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. Applying the various trends to art instead of kids dancing leads to interesting results like with the sculpture above by Nasser Azam , you can check them out and follow me here .  SWEETHEARTGRIPS by Vagrant Real Esta...

ElphOne at Go-Reborn!

An Edinburgh local, Elph is a graffiti artist of international stature. Having first seen his work on a gift card in Schuch I instantly liked his style and his characters. 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...

Degree Show 2018 at Grays School of Art!

After all my recommendations about seeing the show more than once and taking it in properly I only managed a quick whizz around on Sunday, the last day of the show. Sadly a lot of work had already been moved either due to scheduling conflicts (lots of design and fashion work is shipped to London for the new designers showcase) while others had simply decided it was time to abandon ship and get their work home. After 3 years and probably one of the busiest weeks of their lives I can't say I blame them. But there was still plenty of visual delights to take in and some really great work on show. Starting in the Com Design space I enjoyed a lot of the vinyl related work with some great entries for the Super 7 competition. Kelsey Macdonald and Siobhan Keegans work was on point and the Aberdeen branding really drew me in also. Through in the old sculpture hall I just missed the spider table (check it here ) but I enjoyed my friend Jake Shepards show, a mix of steel and concrete, bla...
