We've managed to secure a lovely selection of Nigel Peake's work from those fine people at Analogue Books, a trailblazing book- and zine-store on the Grassmarket which is worth a long, hard look at. Yesterday I sat perusing 'Maps', an intricate and maze-like tome that is made for poring over and re-reading as its delicate and thoughtful musings on the nature of maps shimmer and shift with promise. Talking of delicate, Kate McKay's swallow illustrations (in the hot room overlooking the Crags) is starting to blossom and a flock of migrating art-swallows now trace their way across the canvas. Matthew Swan's funky and chaotic illustration at the other end of the space is chock-a-block with finely drawn images of faces and eyes and shapes and swirls - merits a further look when you pop in.
We are buzzing about holding another party this weekend at the go-reborn space - an excellent place to check out our fabulousness but also see the fireworks without the hell of the Royal Mile and being ushered like a sheep or drone into the Tattoo. More info on Facebook and Twitter to follow but keep your eyes peeled for Jaco's little white tickets which are being disseminated about town and will be your entry into the wacked-out world of 'go-reborn'.
M.O.C & White Chocolate (from DoIt!) will be presenting audio and visual treats and we are very excited to have Elph, legendary Edinburgh illustrator, on canvas all night and who we're sure will be producing some typically incandescent work. His website and blog are stunning and should be seen here.
