I was in the newly refurbished Kelvingrove Café last Sunday for a bloody Mary and some sliders. Its been subtly designed with a great integration of its old original features.
I did a picture of it over 4 years ago when it was derelict here
Featuring one of my favourite Glasgow buildings, the City of Glasgow College. I think its heavily inspired by Le Corbusier, its got an unusual subtle angle at the front with unusual elements sitting on the top, they say its takes its cues from a boat.
I was lucky to be asked to contribute a piece to this compilation of postcards with 23 artists and 23 writers. Its a beautifully put together package and a joy to look through the variety of artworks and read the accompanying poems. It features work by Camilla Engman, Lisa Congdon, Elsa Mora, Mónica Naranjo Uribe, Helen de la Guardia and many more.

Siempre a great new(ish) café in the west end of Glasgow that serves great food and coffee as well as being a bike shop.

Some new postcard from the exchange coming in. From the right a comic from James Howard (The Mooks), a glider in watercolour by Ettore Schioppa from Italy and a subtle landscape with some nice calligraphy by Pat Southern-Pearce.
Its a lovely tiny post office and coffee shop in Port Bannatyne. I was painting outside for over an hour but was feeling the cold and came here for some shelter. A really welcoming place and although I didn’t have any coffee they really proud of the quality and way they serve it.
