Andy Scott is a Glasgow-based artist specializing in large-scale public art installations. One of his most
ambitious projects is ‘the kelpies’, a set of two horse heads based on the mythical scottish creatures
of the same name. Looking at the project you may be thinking that the two welded-steels sculptures
aren’t that big, but if you look closely, you will notice small people standing at the base of the sculpture.
The reason for these small people is because these sculptures are actually scale models.

David Lynch is one of my heroes
I enjoyed his book Catching the Big Fish
check out this Q&A in the NYTimes
Perspectives is a project by BaseMOTION. They interviewed people and edited the spoken portion of the footage out. Perspectives leaves only body language, pauses for thought, and interjections to do the communicating. It is actually quite interesting to watch because of the serious topics and how you see the interviewees think and respond.

China painting factories 07
- In March 07 I traveled to Shezhen, China to sort out production for a series of paintings. The factory painters were mostly young and all talented. Like 1980's art students they wore concert t-shirts, took frequent smoke breaks, and played alternative music very loud from a tinny CD player. All of the painters were either friends or relatives of one another. The factories themselves looked less warehouse and more apartment building. The office of the factory I visited had not only wall to wall carpeting but wall to ceiling. It was a plush environment. The Da Fen district, where all of the oil painting factories reside, is marked by a giant, (very communist) statue of a hand holding a paintbrush. Surreal doesn't quite express the region. The images shown do not depict the artwork I was working on, but rather, the artwork these factories all too often produce.
