Last year I was commissioned by Tramway to create this mural with and for the lovely people of #Pollokshields on Albert Drive. Huge thanks to Glasgow Gurdwara, Glendale Women’s Cafe, and the young people of Albert Primary for helping identify themes for the design. #Mural #Glasgow

The world your in black sits bottom left of the photo in the mural. Above the woman on the top ledge there are books with titles on their spines such as Food, Plants, Stories, Friends, all things that make up a community.

Photo of a mural wall showing a Sikh woman sitting cross legged on the floor reaching for a plate of food. There are pits and pans stacked behind her in the window and there is also a mug of chai tea at her feet. There is a potted house plant to her left. The colours are bright and the style graphic and illustrative.

I got to paint this uncanny #portrait of my pal as #RobbieBurns, who he’s playing in @wonderfools.org’s upcoming play The Kelton Hill Fair. A mad brief I found very fun and refreshing. You should go see it in #Glasgow next week!

A photo of a man standing in a sunny street with tenement buildings behind him. He is holding an oil painting portrait of himself as Robbie Burns, like a copy of the well known painting.

Photo still if a woman painting a copy portrait of Robbie Burns, with someone else face. The canvas is leaning on a wooden easel and the artist is half in shot off to the left hand side. Her paintbrush is touching the nose of the portrait.

Portrait of the Scottish poet Robbie Burns.

Finished copy of the portrait of Robbie Burns changed to be someone else’s face.

My copies of AD Magazine arrived in the post yesterday! Such a buzz to see my #illustration on the front cover 🙌 I loved chatting to @drrachpayne.bsky.social about the intersection of #art, #education and #gender for this issue. Thanks so much for having me ❤️ #Interview #Feature

Photo of the front cover of a magazine with a colourful illustration showing two women, one in a wheelchair getting their hair clippers by another figure standing behind them. They are in a kitchen. The style of the illustration is graphic and bold.

Took a wee jaunt down to my mural opposite Tramway this morning 🌼🌸 #Glasgow #Mural #Community #PublicArt #Commission

A section of a mural that says 'Boundaries' embedded into the design. It's brightly coloured. There are some hands holding up signs that say 'No to Racism' and 'Festival of Resistance'. There is a silhouettes of a black dog sitting with his back to the viewer, and there is a football flying over his head. There are bright symbols representing buildings, a basketball court, clouds, and books on a shelf.

There is a moon and stars, a potted plant with a monster vine climbing up the wall, as well as lilypads, books and a box of mangoes in the mural. There as also a woman leaning wistfully against the edge of the wall and looking out of the 'window' up at the sky.

#WIP as of Friday messing about with mark making and colour placement in a very instinctual way. A break away from my usual process #Studio #Painting #Abstract

Two abstract paintings lean against a studio wall with unstretched canvas hanging behind. The paintings are abstract mixed media work in progress and consist of different marks, squiggles, loops and block shapes. The main colours consist of dark blues, oranges, pinks and yellows. The marks are made using a combination of spray paint abd acrylic brush work.

The Magritte exhibition at Art Gallery of NSW was incredible. Was basically just grinning like an idiot the whole time, the photos barely do it justice 🌒 #Magritte #Sydney #Exhibition

Painting of a smashed window in a room with a dusky sky beyond the curtains. A bright orange sun sits in the middle of the sky. On thr shards of glass on the floor you can also see the same sky broken up with the shards of glass, unlike a reflection but as if am opaque painting of the sky beyond has broken.

Painting of a huge grey rock in the middle of a room with orangey brown wooden floorboards. There is a window abd a railing behind the rock and beyond that a seascape.

A portrait of Magrittes wife in the centre of a painting enclosed by an oval mirror. There is sky a clouds around her and from left clockwise there is a key, a bird, a leaf branch, a candle, a glove, and a note on crumpled paper surrounding her floating in the sky.

A painting of a room with a pink floor, at the back there is a painting of a rough sea and a boat, on either wall there are what's looks like chip boards with squares cut out of them leaning against the edges. There is a white table in the foreground with a mannequins hand

One of my favourite projects this year was getting to take over this room inside a London townhouse for Moniker Art Fair during #FriezeWeek (1) 📸 AngryJalebi #Immersive #Painting #Installation #Illustration #Handpainted #London

A photo of the corner of a colourful hand painted room. Two figures on either wall lean into the corner to whisper in each other's ears. There is a flash of bendy neon strip light across the ceiling, and the floor is pink and green checkerboard. The mural style is painterly and dynamic.

A photo of the corner of a colourful hand painted room. A figures lies on their side speaking into a red telephone. The telephone chord is a bendy neon strip light that curls it's way across the ceiling. The floor is pink and green checkerboard and there is a window on the adjacent wall with a pink frame. The mural style is painterly and dynamic.

Close up of a section of a painted room, showing the face of one of the figures. The figure is pale and had pink flushed cheeks. Their face is partially obscured by their hand which is holding a red telephone to their ear. The chord of the telephone is a strip neon light. They are surrounded by bright, painterly colours.

If you are an artist struggling with a nagging discomfort or pain when you work. Stop. Go and get that shit checked out and start doing recommended, corrective exercises. It will not get better if you just push through. It will get worse and harder to correct. Please take care of yourself.

Two colourful framed artworks hanging on a white wall. One says 'Eat out' the other 'purple, pink, orange'. The frames are brightly planted with brushes of colour and the artworks hang above a bright yellow bench om the floor.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them
