Glasgow (f)Art Scene
















Last art experiences I had was travelling to Glasgow to inspect the artistic delights that is Glasgow art scene. This included admiring the tattoo pieces that can be described as "Glaswegian doodle". It is hard to get away from seeing this body art as most fat sweaty men walk around without their tops on -in a similar manner to the nudest beaches of our neighbours in mainland Europe.

Must sees include the pre-drinks bar Glasgow Courtyard which sells the local's drink "hobos tipple" including 3 shots of Buckfast, 1 shot irn bru and 1 shot of Bells Whiskey. It was nice place until someone farted in the corner of club : the smell resonating to the beat of the bass. This made everyone move towards the courtyard area where projections were put onto the inner walls. Later walking to the west end I met some of my hipster friends ( one with a large forehead) who took me to the glue factory (22 Farnell Street). The beats were pumping without the flatulent effects.

Other places to check out Sauchiehall Street , Centre for contemporay arts and ARTeries gallery.
