The end or just the beginning?

This week sees the final session of The Spacemakers, a series of six Thursday evenings where people have come together to look at creative responses to the urban setting. New friendships have been made and a lot of fun has been had. This week participants are out making their responses in the city which will be shared this Thursday. I will be leaving Dundee as my Nine Trades work winds up, but it seems there is a strong desire for the group to continue. Big thanks to Hannah Maclure and D-Air and all the participants for making it such a success.

Long live the Spacemakers!

LIFE at Hannah Maclure

Sun was out so we escaped the library and went for a Blether and a cuppa on the balcony.

Phil revealed his art....

It's on both sides.

Garry Whitton and Blender

I've seen some strange places Dundee... but the home of local animator Garry Whitton takes the prize. It's the only one with a gong and a telephone box in the entrance hall, scattered around his humble abode are the many animation figures he has created over the years. Look out the window for stunning evening views across the Tay.

Garry gave Alistair and I a quick intro to Blender ( a free, open source 3D content creation suite) and the work he has made. We were able to create enchanting moving images just using a gamepad. We'd love Garry to have drop by the library and share the tool with groups such as Grey Lodge and LIFE.

If you want to see his creations in action or meet Garry come to the event at Hannah Maclure Friday 2 July. Its great fun to play with (there's a video of it in action at Drouthys Bar here).

Pie-tastic!

Desperate for pie I nipped out to Hannah Maclure tonight and found Nine Trades artist Ben Robinson at the Yuck n Yum event eyeing up a variety of pies at

PIE ROULETTE.

One look at his specs brought back some freaky Bad Glasses memories flooding back from the 1980's

PLAYTIME!

Thursday evening The Spacemakers went out to play ...
