Marmite Skies

Late Monday night , we arrived home after 24 hours of being awake to a surprisly mild Montreal .

Our trip to Aberdeen was awesome , the show had a great turn out , we got lots of press and best of all had a 12 course vegan Japanese feast with Emma and Joe, I could barely walk after! The place is called Yatai and both the service and the food were excellent. We just told the waiter we were vegan and that we wanted a lil' of everything and both our servers and the chef were so acomodating. The bill was surprisingly low considering the the quality & quantity of the food.

Despite a huge case of nerves on behalf of both of us , I think the screenprinting class went quite well and am hoping at least a few of the people in the class are gonna be inspired to continue with printmaking.

The Peacock had us do a new art print , that they will take with them to the Glasgow Art Fair , they also extended an invitation for us to come back and produce a lithograph! That and our recent grant approval are the 2 best things to happen in my life in a while.

Us and Emma , curator extrodinaire and the one who made it all happen.


Now we're settled back into civilian life , doing a corporate job to make a bit of money and then working on personal stuff for our BALTIC show in May from here till we leave for tour in two weeks.

Life is pretty sweet.

thanks guys. we're feelin' pretty lucky to have gotten 2 grants. After being refused so many times , I was ready to give up on applying.
We're really trying to get our house in order to spend more time on "fine art" , my fingers are crossed.
