What a weekend it has been! With uni closed until Wednesday, it was my duty as a student to spend my time wisely at the pub.
There was a wonderful drink-o-rama clubbing extravaganza on Saturday, a slow recovery / UFC night at Matt and Iains place on Sunday and then Monday....

we went to a free music festival down the quayside. We went to see the Proclaimers (pictured above), at first in a jokey kind of way, but they turned out to be really good. Their harmonies were spot on!
After having a lot of vodka, we made our way to the Cluny (our usual hangout), but managed to find a shopping trolley on the way. So when we turned up at the pub, Matt was squeezed in to the trolley with me and Omran pushing him. Poor Brian was working on the door! I don't think we would've been let in to any other pub.
There's some video footage of it which may wind up on the internet at some point.....
So, back to work today! Dissertation deadline is looming and I need to finish up my practical work pretty sharpish too. I'm still having a lot of issues with the text, it's very hard to get it to work on painted backgrounds.
Also, I just heard some sad news, Alex Toth died last week! He was a hero of mine, his work has influenced so many artists. His sense of design, composition and amazing line work....and of course Space ghost! What an incredible character design!
I'm looking forward to seeing 'Lollipop Town', Sheriffs new short film for a competition, from the description on his blog it sounds like a modern day classic.
