Unveiled this morning at Hillhead Tube station. Such were the crowds gathered to witness it, everyone was late for w*rk AGAIN.
It's looking mighty, and so very very Alasdair. Got the WE in wan, you might say......... ;D
Sharp Stingers, Hard Workers, Greedy Raptors, Brain Babies, Financial Wizards, Lucky Dogs, Fiery Dragons, Head Cases, Queer Fish.
Already the speculations started over who he meant........ ;D ;D ;D

Had a closer swatch at it yesterday......takes up a whole wall of our new refurbed and frankly lovely tube station. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-19612581It is fitting that Glasgow's investing in beautifying our public spaces ;D George Square next up; major reworking in the pipeline to undo the damage GCC did when it thought it advisable to remove trees and green spaces and tarmac it over. It's time it was restored to something like its previous glory. And BTW, Westie, plans to refurb the Kelvingrove bandstand that's been derelict for so long are now well underway. |

Tube station was really quiet tonight so me and the wean lingered awhile, the muriel is GENIUS, overall and in tiny wee details you don't notice at first... We had a laugh slotting WE people we know into Alasdair's various categories of West End denizens. The wean was pleased when I put her in Brain Babies, and I was pretty flattered when she put me in Independent Women and Lovely Mums...(now about that expensive pair of shoes you're after m'dear.... ;D) Anyway, I hope you might enjoy this clip of Alasdair. Also includes other examples of his work at Oran Mor, then the Chip. And some references and street views that 'some' will know really rather well, Bormes.  You have to hand it to STP for commissioning such a relevant, brilliant piece of public art. I'm not sure Alasdair's even aware of the love and respect West Enders have for him or the impact his work has on us. A person that makes life better... local.stv.tv/glasgow/magazine/189807-folk-of-all-kinds-alasdair-gray-on-new-hillhead-subway-station-mural/ |
