Here’s another Central Station flavoured update which will be of particular interest to those of you who reside in or around the Tayside area. (Good old Dundee—miss the place!) There are loads of events planned for the Central Station Dundee Pop-up Tour on Saturday 6 February, make your choice of events ranging from talks (Johanna Basford is a notable name amongst some other great speakers), tours, film screenings, and exhibition viewings. Sound good? Then check the Central Station events page for full listings.

In the mean time, if you are in the City of Discovery at this moment in time, keep your eyes peeled for the event posters which should be starting to appear any minute now. Designed by Dundee-based illustrator / graphic artist Superfly and featuring the work of five Dundee-based artists who will feature at the event. Feel free to take some snaps if you spot them and upload your pics to the Central Station Dundee Pop-up Group to share with the community.

Lovely paintings by Chrissy Angliker. We all love letting the ink drip, looks like she mastered it.

Barcelona based graffiti writer ARYZ is in the spotlight with his great style of characters. Some of them are huge! Check Aryz out on his brand new web page.

Central Station is an online community for exploring art, film and design. The project originated in Glasgow and is already attracting members from all over the globe who are keen to make contact with other artists and creatives. The community aims to promote awareness, discussion and cross-discipline collaboration.

In their own words:

‘Our target users are creative people who are looking for a place where they can talk to their peers, share work and resources, access information and profile themselves.

Central Station aims to broaden, deepen and widen engagement with contemporary art, film and design. The project encourages creative people to use online technology and share their work with each other and new audiences.’

The official launch takes place in the middle of this month — November 14 & 15, with the promise of several events to mark the occasion. Have a look around the site and feel free to get in on the act yourselves.

Eric Haze is a living legend.

“With a previous site that had been no less than 10 years old now, and only updated once over 5 years ago -
my mission was to go back to the beginning through all my archives and files, digital and otherwise,
and blueprint a complete cross section and overview of my full body of work to date,
one that hopefully also presented an accurate balance between all the mediums and materials I have navigated over the last three decades -
from the trains and walls of my old neighborhoods, through the golden years of hip hop, the downtown art scene, streetwear and branding,
including all kinds of media and projects I have worked on prior to the world of internet exposure,
all the way up through the new millennium and here and now of both the brand I have created,
and who I remain personally as an independent artist and designer.”

Was looking for some talented story-boarders and illustrators when I came across Tuomas Korpi. His work is so lovely. Loads of concept art & matte paintings – if only he wasn’t so far away!

“I consider my firework drawings invented dimensional spaces in which the forces of chaos and control combat. The visible traces of the fireworks’ detonations, transform the explosion spectacle into fixed mini universes of streaks, shooting sprays of vibrant pigments and shimmering fields of color.”
