I’ve just launched this portfolio website for my good friend and superstar photographer Ellie la Rocc. I used the same wordpress template at the House of Thieves website to keep it ghetto…quick and dirty.

House of Thieves pendants

I’ve been making these pendant for House of Thieves from found antique objects. Where I’ve been able to I’ve used antique keys to tie in with the whole thieves theme and the occasional catholic medal to offer forgiveness to the damned person who wears it.

House of Thieves

The happily ignorant reader, whose knowledge of the criminal classes is confined to an occasional glance through the police court and Sessions cases as narrated in his morning newspaper, will be shocked and amazed to learn that within the limits of the City of London alone, an army of male and female thieves, twenty thousand strong, find daily and nightly employment.

Roughly estimating the population of the metropolis as numbering three million, it means that amongst us one person in every hundred and fifty is a forger, a housebreaker, a pickpocket, a shoplifter, a receiver of stolen goods or what not; a human bird of prey, in short, bound to a desperate pursuit of that terrible course of life into which vice or misfortune originally casts him; a wily, cunning man-wolf, constantly on the watch, seeking whom he may devour.

House of Thieves spares no refinement or expense providing handmade clothing of the highest quality for the cunning and the damned of this fine metropolis and its surrounding boroughs.

Glyn Flew tattoo gun

I bought this sweet little Glyn Flew gun from ebay last week. I have it set as a liner at the moment and have only messed around with some bloodlining so far but will post some line work as soon as it’s done.

The balance of this gun is absolutely spot on and i’m sure will produce some really straight and true lines.
