Random review of 09, so far...

Been going through photos from the past year, here's a random selection of what's been happening:

This is actually from about 1 year ago... an extremely small, fluffy and cute Henrietta, cat of my friend Mo.

Brian Ross had a solo show at Hamnavoe back in Jan...

Donny, Mo, Chris and Allison were there

In spring we went to Germany for a few days, stopping in Liepzig and Berlin...

Obligatory Berlin Wall photo

Kauf dich Glucklich cafe... best pint of Weihenstephan I ever did have


...and the cool wee birds

1 litre flagons - woozy!

Breakfast in the Cafe Wintergarten at the Literaturhaus. Berlin has some creative buskers - a guy came into the gardens and bellowed some shakespeare from memory for a good 20 mins.

Holocaust memorial

Brandenburg gate

A decaying Swoon wheatpaste in Prenzlauer Berg...


...and Katherine Grosse at the Temporäre Kunsthalle


Lots of nice parks in Berlin...

The fantastic Dolores restaurant, the closest you'll get to a proper SF Mission burrito in Europe I reckon...

Had dinner one night in an amazing little restaurant called Zur Rose...


In July I got married to my amazing lady Allison. We had a 'pre-wedding' beach party at Balmedie near Aberdeen:

Then we ran off to get hitched in San Francisco:

Followed by a week in paradise at Tulum, Mexico, where we stayed in a cabana on the beach. Good times...









Back in Aberdeen, we've had some nights of this:

Followed by some mornings of this:

...the biggest cake portions in town at the Breadmakers

And last weekend my beautiful wife and I went berry picking...

mmm, blackberries!

In Mexico right now on our honeymoon - got married in San Francisco on Thursday!

Website Update

Hey. Just been working on updating the website, still alot to do but check it out.

optical delusion of conciousness...

“A human being is part of the whole called by us, universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”

Albert Einstein, 1954

I've been really busy recently - had a solo exhibition 'Castlegate' at Peacock Visual Arts which finishes on Saturday (just finishing off a small publication for that), finishing off the Project Slogan 'kal-eye-doscope' for a performance/video this spring, and also planning for getting married to my beautiful, amazing girlfriend in July!

New post coming soon with photos and details about 'Castlegate', and news of some upcoming projects.

Check out the website for some past work, this'll also be getting updated soon!
