OCD spider?

It was drawn to my attention one day as a friend was cleaning the spider webs off some plants in the garden that some of our spider friends may have a wee bit of OCD! I dont know how clear the images are but im sure you get the idea that all the 'spider snacks' are lined up very neatly, dont you think?

Art at home

My town in Orkney is small and quiet during the winter, during summer you have the lively hum of the tourist season but all year round i feel that we have a great art community. The Pier Arts Center is now hosting by a Scottish artist Jim Lambie. I just thought this show was very worth mentioning! AMAZING

The fluorescent Green sprayed battle helmet is great!

Child's play

Over the summer period i wanted to be productive and produce some art, i started off well and did one or two drawings a day. As you can guess the pile got quite high and what better thing to do for a poor wee student like myself is to try make some money.

My work is now being shown at a local gallery, i hope you like what i have done!

These are my three pieces i have displayed at this very moment!

AMAZING COLOUR CAKE

For our friends late Birthday we had not such a surprise party for him! I would have to say the main even of the party although excluding the greatness of the hostess was the lovely Smartie encrusted cake!

Look AT THE GREATNESS OF THE CAKE!! HANK YOU MICHAEL AND AMY FOR MAKING SUCH A GLORIOUS NOMO OM CAKE!

I think fun was had by all and Iain was fair chuffed!

Drawing for mens wear

There we have some drawings i did for the mens wear section of my first year. i mainly used water colour in these ones as well as in the third image ink pen. I go a very good in my assessment of the drawings so i guess that means that the tutors like them just a little bit! I hope you guys like them as well! :3

MORE form the Boarders

More from the life in the borders and the wee web of places we went near Galashiels. I think that Jedburgh was the winning place on the list of places we went to in the Borders and i dont think thats just because it was just sunny! The Abby that we viewed from outside the gates was lovely, went a wee look see to a house that Mary Queen of Scott's stayed and then to the Jail!!! Nell did not like the Jail one bit with the fake models of people in the prison cells, mother also had a Jump or two! although i couldn't blame her they were rather creepy!

To top the day off we plucked the carcass of the pheasant roadkill for there lovely feathers, i wish i didn't have such a bad gag reflex!... heave! :3

FAMILY

In the sunny town of gala my family came to see me WOOT WOOT! so as i have now lived in the borders for a few months and have not visited the areas around my family having a car decided to do wee day trips across the Scottish borders! yahooo!

First night in Gala for my Brother and lucky for him there was some live Reggea/rock music praformed by his old band Pray For Ryan! They even asked him to join them on stage to sing!

The map is of all the places we have visited so far, i live in happy Galashiels...

This is the happy family in Peedie Peebles, i think we all liked this town the best. We also went a wee look see around the church and town area. Also a wee bit of trivia for you is that the town of Peebles is a twin town with the French village Hendaye, which is in the Basque country and very near to where Robin is from. The sun even came out in time for us to all to have some ICE CREAM! Nom NOm. as usual Nell had MINT CHOC CHIP! I had tasty AMERICAN CREAM SODA, mum had RUM AND RAISIN and Kevin had Fudge CRUNCH. SO TASTY!

This lovely mothers day we all went out to a tasty Indian in Selkirk! so much food! STUFFED
