I spent most of last Sunday night and Monday morning up in Aberdeen, to see my friends work on display at Kilau Coffee. I've known Stu Ford since his days in Edinburgh, and posted a little while ago about his wedding in Las Vegas. Stu Allan a more recent friend, but his work no less mighty.
Their work couldn't be more different really, the first Stu an illustrator pulling inspirations from Japanese and Skateboard cultures (the works of Jeremy Fish spring to mind). All framed a little mismatched only adding to their charm. The second Stu works mainly oil on canvas (or skateboard), and creates somewhat eerie and moving paintings. The kind of pieces you wouldn't want to be left in a room with too long on your own.







The show was orchestrated by Wld Wlves (your new favourite blog) and sponsored by Brewdog, anCnoc whisky and Mearns&Gill. Its doesn't take a genius to figure out when you've got two drinks brands throwing alcohol at you, it can turn out to be a messy night. Cue after party images.





The show runs until Saturday 8th October, so if you're in Granite City, get yourself along there.
If you're ever in Exodus in Aberdeen, don't start taking pictures as its quite likely either a girl dipped in orange, or a very large bald man with gold studs for teeth will think you work there and want you to take their picture. There's that international gesture for 'take my picture' you can recognise no matter how wasted you might be. I had to oblige, even if I charged then for it. Now I've got a load of pictures of randoms (not pictured) I don't know what to do with.
