Street Portrait (for and of Nigel Ruwende), 2012
Wotcha! Happy New Year All! I spotted Nigel from the other side of Seven Dials, Covent Garden, London sometime in the dog days of last year. He was so utterly cool I had to ask him for a picture, and I was delighted when he said yes. Nigel is features editor on http://www.individualism.co.uk/ , an extremely stylish blog – I urge you to check it out. Thanks, Nigel! Hope you like your picture.
The Future Is Papier Mâché 
Happy New Year, Richard… 🙂
Very well captured… 🙂
Thank you my friend! Happy New Year to you too! 🙂
Glad to see you back! Happy New Year, hope you enjoyed the holidays. Love the greys.
Aw, thanks, Deanne! Part of the absence was scheduled and the rest was down to connectivity issues (that’s not a euphemism for my cranky personality, but instead my cranky phone line). Thanks – they’ve been very good. How was yours?
🙂 I used to be known as crankygirl:) Fab hols as well. Cheers
great photo again!
great blog also!
Thank you so much, Olive! I take that as a very big compliment! Love your blog too!
I’ve missed your portraits over the Holiday break. Another portrait full of personality!
Aw, that’s so nice to hear. Thanks very much, Elena!
He is very cool and it’s a great portrait. Such an expressive face.
Thanks so much, Emily. Yes, indeed – I hope Nigel likes the shot.
Hey Richard. Welcome back. nice to see you and Nigel.
Hey, thanks very much, Ashley! Nigel’s great isn’t he?
I am completely digging his ensemble. Love this portrait, Richard!
Yes, it’s so perfect and natural looking and yet really complex – I think it’s really personal to Nigel. Thanks very much, Melanie!
Happy New Year – back in the saddle, eh!
Thank you, and Happy New Year to you too! Have a great 2013! Our glorious telecommunications company willing, yes 🙂
I have already had that experience this year – no power for 12 + hours yesterday, nasty cold!
Ouch! 😦
A great portrait, Richard. Nigel appears very affable and stylish.
Thanks very much, Karen. A perfect description – we had a bit of a chat and Nigel was really nice – I think he’s also a stylist and cutter.
Welcome back! 🙂 Great portrait! Stripes and plaid, a brave combination! 🙂
Thank you, Sir! 🙂 I hadn’t planned on being away quite this long, but BT had other plans 🙂 Yes, Nigel looks great doesn’t he – it’s such an interesting combination of textures and patterns – I can see all sorts of associations in it.
Haha! Good old telecommunications companies! 🙂 He’s a great way to kick start 2013! 🙂
Pues sí, me encanta!, se ve un hombre muy interesante, muy bien Richard!!

I really love the one earplug! Makes it utterly contemporary.
Hadn’t thought of that, but yes, totally! Thanks, Jennifer.
Yeah… the earplug is the centrepiece for this one. Great portrait, this!
Thanks so much, MJ! I’m itching to get back to the portraits – I’ve been out of town for over a fortnight.
I like the hat and jacket combo. Great portrait!
Yes, it’s great isn’t it? Thanks very much, Stevie.
LOvely to have you back, I missed you.
What a dude, he looks like a great character.
That’s really nice to know, Leanne – thank you! Yes, it’s a fantastic outfit, isn’t it?
