Recent radio silence due to never ending house move but slowing I’m beginning to unpack and settle in. I’m hoping to reopen my online shop in a few weeks and get back to some new artwork. Sketch of the new view courtesy of Paul McWilliams 🖤

I’ve got two for Sat going as I can’t go (cryptic post trying to avoid spambots)

My third illustration to celebrate 170 years of Keppie Design

The Vale of Leven hospital. The first NHS hospital in the UK opened in 1955.

Mon the NHS! ♥️

A late March calendar update this month as I am still in house moving limbo/hell.

March features the Hat Rack and the Livingstone Tower. Both similar in stature but polar opposites in style

#Glasgow

Glasgow was looking magnificent in the sun today. The day rounded off perfectly by a talk from Lost Glasgow as part of the Keppie Design 170th anniversary celebrations

Enjoyed the talk Norry! ✊

Don’t go changing Glasgow

I enjoyed capturing the directional brickwork of 16 Church Street in Dumbarton.

I love the challenge of illustrating different building materials in architecture.

Andy Warhol textiles exhibition at Dovecot was a joy ✨

This month calendar pages are the sadly demolished Graphical House and the beacon of Sauchiehall street, the art deco style Beresford building

Thanks for all the love for the Glasgow School of Art illustration I completed on behalf of Keppie Design

I’ve had loads of enquiries about prints and they will be available to buy later in 2024.

Here it is along with its brutalist neighbour the Bourdon Building

The Glasgow School of Art. The first of 12 illustrations to celebrate 170 years of Keppie Design. Being asked to illustrate the art school by the practice who designed the art school is a huge honour. I chose the west elevation to illustrate as it is full of beautiful details

I’m absolutely delighted to be working with Keppie Design to celebrate their 170th year.

12 buildings / 12 unique illustrations

First up is the Glasgow School of Art and I’ve taken an unusual approach with this one. Keep your eyes peeled ✨

2024 is a significant year for Keppie. 170 years ago, John Honeyman returned to Glasgow from London to set up a small architectural studio. He was 23 years old. From this seed, his firm developed and grew into one of Scotland’s largest ever design practices...
