FiST x Recoat- Old Wynd Mural
In May 2015 we were commissioned by Glasgow City Council Regeneration Department to create a mural on the wall of McDonald's Bakery on Old Wynd just off Trongate in Glasgow.
We selected and collaborated with the hugely talented FiST on this large scale mural. We tried to create 'another world', something transformative and dreamy.
You can view all of the photos from the project here.
Recoat off to Edinburgh Book Festival
Amy is chairing a discussion between the artist Stik and writer, Ryan Gatiss of Uglar Works on 29th August at the Edinburgh Book Festival. Tickets are just £7 for adults and there are various concessions. Both very talented dudes, will be very interesting to hear their stories.
Velodrome mural
The mural we painted at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Was such an honour to do this commission. We painted this one with brush and acrylic on scaffold through the nights leading up to the games. It was a serious challenge but probably one of our favourite murals we've ever painted!
Emirates Arena Mural
The mural we painted at the Emirates Arena for Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Was such an honour to do this commission, one we're really proud of!
Rights Respecting Mural

Mural at the Riverside Museum
The Riverside Museum (The new Transport Museum) commissioned us to create a drawing mural on their entrance to celebrate the European Museum Awards this month. The drawing was meant to be for one night only but staff and visitors have enjoyed it so much they have decided to keep it up. Get yourself down to check it out. Museum is pretty ace and worth a visit anyway!

Aultbea Hotel

We had a blast up there, if you're touring make sure to swing by the wee village for lovely folks, good times and beautiful views.
Askew- City Centre
.jpg)
Askew was our final artist. He travelled from New Zealand to paint a 6 storey building at the Townhead Campus of the City of Glasgow College at 230 Cathedral Street in the city centre. We partnered with the college for this part of the project, they gave us the site and funding aswell as some very talented students who helped us throughout.
Askew's painting is of a close friend, Leilani Momoisea, a NZ journalist, model and blogger (www.lanisays.com) of Western Samoan, Scottish, Irish and English descent. She is the epitome of what it is to be born and living in current New Zealand, from a generation of migratory NZ ancestry from both the UK and Polynesia. He painted the mural in layers of colour, the last being in white spraypaint. The effect is incredible and the mural very striking.
In Common was a Festival 2014 project to
celebrate the Commonwealth Games coming to Glasgow. 5 murals were painted on
the theme of 'Identity' across the city in July 2014. Here is a map to find all of the sites.
This was a huge wall, without the help of Recoat and college volunteers we could not have pulled it off. Thankyou to all of you!
Thankyou to the City of Glasgow College for accommodating and sponsoring In Common and all their staff who helped and supported us. A special thankyou to Eddie, John and Willie. The Paint Shed gave us vibrant, quality paint, again thankyou!

Best|Ever- Barras- East
Best|Ever were our English reps on In Common, a duo of talented artists recently arrived back from a project in The Gambia. They painted a wall next to Moncur Street in the Barras. Their trip north of the border was fraught with problems but they battled through to create an amazing mural depicting an imposing female made of abstracted colours and photo-real features as a symbol of hope and change for the Barras and the East of Glasgow.

Elph- Maryhill- North
We were delighted to select Elph as our Scottish representative for our In Common project. We've worked with him for many years and rate him very highly. He painted a distinctive, colourful piece at 1148 Maryhill Road. He visited the area and worked with children at East Park School. He incorporated many of their ideas, suggestions from local residents and Maryhill buildings and landmarks into his playful mural.

Faith 47- Ibrox- South
Faith47 from South Africa painted a beautifully subtle piece for our In Common
project in Ibrox. She worked through the sun and the rain to create an intriguing portrait of a powerful woman. A string is tangled in her fingers and a wrought iron feature guards her. A sentence runs along the wall that says, "THAT ONE CAN GIVE WHAT ONE DOES NOT POSSES, OH THE MIRACLE OF EMPTY HANDS".
