Photo shoot for The Lucy Zambers EP

Wednesday evening was spent in the delightful company of Aberdeen based singer songwriter Lucy Zambers. She and her manager - my good friend The Mule - drove down to El Studio Diablo to work on the cover for Lucy's forthcoming EP.

I'm still not sure where the final image is going but there was an anvil, a man dressed in a skeleton costume wearing a monkey mask and Lucy was covered in black paint. Not your average Wednesday evening to be sure.


Here's one of the first shots. Things got a bit stranger after this.


I think Lucy was having murderous thoughts.

 Here's what has just fallen off the easel. I am working on a number of smaller pieces for the Edinburgh Art Fair. A few of my more talented associates and I will have a stall there in November so please come and see us. A bargain or two may be found.


I am just back from Poznan in Poland where I was visiting my talented artist friend John Vanston Smyth. Here is a photo of me, Edinburgh cityscape artist Gareth Beare and Mr Smyth in front of the Palace in Rogalin. They had rather inconveniently closed their public collection to the public. Well done Poznan!


I found this photo lurking on the internet the other day. Here's Fife Provost Jim Leishman telling MSP John Park, Coburg Studio's Mastermind John Gibson and myself a story... or was it a lesson in kungfu? 

That's all Folks!

Work Experience?

This is Sam the Work Experience slave. He is working with me in the studio this week in an attempt to gain some relevant experiences of working life. I stifle a chuckle at this juncture. He is doing Scottish Highers  next (A level equivalent I think) so still has some time to figure out an easier way to make a living than being a visual artist. It's been such a long time since I did my work experience in a theatre in Yorkshire that I had forgotten that daunting time of life when one is faced with important choices about the future. He seems like a bright lad and I'm sure he will be fine.

Can't use a staple gun for shit though.

He has worked hard so far and has made me two very well primed canvases. It kind of makes me want an assistant or apprentice fulltime.

I will have work at The Affordable Art Fair in Battersea, London  Thursday to Sunday this week  25-28 October 2012, Battersea, London.  I will be showing with The Balman Gallery Here's a couple of LINKLINKS

There Will also be the Edinburgh Art Fair soon and The Coburg House Open studios coming up soon for some bargains. More on that laters min.

I have finally gotten rid of the cast/splint thing from my wrist and hand and will be fully operational from now on. Even though it was my left hand it still made everything pretty tricky. Working has been a minefield of new potential disasters and injuries. 

Anyhoo, watch this space as I wade with 7 working fingers (and two mighty thumbs) into the backlog of work I have before me.



These two little feathery fellas will be on display at Union Gallery Edinburgh from Friday 7th Feb as part of their birdy themed show In the Company of Birds. Here's a LINK

I met up with my old pal Artist Iain Connell this afternoon and had a good blether about his relatively new venture. Iain is sharing his wealth of knowledge of all things artistic through workshops aimed at all ages and levels of ability. So if you are in Glasgow and fancy getting arty why not check out the WEBSITE HERE and pay him a visit.

It's been a crazy busy week with barely a moment to spare. However, I have managed to start a couple of tiny paintings for my pal's new shop in Edinburgh. I have been working on these at home so it's a camera phone photo for now. Here's a very poor photo of my homework. The shop is situated in Edinburgh's uber trendy Broughton street and should raise the temperature a few degrees.

Here's a link to WHITE RABBIT LINK Edinburgh's Erotic Emporium! 


Go see!

Here's what's going on on the tabletop.


Here's a clue as to what is in the pipeline... There's probably a terrible prize if you can guess what this is. Answers to dylanlisle05@hotmail.com.

There's a bit of a rodent issue at Borisova Towers... so I declared war. 
Before anyone lambasts me as cruel or inhumane, the humane trapping method really did not work.

I'm currently visiting family in South Yorkshire and have, predictably, been unable to take a break from working. I am managing to do a bit of this though.


That's all Folks

BARCELONA! 
I am just back from Barcelona with a renewed lust for life. I am convinced that this visually and culturally rich city will be my home in little over a year. It's been a while since I have been this excited about making a positive step towards a better lifestyle. Now...how the hell do I get Leda to Spain.

PRIVATE TUITION

As my last long term One to One student is now exhibiting successfully and getting his fair share of commissions, I now have time to invite another hardworking and ambitious soul to spend a couple of hours weekly or fortnightly with me at the studio. Short courses or life drawing sessions in a variety of styles and mediums also can be arranged. For more information on this... email dylanlisle05@hotmail.com



Whether you wish to add new skills or mediums to your current creative output, refine your existing skills or start completely from scratch, I can help you realise your goals, provide expert technical instruction in a wide variety of mediums, guide you through inspiration to highly finished artwork and hopefully provide insight into life as a working artist. 

The studio, within the thriving Coburg House studios in Leith's Shore area, is relaxed, informal and very doggy friendly. Feel free to give me a call on 07914817947 and invite yourself down for a coffee and a chat about how I can help

Here is an example of what can be achieved with determination and the correct understanding of materials and composition. Alistair walton's terrific painting and a LINK to his website.
