Photographer Mark Blower took this endearing portrait of The Rebel, who in their own words:

"'The Rebel' comes from the Tony Hancock film of the same name wherein a pathetic miser goes to Paris and ends up inheriting his flatmate's paintings, which he passes off as his own work, becoming the darling of the Paris scene. Finally he runs out of these inherited works and has to produce his own, with hilarious results. The Paris scene of course love these monstrosities equally. (Subtext : they look to the layman like Cubistic Picassos). This is my approach to making art, and indeed being alive in general. I don't want people to get the idea i'm Without A Cause or rebelling against Whatever You've Got." The Rebel
