Big faces of Glasgow, Public Art Project

People, generally speaking that is, love street art. We're talking about legally applied works of art. We've heard nothing but positive comments, and even the one or two who aren't fussed have certainly voiced their appreciation of having something more than a blank wall to look at. We thought it would be interesting to include people from the start, instead of just hearing what they think afterwards, to get public opinion or better yet involve them. We wanted to do something different that hadn't been done before and use digital media to determine the fate of street art.

Portrait and figurative artist Keith Maiden's interview

Keith’s art is as bold and refreshing as some of his opinions, and dripping with sentiment. It’s also just very very cool. He’s gathering momentum as a painter and gaining a loyal following on his path to becoming what he defines as an artist. Here’s what he had to say to us.

Art Pistol's Christmas Gallery

We’re stuffing our Christmas Gallery with all sorts of original art and prints. Spend a little or spend a lot, it’s up to you, but there will be something for all budgets. Painting, prints, photography, illustration and more by superbly talented artists from across the land.

We'll be in the heart of Glasgow's bustling West End on the beautiful Cresswell Lane for 3 weeks, open from 10am to 6pm. We promise it'll be worth a look!

Want a little insight to the underground world of a street and graffiti artist… then read on! We’ve just completed a (what we think is!) fantastic big piece of new street art in Glasgow (pictured below) and wanted to celebrate the skills of the man responsible for bringing our concept to life and painting it, Rogue-One, with a short interview.

A view from the Clyde, Street Art in Glasgow

Perhaps you’re one the many passing motorists who’ve already horned your approval – and if not it’s down on the riverside behind the St Enoch centre if you’re out hunting for it.

The initial Art Pistol concept was “A view from the Clyde”, which we then developed with the very talented artist responsible for bringing it to life, Rogue-One, a Glasgow based street artist.

Interview with emerging artist and fine art student Kyle Noble

The origins of man, Megalithic monuments, ancient civilisations, shamanism, psychedelia, cultural truth, scepticism and spiritualism are all tributaries into Kyle’s work. That’s some eclectic inspiration for an emerging artist and just one of the reasons why we can’t wait to see more. His latest work looks great and has stories to tell – take your pick! Here’s what Kyle had to say to us:

Badly drawn pictures for some new words!

Wouldn’t it be cool if dictionaries kindly provided a visual representation for their words! A Pictionary perhaps. Not to be confused with the game.  

Well, after studying the list of ‘new words’ to be included in the latest version of the Collins Online Dictionary, I felt inspired to pick out a few favourites and crudely try to create their subsequent pictorials for said potential book. Direct interpretation from their given meanings cannot be guaranteed.
