Whoop whoop. Juxtapoz just did interview with Kirsty on their Blog, apparently we're a power house! Read on...

Look what clever FiST did!

360 of New Faces.

Made me smile on a day with the cold...

Update:
Looked at this again... I don't think this is a joke?! Is it real?

Just got through the first painting photos from Matt Mignanelli for his solo show which opens on the 2nd of April. Can't wait! Get saving those pennies! He is flying over from New York for the show to paint a mural in the space.

Next show is from quality duo, Good Wives and Warriors. Opens on 26th Feb 7-10pm. They are creating a bunch of new work and painting a mural all over our windows, delighted. The girls have worked together since they met at Art School in Glasgow. Since then they've gone on to travel the world, work for the likes of MTV, Adidas and Swatch and be featured in Taschen’s Illustration Now Volume 3 and IdN ‘The Illustration Special’.

You can't miss it! You can see some previous work here, but check back after the opening for all artwork and photos.

Our pals Hells and Ejek are doing colab show at the Art School Vic Bar, opens tonight 5-7pm. Runs for a week. See you there...

New Faces got a quality review in Fabric Magazine. Check it out.

New Faces opened on Friday, was quality opening and show looks amazing. Mural turned out pretty sweet too!

You can see all the artwork and photos from the opening on our Flickr.

Lyken created this wee film with footage from the Advanced mechanics opening night, featuring stills from our mate Mateos.

Sounds: "Planky Planky" by Elph & "Advncd Mchncs "by Lyken Love.

Just a wee hint at what our artists have been getting up to preparing the space for tonights opening of New Faces. See you here 7pm!

We opened Advanced Mechanics at Pageant on Friday. Was quality show, thanks to everyone who made it down. It runs till the 13th of Feb so still plenty of time to see it.
You can see all the artwork and murals here. And you can buy the artwork here.

On the 22nd of Jan 2010, 7-10pm we open New Faces, a group show that includes a varied selection of artists, established names like the London based, prolific and well known illustrator Andrew Rae and Scottish graffiti artist Elph alongside new Glasgow School of Art graduate, Conzo and newly emerging graphic artist FiST. Also showing is Michigan based artist, Jon Macnair and South African painter, Theory One, both showing in the UK for the first time. Last but not least is the female street artist, Syrkus.

Character Design has become a genre in its own right within illustration, graphic and street art over the last decade. We've chosen a collection of artists that we feel represent different areas within this genre and highlight the importance and validity of this new area of design and development.

It runs till the 21st of February open 12-6pm Tuesday to Sunday.

Advanced Mechanics, the follow up to Haunted Graffiti from Elph and Lyken, opens next Friday 15th Jan, 7-10pm at Pageant 10 Laurieston Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9DJ. It runs till the 13th February.

Lyken's abstract work seeks to illustrate a phosphorescent subatomic universe of molecular motors, protein pistons & chemical energy. Elph draws from a love of comic books and manga/anime, creating a hectic mash up of machinery and spaceships. For this show he will be following a female astronaut and her adventures in the dark reaches of the galaxy, otaku style.

The pair will execute a large-scale mural in the gallery space which will serve as a backdrop to this new work. There will also be a limited edition tshirts available for sale on the opening night & a give away disc featuring a specially commissioned music track & platform game.

See you there!

Even the Clyde is frozen.

Woohoo! It sure is cold out there. We've had quality Christmas and New Year, hope you all have too. We're still closed till the 22nd but we're working on the show for Pageant on the 15th ad the new show for Recoat on the 22nd.
Enjoy the weather while it lasts and good luck with all those resolutions.

Merry Christmas one and all, we hope you have a great Christmas and Hogmany party fun! We'll see you in the new year for Advanced Mechanics at Pageant on the 15th and at our opening 2010 show on the 22nd!

Having loaded up this image, questioning my judgement, what is he supposed to be?! A reindeer?!

Anyway, happy holidays. We sign off at 6pm tonight. xxx

On 22nd Januray we open our first exhibition at Recoat of 2010. The theme is 'modern character design'. Got a group of amazing artists participating. roll on the new year!!

We close at 6pm on Wednesday, and we then reopen on the 22nd January 2010. But we're opening a new show from duo, Elph and Lyken in Edinburgh at Pageant on the 15th January 2010 as our first show of the new year. The exhibition is a follow up to their Haunted Graffiti show they did with us just a few months ago. Plans are coming together for computer game, music, rocket and of course, lots of new artwork. See you there!

Visited the big smoke this week, visited friends, ate amazing food, biked the crazy streets, visted the Pop Art show at the Tate, went to see the amazing 'Where the Wild Things Are', caught Sickboy's one night only exhibition, popped into the Colette X Nissan Cube launch on Bricklane and went to stupid amount of bike shops. What alot of fun.
