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.

poetry, art & photography features
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.
Zaneta Denny
This is your Genesis

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

FAQ I
2012
Acrylic silkscreen on polyester

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

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.

Hey Rob, thank you for your contribution
to subMISSION Magazine.
How long you have been a Photographer?
My photographic career comes in two
parts; what I call pre-accident and post-
accident. 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.
In Photographic terms, who are you
inspired by?
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.
rob macneildistorium
We had a quick 5 minutes with Canadian photographer Rob MacNeil.
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.
Fashion Designer and Illustrator
poppy warwicker -le bretonsuper collider
Fashion Design (BA & MA) graduate Poppy brings to us the illustrations of her final BA collection titled
The Post-Raphaelites which was sponsored by Pantone and showcased at Fashion Scout during London
Fashion Week September 2012.
The collection received a considerable amount of press and was nominated for the prestigious Zandra
Rhodes Textiles Award and won Best Garment at the Manchester Graduate Show. 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.

Inspired by the infamous digital collage artist Julien Pacaud, the first illustration depicts
those of us where change is obligatory due to the natural inevitable progressions of life and
the second image where one needs to work hard to achieve their desired new beginning.
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!

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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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 self-
indulgent 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 williamsonArtist
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.

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!
