I have been quite busy over the past few weeks, my son Graeme and his wife Briony arrived from Australia for a short break, so I spent some time with them, including a trip to the Banksy ‘Cut and Run’ exhibition in Glasgow’s GOMA, something I enjoyed and would highly recommend.
Due to the school holidays, my mate Jim asked me to help him with some childcare duties, so Jim, Jack, Dylan, and I headed off to Lanark to see the stunning murals depicting William Wallace painted by Rogue One, followed by a wander around the town to find the twenty huge dinosaur sculptures are in place in the town centre and the nearby Castlebank Park, despite the rainy weather we all had a great day.
We stopped off on the way home to visit some more murals, this time at the Glasgow Distillery on Moffat Street, it was good to see the work of Rogue One alongside Molly Hankinson, Michael Corr, and Ellie Mills on a set of tanks.
On Saturday, we visited Phillies in Shawlands for a farewell party for my son and daughter-in-law where I ‘discovered’ ‘Cecile the Lion’ painted by DZIA in 2015 when he was invited by the Heverlee brewery when they were setting up a pop-up Belgian beer bar. On the way home via Giffnock I then came across a fine mural on the wall of El Jefes restaurant painted by one of my favourite Glasgow guys, Frodrik.
Once I had created this post, I discovered that I had neglected the site for a while, so with a bit of time on my hands, I set about adding the stuff I had missed lately. The pages I have added to, or appended are as follows:
Yardworks 2023 – Melbourne Suburbs – Frankston
Silo Art Trail – Rone Time – The Artists (various)
