Got 20 of these beauties to give away tomorrow night at the opening, you gotta be there!

On the 15th of August we’re holding a live paint jam at the gallery from 6pm onwards where SHEONE, O.TWO and Stefan Plaetz will paint alongside REKOR, LYKEN and ELPH. Come down to hangout and watch the magic happen!

On the 16th of August we're opening our birthday exhibition, The Bothan Spynetwork, from 7-10pm. We asked our good friend Scott Wilson of SLAMXHYPE (www.slamxhype.com/blogs/Bothanspynet) fame, to help us curate the show. 25 artists will be showing, you can see them on the flyer above. Participants include New York graffiti legends, Futura, Stash, Crash and Daze, world famous fashion photographer, Fatsarazzi, renowned toy designer, Klim Kozinevich, Scrawl Collective members, OTWO, and Steff Plaetz, tattoo artists, Charlie Shazer and BJ Betts, trainer designers, JB and Mdot from JB Classics Lab®, pop artist, Dave White, and recent Tate Britain exhibitor, SHE ONE.

Not only is this exhibition amazing due to the individuals taking part, it is also one of the rare times where the street culture community will be represented so well, with artists ranging across media, backgrounds, generations and styles, all coming together in a fest of quality, skill and energy.

As if you didn’t want to make it to Glasgow enough, the first 3 people to arrive will receive a VESTAL watch and the first 20 people will receive a limited edition t-shirt that has the signature of every participating artist on the back.

After the opening there’s going to be a RECOAT X GOODLIFE party from 10pm- 3am at the Art School, 168 Renfrew St, Glasgow. Free Entry.

On Monday we left Glasgow to travel the country dropping off the big pieces from ELPH's show to their new lucky owners. We went to London town, visited INSA on Monday, ate meat with meat and visited Stolenspace on Tuesday, then cruised on down to Cornwall and all the way back to bonny Scotland on Wednesday. We travelled a cool 1300 miles.

We opened our latest exhibition, Bizarre Brood, a solo exhibition from Russell Dempster last Friday. It was lovely and busy, everyone enjoying the bar sponsored by The Flying Duck, our new well stocked fridge sent over in support from Red Bull, and all the beautiful pencils sent up by Derwent.

The work is amazing, everything we had hoped for from graphite obsessed Dempster. You can see all the photos and pieces at:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/recoat/sets/72157604437806320/

The show will be open till Wednesday 28th May from Tuesday to Sunday 12pm- 6pm.

Last week we went on a wee mission down to Newcastle to check out the Barry McGee exhibition at the Baltic. Was fantastic show, highly recommend it.
