When Harry met Mark

Back in 2014, while heading home from central London on a chilly December evening, I was  enticed – like a moth to the flame – by the deviation of the flashing bulbs at a gathering near the London Coliseum, where the paparazzi were photographing exits from the British Fashion Awards. While standing next to them, basking in the warming glow, a then 20 year-old Harry Styles appeared and momentarily had to wait for his car. We briefly chatted and he was happy to write something in my Rymans pad and sign it while the paps continued flashing. His car arrived a couple of minutes later and he drove off into the night. I drew a quick separate sketch later – here’s the combo. In the meantime, Harry has gone on to do quite well for himself.
