"Voluntary Action" Opening

That's right boys and gals my wee shack is lit up on the inside and lookee lookee, someones checking out my t-shirt. What you don't see is all the drunks in the next room at this moment their having a blast Amy Marletta played a pretty decent DJ set a nice mod mix of soul classics and the likes, everyone digged the cocktails and filmmaker and friend Emma Balkind baked up a storm with her Revolutionary (birthday) Cupcakes. It was a very friendly easy going opening what with most people there being ex-volunteers and friends of the space, if only it hadn't hyped me up so much that I thought going to the infamous Fubar on a Friday night a good idea.

If you missed the opening don't worry there will be some film screenings coming up as part of the exhibitions closing event. For more info visit The Changing Room.

Hip Hip Hooray

The Changing Room is ten today and to celebrate tonight the 24th of august we shall have a party with free beer, cocktails, cake and music.
There will be a live set from The Impudels i think it is though i may be wrong and a DJ set by Amy Marletta who also designed one of a set of 4 limited edition t-shirts along with myself David Galletly and Rob Churm of Park Attack, they will be on sale tonight for a measly tenner so come down and buy them or just come down and have a dance.

"Voluntary Action" Begins

I've been making a home for the myself in The Changing Room, for the 10th anniversary exhibition "Voluntary Action". The idea being that it will house the limited edition t-shirts that myself and a few others designed.

"Finger Discount" Ends

T-Shirt Roughs

The Changing Rooms kindly asked me too design one of a set of t-shirts they were doing for there 10th anniversary show.
These are just some of the roughs they wanted to be able to print them on a couple of different colour tees so i had to have a colour schemme that would work on more than one backround, which was weird.
I was going to have them on royal blue or orange tees but it seemed too dark for the print, so decided on sky blue and sunflower.

I'll post the finished ones once there back from the printers.

"Finger Discount" Exhibition

Heres a pretty ropey joiner of my exhibition at The Changing Room. I may post some better pics of the hung work after the show ends. If you want to see them properly just pop along to The Old Arcade in Stirling, it will be on show until the 11th August.

If you fancy a little giggle you can read what the Stirling Observer had too say.

"Blurring the Neatline"

Guest starring Elph (on traffic cone duty).
Corner piece from the "Blurring the Neatline." exhibition at the Embassy Gallery, 76 East Crosscauseway, Edinburgh.
Its open thurs-sun from 12-5pm and will be on until the 16th of July.

I just heard today that the Skinny Mag rated it No.1 in thier top five gallery shows to see this month, which is pretty good i think.
