BP portrait awards
it is that time of year again for mooching galleries, and the portrait gallery in Edinburgh is a gem which just happened to have the BP Portrait awards on. Lucky me.

fly on the wall – another “Literal Quote”
just dropping this off at the Design Exchange in Ocean Terminal if anyone fancy’s a permanent “fly on the wall” – a mini camera can be mounted behind the pic.
modern gustav – Inge Prader channeling Gustav
Came across some Inge Prader images replicating Gustav Klimt which he did for an annual AIDS charity event in Vienna. Utter amazeballs.

pimp my walls with some “Literal Quotes”
Fancy some new “art” for your walls or a unique present with that season upon us, then can I suggest a wander to Ocean Terminal. Situated in the backside of Leith, adjacent to the waste plant, the Scottish Government building, with one of the Queen’s old pimp mobiles berthed alongside, OT, as the locals call it has an Aladdin’s cave to be discovered. On the first floor next to Debenhams you will find the Scottish Design Exchange @scotdesignex – the wonders inside will provide those special gifts and unique wall hangings you were searching for.

new studio space
still moving in and figuring out the layout but liking the dimensions, ambience and Leith Walk banter.
the age of creativity
Does the creative process slow down as you age and do you “loose it” when you hit middle age? I like Degas take on it – “Everyone has talent at 25,” which is true, “the difficulty is to have it still at 50.”
Laura Cumming briefly looks at this in http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/nov/15/seven-ages-of-an-artist-laura-cumming which is worth a read for Carmen Herrera quote in the final paragraph. Enjoy.
game cat warning
Nzt Knowledge is for the few, not the herd. It is a multicoloured ladder of dreams, made by the heavenly for their own enjoyment. Dangerous to the innocent. That’s you. It cannot be bought, if someone tries to sell you it, believe me, it is fake, a pirate copy. Pirates will not bestow any knowledge, just steal your money, and bring you grief. A swarm of sadness and vipers instead of peace and knowledge. And if you don’t know what I am talking about, you shouldn’t be anywhere near Knowledge Nzt.
Your only warning. Be careful x
