Not a massive graff head but I liked this Tox tube map that went online and sold out in 40 seconds on Friday.

Ernst Hass is dead good at abstract street photos. He took a lot of photos in New York around the 60’s

Excellent choice! I’m pretty sure this guy travels and shoots all his own photos before make this paintings…which is pretty much taking the piss amounts of talent.
Not a single artist but I went to this photography exhibition last weekend:
Defo worth a look if you like nerding out at space related images.
I’m up in Glasgow next week with my lady, has anyone got any recommendations for galleries apart from Kelvingrove and the Modern Art Gallery?

Went on a bit of a walk around Glasgow’s East End yesterday afternoon. Took me past a gallery in which a Danish artist had ‘installed’ 10 IKEA Billy Bookcases:
They were making some sort of comment about how in installing them it was the first time someone had touched the wood of the bookcases since the trees had been planted in Poland in the 1980s, and the globalised networks of business, manufacturing and distribution that had come in between.
Pretty daft but I enjoyed seeing Glasgow in the evening sun.

This was David Dale Gallery, but probably not worth a visit! Just a small gallery. I have just moved up here so haven’t checked out many galleries but Tramway on the Southside, the Huntarian Art Gallery in the West End, and the Modern Institute in Merchant City are all on my list to check out. But no idea if they are any good!
I’m heavily influenced by Bridget Riley and people like Victor Varasely etc or should I say that I take influences from visions under the influence of mushrooms and they take me to similar places.
I wish I could take snapshots of the evolving ideas that I form, i’d really enjoy recreating the beautiful oddness.
I am convinced that Paul Klee was heavily into the same way for inspiration, (as do countless others I imagine) as I created a prolific mind catalogue of work that I was really excited about and when I came out I felt that I’d seen similar before and Klee came to mind. Lots of similarities. Unfortunately, very few hang around in memory and fade quickly.
I am working on a piece at the moment based on something that popped into my head and evolved just before sleep, sober.
People always think of the typical trippy visuals which is a disservice to what you can create in your head.

Whilst we’re unsurprisingly talking about skate relater art. Who remembers Phil Frost’s artwork outside Slam?

The things people will do to avoid the new council charge for bulk uplift… Look out for an installation of soiled mattresses soon.

Yeah, good idea, get away with fly tipping by sticking a Tracey Emin plaque on it.
