I love this trend in Glasgow to having murals featuring the names of local areas. This one in Mount Florida seems to be new since the last time I visited, but there are also examples I've come across in Dennistoun, Battlefield and Govanhill.
Does anyone know the story behind these tiles about Alice? I run into different ones from time to time on walls around the Southside of Glasgow, mostly in the vicinity of Queen's Park.
They're the work of an artist called Oktavia Schreiner, and aim to blend stories of a fictional character (Alice) with real locations. There are at least two more tiles I haven't found yet.
The annual Yardworks Festival was on this weekend at SWG3, with its usual display of wonderful street art. This one, by I Am Sprite, was one of my favourites.
Bottlecelli. Created by a team consisting of Smug, Yardworks and Lidl to encourage more recycling, it contains more than 30,000 bottlecaps. It's based on Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus and can be found just outside SWG3 on Eastvale Place in Glasgow.
I love this new mural on Catherdral Street in Glasgow. It's part of the Gable End project from Articulate Hub as part of their Artivism work. The Articulate Cultural Trust uses creativity to help care experienced and other marginalised young people get to wherever they want to go.
Building a snowman (or rather a snowpenguin!), carol-singing, decorating their Xmas tree, having snow ball fights with the punks next door, and of course visiting Santa: The Glasgow Penguins are certainly full of the Christmas spirit at the moment!
I finally managed to track down the last couple of street art mosaics in Wilma van der Meyden's Glasgow Street Swallow series. This beautiful one on James Watt Street is made from the type of unglazed porcelain tiles often uses to make threshold mosaics on older Glasgow buildings.
The distinctive murals by Molly Hankinson, Michael Corr and Rogue One on the whisky tanks of the Strathclyde Distillery in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. Established by Seager Evans in 1927, this distillery can produce forty million litres of grain whisky per year.
I came across this unusual piece of street art in Pollokshields in Glasgow today, which I believe is from the artist Louise McVey. I do love stumbling across things like this while exploring the city.
Ceramic heart street art on a wall in the west end of Glasgow. This is part of a serires created by Louise McVey. I really love it whenever I come across any of Louise's work as they always brighten my day.
