A Day In The Life.

Obviously there are updates on the whole transport/escort farce coming soon (it's the gift that keeps on giving) but the whole point of this blog was to at least try to be a wee bit positive so thought I'd post something of a personal work-based nature to show that it's not all doom and gloom.

In my everyday life I work as an illustrator , jumping 'tween horror/TV/film based illo's and more serious stuff.

Which keeps me busy.

One such project I was involved with was thru' Glasgow Open Museums and involved the creation of an arts instillation exploring the lives of refugees in the city.



Originally envisaged as a series of posters - much like the kind of gig poster you'd find adorning every 80s shopfront - the work was first shown in The St Enoch Centre in Glasgow before being put on a huge banner to be displayed at GoMA and then toured for 6 weeks around various points in the city.




When it was finally returned the weather damage that'd been inflicted on it gave a brilliant example of what living outdoors can do to a person.

Anyway the project was a great success (I'm currently in the middle of a follow on with Glasgow City Mission) which culminated last week with the banner being display at the Scottish Parliament building and me giving a quick talk about it.




Which just goes to show that we're actually rather good at stuff if you just let us get on with it.
