The four main groups of statues on what is now the rear facade of the Mitchell Library in Glasgow. Originally part of the St Andrews Halls, they were created in the 1870s by John Mossman. They represent a variety of figures associated the arts, ranging from the Greek God Apollo to William Shakespeare. Without Mossman, and the other sculptors he both taught and inspired, Glasgow's buildings would look rather naked, and much less eye-catching.
A year ago, we took a 5-hour photography walking tour in #Edinburgh. Got some pointers for phone #photography and took some of my favorite shots, including this one of the #ScottMonument. 1 May 2024.

Working on a little experiment, trying to convert a Batman artwork by the skilled Max Grecke to 3D as faithfully as possible.
Instead of focusing on modeling, as I usually do, I'm putting the emphasis on transferring the texture, which takes a lot of work in Blender Texture Paint.
Updates will follow in this 🧵…

Lovely run up to Loch Earn and on to Killin.
The mirror man is back on the shores of the loch, he was removed for a few years - not sure why..
Sadly it was a grey day else he would have shone and looked even more alien like.

'The Tree That Never Grew' on Hunter Street in the East End of Glasgow. This sculpture was created in 2010 by Jennifer Grant based on the words of poem telling the story of Glasgow written by Ingrid Lees in 2004.

An #introduction 👋 I'm Metin from the Netherlands. Starting as a 16-bit game developer (#Amiga, CD32, MS-DOS, …), I shifted to TV animation, news cartoons, magazine illustration and toy design.
My freelance glory days are over, but I still love to create, and share my work here and on @Seven

I made a dragon pot for @zmeyche
The body and the lid are wheel thrown. All the other details are sculpted by hand. I fired the dragon in my wood kiln at 1250°C.

This beautiful little cat on the ledge at the bottom of this image is one of a pair created by Hugh Pritchard in 1988 to decorate a modern tenement on Woodlands Road in Glasgow. I really wish more developers would include such whimsical details in their projects.

This is the Ruthven Lane Cat in the west end of Glasgow. It's high on a wall on the back of an old tenement building, and it really doesn't look like it belongs there. It's a bit of a mystery as to who put it there, and why.

By returning the stolen statue to Nepal but not disclosing that it was a gift from a major donor, the museum is “getting rid of a problematic object” while simultaneously “face-saving” its relationship with all donors, an art historian says.

Want to know why there's a sculpture of a bus in the middle of Parramatta Square?
In 1981, the Parramatta Eels won the grand final in the predecessor to the National Rugby League.
Many fans gathered at the team's home ground, Cumberland Oval (which was on the site of CommBank Stadium) and the celebrations got a bit rowdy.
And by "got a bit rowdy", I mean they burnt the stadium down to the ground.
Without a stadium, the following season the team held its meetings in a secondhand 1960s Leyland Worldmaster bus.
But that's not the only piece of local history commemorated by this sculpture by Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro, titled "Place of the Eels".
One side of the bus is inscribed with the words "Flying Pieman". It's a reference to a local baker named William Francis King, who used to sell pies to people boarding the ferry to Parra at Sydney's Circular Quay in the 1870s.
After the ferry left, Mr King reputedly packed up his pie cart, then ran the 30-odd kilometres to Parramatta by foot. He would then set up his cart at Parramatta Wharf in time to sell more pies to passengers as they disembarked the ferry.
The other side of the bus is inscribed with the name "Rosie Bint Broheen". In 1922, Rosie became the first Lebanese woman to buy land in Parramatta.
The sculpture also includes some hidden messages, in reference to the Parramatta Industrial School for Girls, which was a notorious children's welfare institution that operated from 1887-1974. It was home to many members of the Stolen Generations.
