New Painting, New Edit, New Sneaks, New Blog

I finally finished the piece that I have been going on about for the past few updates and if you have clicked play on the above video you will see it coming together, I would like to thank the very talented Mr Cooper for granting me permission to use the track 'Three' from his album 'Amongst Strangers.' You may recall a previous post refering to Mr Cooper I did a couple of years ago, a massive thank you Mr Cooper.



So above is a photo of the fianl piece (click on it to see the larger image) which I'm well happy with, it is an alley in my home town of Glasgow and unlike previous paintings I have done it shows a 180 degree view of the alley letting the viewer see the roof of scafolding right down to the cobble stone ground. This 180 degree view is something that I will be working with again in the near future. Also the edit shows myself destroying the stencils right after I have completed painting which is something that I have always done since I started stenciling even after spending as long as I do cutting and yes I did paint this piece in my slippers. But working on this piece was a lot easier than previous larger pieces because I managed to get a larger studio space which is great apart from the lack of ventilation and it needed a tidy as I think Spiderman was here before me and he is pretty messy, but the space was great to manage the large sheets of paper compared to my other space.





But not only did I get to finish 'Mitchell Alley' but I completed my first pair of trainers for a client who saw my previous pair and was keen to have a pair of his own, to be honest I prefer these to the pair I did for myself. So if your are interested in owning a pair of Klingatron sneaks then drop me an email.



The other month I was checking out Wooster Collective and read about the plans for OS GEMEOS, NINA and NUNCA were planning on transforming the exterior of Kelburn Castle which is on the west coast of Scotland and is just 15 minutes down the road from where I live so when the weather got a little better my girl and I got in the car and went to check it out.





The castle looked unbelievable and it was amazing to see people of all ages just standing for ages watching these talented artists create something so different to anything anyone from the quiet town of Kelburn had ever seen before, my girlfriend and I stood there for ages until our necks got tired of looking up all for ages. If by any chance you are planning to visit Scotland I suggest you get on a bus or train to Kelburn (near Largs) and check this out, it really is something. The castle is surrounded by forrest land and you can't go into the woods without seeing an Elph.
