CAGECITY X MDRINK

We love a collaboration.. Yeah we do!! 

Our ethos here at CAGECITY, is to connect up with young creatives who may not be established, but have that raw, fresh talent! Nothing excites us more!! 

And from this we bring you our new Black & White Lookbook! It's CAGECITY's first studio based Lookbook shoot! (Blame the weather) But with a twist - In true CAGECITY style, you know how we do! Inspired by the Monochrome trend.. we mixed up the Era's with sixties make-up, 80's hair and hot clothes - Of course!! And some funky art!! 

We hooked up with the young man that is MDRINK! (Moder Ink) 

This guy is serious, his imagination comes to life through a pen creating some amazing pieces of art..all at the sweet age of 20. 

We wanted to add illustration to fashion and with a lil brief; MDRINK (completely on our wavelength) creates the art you see in our amazing new Lookbook! 

So we caught up with him to give you an insight into the boy behind the ink :) 

Hey MDRINK.. 

Let's start with your name... Why MDRINK? 

It started as a graffiti tag.. which was Moder Ink and over time as I matured I changed it to MDR ink.. It had a nice ring to it so i've stuck with that. 

When did you really get into art? 

I've always been interested, but I started really getting into it at the beggining of secondary school, when I was about 13. My Art lessons gave me the opportunity to find myself and explore what I liked. 

What inspires your work? 

Graffiti is a big inspiration to my style of work. I love seeing other artists and what they do as this always triggers new ideas and inspiration. 

Do you have a favourite piece? 

Off the top of my head I couldn't tell you, but as of late i've enjoyed using fine line pens so the work i've created from them has been pretty good. 

Where do you want to take your art? 

Worldwide!! I would love to see MDR as an empire and I love the idea of collaborating art and fashion. And although a lot of my inspiration is graffiti based I can be versatile and i'm good with a brief *winks* 

You definetely are!! We want to see MDR worldwide too! 

We love what you've done for us..and we're sure this won't be the last we see of you!! Excited for more CAGECITY X MDRINK collabs!!
