Fun party this past Wednesday for the closing night. Good turn-out at ig:lu. Everyone seemed to be in the mood to let loose… especially the two Canadian friends I have in town for the holidays. This is hardly art related but I just have to mention (with his permission) that one of the friends fulfilled a dream by buying a full kilt on day two of his Scottish adventure. He couldn’t wait to bust it out for the party, and boy did he ever. True to Scottish tradition (or so we’re lead to believe), he went commando under his kilt. I think he felt the need to prove it as the night went on.
There was some lovely art at the show – I just wish I had taken the time to document it a little better before the first few glasses of mulled wine were guzzled. There are a few beauties from Sarah Barney of Ladyface, and some amazing detail work in Gavin Downie’s work “Mind Games” (photo by Georgina Coburn).
Many other talented artists were there (Michael Forbes, Shaun MacDonald, TillyHoney, Nathan Mellis, Chris (simpsons artists), Do-Glo Productions, Holli, Andrew Newton, Graeme Roger, Henriettas Ludgate, Robbie Mackintosh, Richard Maddalena, Rosie Newman.
Managed to conquer a major fear of playing in front of a crowd that night as well, thanks to the support of friends. Terrifyingly fun. (Thanks also to Sid Innes for providing equipment and infectious enthusiasm.)
The Canadians, along with help of Chris (Simpson Artist), pretty much closed out the night belting tunes until 4am. Truly, *ahem*, magical. Such a fun night and a great first gallery experience for me. Merry xmas eve.
