'Zerioz Bizniz' at Project Slogan!

Zerioz Bizniz is the new illustration show on at Project Slogan. Its features some pretty awesome work from Jack Teagle, Greer Pestar, Stephanie Homa, Zeroten, Ewan Manson & Alice Bethune Spicer. My favourite pieces are probably the first ones below by Ewan, pencil drawn colour triangles, simple yet they look amazing and I think everyone saw something different in them! The show should be on for a month so pop past Project Slogan, get a coffee, a cake and see some good art!

Deen Scene - Good Stuff #20!

So it's another art & culture round up and fear not, there'll be no mention of creative funding opportunities here! Instead I like to focus on things that have given me a boost, whether its individual artists, projects or musical mixtapes. I've always been interested on what's happening here in Aberdeen but also what's happening further afield and with friends scattered across the globe I'm inundated with photos and videos of what they're up to and its nice to share some of their content and to build up better connections. Of course you can't overlook the Granite City and all that it has to offer, especially for the avid tiktoker. Yes, I've taken the plunge and have been using the app for a few weeks now and I have to say its fun.

So I was pretty pleased to hear he would be doing some live painting at Go-Reborn when we were down. Almost as soon as we walked in I noticed the amazing canvas being worke don at the back and sure enough it was the man himself. After a quick chat we left him to it and started to set up for the night time but made sure to keep an eye on his progress throughout the night. After finally calling it a night at 2am we headed off for a night on the town which ended in Fingers Bar, a true gem in Edinburgh's crown. The music was awfull, the punters were ming but Elph kept our spirits up with his stories and his banter! Check out his website HERE where you can purchase his work at ridiculous prices and also his blog HERE , with a show coming up in Glasgow's RECOAT Gallery , I really can't wait to see wh...
