Analogue, Edinburgh.

Russell and Julie of Analogue Books in Edinburgh asked me to paint the entrance to their store and do a sort of window display (that half I still need to go back and do). It was really fun and they are the nicest people you will ever meet on this planet so you should do all your shopping there.
Go look at more photo's like this on their Flickr.

Oil, pencil and house paint on wood.
These are from the group show "We Can Work It Out" at The GRV Project last November.
Elph was sort of curating the show so it was pretty last minute. I knocked out these and a couple of others on the morning of the show with just enough time to catch the train, get to the gallery and hang the work. After that I got piss drunk and lost everything i owned.

"Kowy Young Team"

R.I.P. R. McAllister 1926-2008

I live in his house, I draw on his paper, I paint in his garage and take photograph's with his camera's. I read his books. He's not there.

Sketchbook 1.1

I did eventually get my sketchbooks back. No camera but i didn't expect to see that again.

I've been doing some work for the upcoming issue of Overspray. The theme is of course, you guessed it "Street Heart".

I'll keep you posted on this when its closer to the time. Meanwhile why not check out the Overspray Blog they update it quite often.

The Changing Room is Moving

After a decade Stirlings only contempory art space closed its almost secret, slightly hidden doors in the old Crawford Arcade for the last time on the 31st of December.

But don't worry its only gone and moved up the hill to The Tolbooth, Stirlings super-nice all round contempory arts and music venue. It should be re-launched sometime this summer with better facilities, advertising and general oh look its right there. That was easy to find feelings (and theres a bar upstairs). Oh what fun and merryment shall be had.
