Eight Arms of Inspiration: The Octopus Project!

Stuart Allan put me onto this project when he finished a beautiful and dark octopus print and then submitted it for The Octopus Project. Some pretty amazing work is featured on the facebook page so I initially trawled through it picking out my favourites with the intention of posting 8 (Octo after all) but really struggled because there's just so many awesome pics. But I managed to narrow it down to these 16! And the first one below is by Stuart Allan and you can now buy a limited edition print from his big cartel store! 16 x 8 Arms = Lots of Inspiration!!!

Deen Scene - What's On # 16!

Its been another hectic few months and with Christmas and New Year looming there's not much sign of it slowing down. But its good to take a minute to recap what's been happening probably for the last time this year and to see what's coming up for 2019!   Before that though press play on the mix tape above from Lucky Me artist Jacques Greene . I've been listening to this a lot over the last couple of weeks and I've found it an uplifting trip for this rather bleak and depressing time of year. Although released in April the EP which features many of these new tracks has just been released and can be purchased via his website / Lucky Me shop . Other musical highlights this month include this beautiful cover of 'Avril 14th' by Aphex Twin on a pedal steel guitar, rediscovering the amazing Jeff Buckley and despite not going to see him at The Lemon Tree I've still had 'SIX' by Mansun on heavy rotation, a masterpiece from the late 90's that ...

Deen Scene - What's On # 12!

Another hectic month but lots of great things happening so here's my round up of whats been happening and whats coming up! Local skateboard company Doric Skateboards have just celebrated their 1st year in business, a year that's seen a dream become a reality for founder Gary Kemp and one that's helped add a bit of community spirit that I think has been missing from the Aberdeen skate scene. As Gary has grown in confidence so has his output as he continues to promote Aberdeen and also noting the importance of the cities creative community. His first collab series with artist Honk went down a treat and now he's teamed up with designer extraordinaire Gabi Reith aka Small Stories . Riffing off the classic John Rattray photo where he's doing an impossible looking wall ride next to graffiti "Adeen thugs kill all visiting fans" Gabi has switched things up and added a more positive spin as a skater drops in on a giant beard. Decks have been selling fast ...
