Hello, Scotland! It has been a whirlwind five days since landing at the airport in Edinburgh, chalk full of massive jet lag, slightly manic-styled over-tiredness, errands, errands, and oh! more errands! And a wee bit of playing tourist. It’s easy to get wrapped up in getting our things together, especially for international students having to […]
I’m English born and raised, from the county of Kent – often referred to as that bit under London. I left home to come to Dundee for my studies in Art at DJCAD, after completing my A-levels. London was on my doorstep, with theatre and gallery exhibitions a stone’s throw away. But in London you can’t […]

Yesterday, I found myself at the McManus Gallery in the Centre of Dundee. I had heard of the new exhibition ‘Charting New Waters‘ and it seemed fascinating, so I figured I’d head over to take a look. The exhibition has a collection of model ships, paintings and even a pair of shoes. It celebrates Dundee’s […]
On Saturday all hands were on deck as I was working at the Dundee Comics Expo; the mini convention taking place across from Dee Con 2014. It was fun to arrive early on in the day and see the Cosplayers roll up en-mass to queue for entry to Dee Con. There were some really fun […]
