aaaaahhhhhhh it's october!!!!

oh how did that happen already?? BLIMEY!

september went past in an almighty flurry with the opening of TIME TO GIVE UP, a show by Simon Shaw and myself at the glasgow project room on saturday 4th

the show was only on until saturday 11th, after which the sad task of sanding back and painting over began - it is indeed the weirdest thing in the world to spend all the spare time i had either side of my jobs for about ten days going to the project room and hand-drawing onto the wall with POSCA graffiti pens to make what the project room committee termed a "substantial piece of work" only to just paint over it and make it disappear again - it's kind of liberating i suppose and i have plenty of photographic documentation of the making and destroying of which i will hopefully make into a stop motion soon...

so, after TIME TO GIVE UP, i discovered that my work for the big antidote had also been printed by cure studio, down in London, as part of Zineview: a pop up reading room

this event was run by Teal Triggs (Professor of Graphic Design at the University of the Arts in London) in conjunction with the London College of Communication and Thames and Hudson on Monday 20th

i am also forgetting the marvelous Pietro Fortuna exhibition, Glory, at the Tramway that I was lucky enough to be an artist in which took place on Saturday 28th August - that was pretty exciting stuff to be a part of something so large scale!
and then there was the Ironbbratz antidote to Glory, which was an exhibition in IB HQ with the nifty title, Shame - and i think we were all suitably ashamed of our particular exhibits in this show (well at least Mr Smith and I were as they were particularly low quality) - this show happened on saturday 11th.

that's all for now!
