Sneakatron



I have just finished customising a pair of Addidas Shell toes with my 'signature' pattern. I decided to use the same colours as I did with the background for the Bar Soba paintings. The paint shouldn't suffer any damage if worn because it is only the heal that has be done but in saying that I dunno if I'll be dancing in these puppies. This is the first time I have customised a pair of trainers and I don't think it will be the last, it was an exciting process especially when pealing off the masking tape to reveal the final product. Let me know what you think and stay tune for future customisations.

What's happenin'



I had a wee break from work after completing the Bar soba paintings but now I'm back in action. I am displaying some work outside the Botanic Gardens in the West End of Glasgow, which has been suffering from some piss poor weather, so hopefully it perks up in a couple of weeks time. The show is part of Art on The Railings allowing artists to display their work for a day and I intend to do this again in December outside the GOMA in Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow. So I'm going to get on with a couple of new pieces for that.

Also I am submiting paintings to exhibit at OPUS in Newcastle in November in association with Rebelo. I will be working on some fresh pieces especially for this show and hopefully do some live art with the mighty powerhouse that is Gav from Jam-Factory. It is still in the early stages but I am very much looking forward to this show and to get some Brown Ale down the tube. Plenty to get on with but first a cup o' tea.
Peace
