Description

Paperboyo is an English photographer who has turned what once was a hobby into a full-time profession playing with perspective, history, and architecture. His travels have taken him to some of the world’s most stunning locations including New York, Rio de Janeiro, Dubai, and the moais of Easter Island.

To highlight the exclusive nature of this collaboration between artist and brand, Bolin Webb is to limit the production run to 1000 pieces. Each razor set will be numbered and every shaver with a Mr Slowboy razor will be identifiable by the number on its enclosed signature card. As I mentioned above, I saw a very different picture when I was mapping all of my previous work on the floor, and they certainly evolved from time to time, not just the proportion of the figures or the drawing techniques, even the preferable styling is subtly changing along with the fashion trends. However, I could tell from the work that classic and traditional menswear was still my favorite subject and most of the sitters in my favorite portraits are in suits.

I worked in advertising as an Art Director and Creative Director for about 13 years. After achieving most of the desirable “goals” in the industry, I realised It wasn’t quite fun anymore and my true passion still lay in drawing. The Mr Slowboy series is conceived and drawn by London-based artist Fei Wang. Slowboy. Fei has captured a distinctive style with a love for vintage aesthetics and nostalgia, topped with a playfully modern twist that feels unmistakably contemporary. At the end something I like to ask people I talk to. What does style mean? How do you understand it? Maren is a mix-and-match enthusiast who likes to mix the colors of her washed linen sets. She has just sent Hélène a photo of her latest assortment of colors, Anduze Green, Raku Grey, Clay Red and Light Kaolin Yellow. Judging by the "thumbs up" sent in response to her client, she apparently approved of her choice.

He planned a brunch on Sunday with Elie, at FLOR, the only "decent Mexican restaurant in Paris" according to them... of course. In celebration of our Made for Japan collection, we headed to Pitti Uomo earlier in the year with artist Fei Wang, also known as Mr Slowboy, to interpret our new collection in his unique style. Learn more about his illustration process and how he got into fashion illustration… Right, one can easily note that all of the illustrations have similar style in terms of the appearance of Mr Slowboy. He is a very specific character and you very often draw him. How did you come up with the idea of his look? Mr.Slowboy is highly respected in the art and fashion worlds for his pencil illustrations having worked with global luxury fashion brands including Barbour and Fortnum & Mason. Through his creative networks and large community of social media followers, Mr.Slowboy shares his unique vintage and retro style creations with a modern touch. Inspired by The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London’s strong fashion heritage as the official hotel for London Fashion Week, Mr.Slowboy has created detailed illustrations that depict characters in everyday situations wearing different outfits to fit the occasion, whether a special evening dinner, or relaxing in one of the hotel’s award-winning suites.

Fei Wang aka Mr. Slowboy

You have a very distinct style of drawing — What’s the process been like to build this strong visual identity? Gaspard plays the first notes of Imagine on the guitar, which he learned at his Montessori Quadrilingual school. Moreover our couple goes religiously every Sunday to Merci, when they are in "Paeris, rivee dwoite".

There are two aspects here, I think. One would be theprestige or exclusivity of the fabric/tailor/brand and the other, more important, would be how this particular item suits me. Claudia stretches, her slightly crumpled Merci sheets made of soft cotton gauze, a subtle mixture of Batignolles Yellow, Marais Blue and Gris Fusain, testify to the nocturnal excitement… Baby N°2 doesn't sleep through the night yet. At Bolin Webb, we are delighted to announce the imminent launch of the Mr Slowboy razor. As the beautiful design of an exciting new partner, this limited-edition razor may be our most striking model yet. I’m a ‘retired’ ad man who loves illustration and men’s fashion. I’m now working as a freelance illustrator based in London. My work is mostly about well-dressed and jovial men. Bolin Webb has commissioned a second Mr Slowboy limited edition R1 razor set. The new razor introduces a new Mr Slowboy character to Bolin Webb - our Gentleman on Tour to join the original Man from Mayfair.The first “Slowboy” as a semi-fictional character was created in June 2015 to share my personal fashion tips with colleagues and friends on my blog for a hobby. It’s rather a random by-product when I was trying to insert images to demonstrate the styling of garments I wanted to discuss or comment on, because I felt it was wrong to just grab images from the internet without any authorisation. I therefore decided to draw them myself as illustrations. Tell us a bit about the process. How long does a typical illustration take to draw and what techniques do you use? They often have lunch at Flor, carrots, salsa macha, mascarpone that look nothing like carrots, accompanied by a grilled broccoli and herb salad. At the beginning yes, it was this guy, dressed in a specific way and he looked very much the same on every illustration. Lately as I started doing more commission work I think the meaning is more about the style. So Mr Slowboy would be the style of illustrations rather than a specific person. At The Edwardian Manchester, McCor was inspired by the landscape, designs, and scenery around him, including the hotel’s mix of modern and Victorian architecture which he brought to life and captured from a new perspective with his signature brand of illustrative photographic art and humour.

In closing, the collection serves up a series of bags, each of which is designed for the on-the-go. A 24-liter holdall can be attached to the front of the collaborative bike, as can a new wax city bag, which boasts brass hardware and leather trims. Elsewhere, the special-edition Brompton bike, officially dubbed the Barbour x Brompton C Line Explore, is crafted with a six-gear set-up, an all-weather C17 Brooks saddle and Schwalbe Almotion touring tires. Custom serial plates pay respect to landmark lighthouses located on the coast of South Shields in the North East of England, and gold decals complement an otherwise earth-toned finish. As a Correspondent for this legendary Northwestern US daily newspaper, he has an endless sense of curiosity.The first collaborations will launch in the UK with two artists who have achieved worldwide recognition and attracted large communities to their social media channels thanks to their highly imaginative work. These artists include the photographer Rich McCor, better known as Paperboyo, and Fei Wang, contemporary artist and Chinese illustrator known under the pseudonym of Mr.Slowboy.

Victionary You rely on your portfolio of commercial and personal client work for the book's contents. Do you have any favorite portraits in there? What did you realize about your work as you compiled it? Did you learn anything about your subjects? It is rumored that he bragged in a nearby café, l'Étincelle, that he even had Sofians personal mobile number!
