE!! (We thought we would arrive with the London spring!) Firstly, let me take this opportunity to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you whom have chosen subMISSION as your showcase platform. We launched with our Issue ZERO in February 2013 and since then, your creative energy has been a major inspiration and for that, I will be forever grateful! Genesis - In my mind; the beginning, and in the beginning, there was a blank canvas, a sketchbook, a journal, a neutral space to create. I wanted to see, understand and appreciate what Genesis meant to you and more importantly, I wanted to visually indulge in your interpretations. Every contribution has been executed beautifully and is truly a reflection of our future direction. I very much look forward to your continued support on this here journey of growth and development. MASSIVE thanks you to all of our AMAZING contributors this issue would be lost without you. Special thanks to the subMISSION crew Homaira, Sam, Maame, Naomi, Rachel and Rob for their most invaluable support and input.

This is your Genesis Zaneta Denny

The spiral of your lifeline springs From the rivers of nothingness Aligned with destiny, History tries to tell your tale, Her story rarely prevails. You clasp onto open spaces Hoping to climb to new heights, But who will notice your life? Dirty, sick-coloured infancy, Your wet entrails leave traces of your crawl. Fresh youth sans beauty, Raggedy, rough Limp, forlorn, Easily trampled, Easily ignored. Unwelcomed. The crowd is blind to your bleating, Turning their noses One hundred and eighty degrees. Tip-toeing away. This is your concourse, Hard rocks are wished on, Ready dots to connect on fluid ground. Lifelines for inelegant leap-frog, Closer to the bridge to solid land.

FAQ IV | 2012 | Acrylic silkscreen on polyester | 152.5 x 102cm

justin eagle Artist

Ipswich; birthplace to artist Justin Eagle born in 1977 Justin's father was a photography enthusiast who had taken to capturing beautiful images long before Justin was born. Such was his passion for the art that Mr Eagle turned a part of his home kitchen into a darkroom. Justin was just 12 years old when he started on his journey with photography. He saved to buy his first enlarger and although he didn't know it yet, it was evident that the beginnings of this creative experience would then become his life long career.

Untitled 2012 Acrylic silkscreen on polyester

FAQ I 2012 Acrylic silkscreen on polyester 152.5 x 102cm

" I was not very academic and my school teacher Mr Dockerill really helped to open things up. "

Justin contributes his success to his school teacher who he says was an incredible driving force. Their love for Jazz music was a common dominator, and to this day, they are still in touch. Justin found that his interests lie more in the art and creativity side of visuals rather than the commercial aspect. Although the journey started on a traditional foot he later transitioned into shooting subjects in a more abstract fashion. The use of Justin's abstract photography language is still vested into creating every piece of art; as is the need for presenting artwork on a full scale format. This structure derives from Justin's childhood experiences where he placed all his images onto an enlarger to gain a deeper and more intimate reading of his subject.

the faq series

This footprint represents the mark of Justin's presence and his need for that presence to be felt in his creative working space. In Justin's view, it is also about how and why we adorn ourselves and whether or not adornment creates a barrier between that sacred world connection. Justin describes the piece as primal; the first mark of a human on the earth; caveman like; in the beginning, there was the world and then there was man. We thought that piece was a perfect fit for our Genesis issue Mr Justin Eagle... WE SALUTE YOU!

"A foot is your connection to the world every time you take a step. "

going with the flow Linton Clarke

You kissed me like the Suns breath, echoing on solar winds. Hotter than the surface of its celestial father, Enchanting the skies for many hours after. Eruptions, the corruption of radiating particles, Sideswiping dark space and low trajectory articles. Protons and electrons smashed together in fission, The decision to abort mission slips carelessly from vision In tune with the cosmos, our energy runs volcanic, our affections A salvations, for natural selection. In tune with the cosmos and alive with the music The microwave background, sweet noises of dark matter Plucked then played Arco Pianissimo, our convo Lifts skywards, fortissimo. L'amour est un oiseau rebelle, Exploding like the Arora Borealis ascends Like curtains from mountains the fountains of light Climbs skywards in trends, and colours and lines and bursts or spectacular. Yes like Carmen's gypsy bird of rebellious nature, Did in deed slay the soldier, seduced with a kiss Carried on the wings like of the opera of 4 quarters. Though our, pause. Celestial exchange takes place on an asteroid Amidst, Saturn's unbuckling belt I felt inexplicably earthbound After waking up with you. My vernacular limited, Like the ancients' knowledge of retrograde loops When the earth sat centre before the alignment was set right. And thus into; my alignment you descended and brought back visions Past things now ended but reminded, by the soft and subtle way that you kissed me Left me blissfully, aware, that you're into me. And here now, see our friendship floats free A supernova of a train-wreck, almost car crash like catastrophe, Some kind of Black-hole all engulfing time consuming wonder of nature Just going with the flow I guess, you know? Baby! I've got to go, I'll talk to you later.

rob macneil distorium

Photographer

We had a quick 5 minutes with Canadian photographer Rob MacNeil.

Hey Rob, thank you for your contribution to subMISSION Magazine.

In Photographic terms, who are you inspired by?

How long you have been a Photographer?

Ansel Adams to is me the greatest photographer that has ever lived. His creations where produced before all of the modern technology we all take for granted today. His images are truly out of this world and touch my soul. I was first introduced to his work by my late sister Robin, decades ago. I had a litho of 'Moonrise over Hernandez' and 'Half Dome' decorating my walls by the age of 9 and about 10 of his books. Even though we have very different shooting styles, his eye for detail and amazing subject matters influence every photograph I take.

My photographic career comes in two parts; what I call pre-accident and postaccident. I was an active photographer from the age of 5 up until I was 22 when I was hit by a car during a training session (I was a professional cyclist). I put my camera and everything else away for 23 years then life changed for me at age 45 when I was handed my friend's camera to hold whilst they looked for a lens. It was honestly like a lightning bolt surging through my body as I held that camera up to my eye. All of my passion for the camera and the photograph came back and I haven't put it down since.

What inspired the Distortium piece? I felt that this series was the next logical step from my popular Aquos series (shhhh don't tell anyone but I have already arranged for your readers to be the first to see Aquos 2 before anyone else does!). This series encompasses my search for fluidity in all that surrounds us, but on a daily basis in the urban jungle. These are images I saw almost every day for a few weeks during nonstop rain cycle. I spent about a week trying to capture it and finally created a series I was excited about.

Where can we find more of your work? The best place to see more of my work is on my website, follow me on Twitter @mycamerahatesme for sneak peeks of my shots before they go into publications around the world.

Her work has also been published in named publications such as Fast Forward Fashion Magazine, ArtBox Magazine and Volume Magazine. Poppy's illustration style provokes a dialogue by challenging and pushing the boundaries of what fashion potentially could be.

discipline Curtis Guy

Discipline has left the classroom He's gone and left the building We don't see him anymore Has somebody just killed him?

Government stopped his services Let the children out the box Verse them in their legal rights Oh bless their cotton socks

You can't tell little Johnny He don't know Discipline But he'll quote you the book of law The teacher's wearing thin

Now Discipline they want him back But I think it's a little late Because now Respect has joined him Oh we're in a state!

Photographer

Biography Chris Brock is a creative portrait photographer based in London and working around the world. His images have appeared in publications such as Vogue and Sunday Times Style, and his commercial clients include Singapore Airlines, The Ford Motor Company, Havana Club and Ogilvy One. When London Fashion Week arrives, it becomes the epicentre for the weird and the wonderful. While at its heart are the catwalk shows where next seasons styles are defined, the venue also becomes a magnet for anyone who wants to be seen.

for their magazine clients, to the bloggers who are trying to get their 'Street Style 'websites on the map. Fashion Week is the place to be for anyone with a camera and a mission to capture the sights and sounds of this bizarre event.

London's Somerset House is descended upon by a colourful array of fashion scenesters, each one attempting to out do the rest with the most outrageous displays of style. Whilst it is these individuals who make this superficial circus the fantastical sight that it has now become, it's the photographers who feed the frenzy. From the hardened professional who's spent years in the catwalk pit shooting

Photographer Chris Brock turned this maelstrom of attention seeking on its head, and rather than sate the appetites of those seeking to find fame, he turned his camera on the photographers themselves. Shot at Somerset House at the height of Fashion Week, his series of photographs document the picture takers and what they're wearing.

Jimmy James wears a Nikon D3 and a Nikon D2x

johnny burt pursuit

Fine Artist

As an actor working both in London and L.A, I have always been susceptible, as all actors are, to the pressures of an industry that values image and aesthetic perfection over talent. This insecurity has always unconsciously and rather unavoidably tinged the artwork I produce, especially when using myself as the subject of a piece. The Pursuit series are self-portraits, in which I suppose I seek to capture a perfected impression or version of myself. That might be regarded as selfindulgent but it is really a way to release insecurities about those physical imperfections I perceive myself to have and which I believe to be under constant scrutiny. So the series focuses specifically on the male structure of the face, and the faces were constructed in a way that almost resembles these Adonis figures of aesthetic male perfection. The faces represent a constant need to aspire to physical improvement and perfection, with the paradox of never actually attaining it. So I suppose it's a futile pursuit of beauty, but the whole concept of pursuit can be read in more sinister ways. That's important because we now live in a grossly superficial world where the surgical pursuit of beauty sees a progressive violation of reality and traditional values. I think there's angst, a rawness to the portraits; something restless and deceptively confronting about them which naturally comes from my style of juxtaposing darkness with an unexpected vibrancy of colour. In relation to the Genesis theme, I suppose the Pursuit series works as a distortion of beginnings. We are born into the world as innocent, natural and untainted human beings - only to be shaped and corrupted by the manufactured pressures of a culture that tells us to pursue superficial and material things.

natasha williamson decieved by the narcissist

Artist

This painting represents a very dark time in my life, probably one of the rawest and most heart-wrenching periods. The painting was created post a very abusive six year relationship - the artwork realisation was to help purge the years of emotional, physical and psychological abuse. My heart felt like it had been wrenched out. The pain was so deep; it was as if I were holding my bloody and battered heart with the last bit of strength I could muster. The blood dripping from the eyes is representative of tears. The blood seeping from the mouth represents the abuse. The lamb conveys feelings of deceit and manipulatation the wool was being pulled over my eyes. For me, the creative process consisted of creating many layers of texture, each texture representing a different mood and emotion. The final product embodies my emotional journey. Evil comes in many forms, shapes and sizes. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with those who truly love and care for you no matter what.

a passing thought Miss Nayla

Whispers dance around And I am open to the sounds I breathe in the air I let go of my fears This is my beginning I threw away the old me The rules that used to hold me I've broken free I'm not looking back This is my beginning Each single step I make I move closer to my light That light that shines within I'm stronger now Than I've ever been I throw caution to the wind Don't get in my way I'm bursting through the sky I am Genesis ....

kaleidoscope issue two

A big thank you to everyone that helped translate the birth of subMISSION via all your own personal interpretations of 'Genesis' - We invite you to celebrate the success with us in our second issue (due to release in September 2013.) We urge you to break past all known boundaries, go wild with psychedelic prints, colours and shapes and help make our celebrations shape our second issue into a showcase of a supreme level of creativity.

The rule is there are no rules - See our contribution guidelines on our website to see how you can become part of the celebration. Remember subMISSION is contribution based so... if you are, then we are. We look forward to working with you!
