Here is a brief run down on some of our contributors.... there are many more who will all be shouted out later on... Come on down, the snow's melting and we got some hot booze for ya's!
Lindsay Brown Recent Graduate of ECA's illustration masters. Lindsay's Background is in textiles and she explores both traditional drawing and textile printmaker's techniques in her works. Lindsay's Endangered Species print takes the backdrop of the popout display and is based on themes of reproduction, presence, absences, loss and untimely death.
Tommy Perman Graduated from Gray's School of Art Painting department, but has always had an affinity with the balance between drawing and the options presented by technology. The range of prints on show highlight the versitility of Tommy's practice and his interest in cataloguing and documenting the scottish landscape, his local urban landscape and the cultural landscape. The compositions are heavily edited for compositional balance and to focus attention on the details. Tommy's work can be read as a doccument of the impact each generation has on the landscape: something historic, something contemporary, something permenent and something temporary.

The Lindstrom Effect Qualified at Stephenson's Colledge, Ian Bruce and Vala Jonsdotter work together under the title The Lindstrom Effect and together they glide between digital and analogue production techniques to create a varied portpholio of works heavily influenced by film. Vala's Argyrotypes are one off prints, made using traditional techniques they carry the essence of the 18th Centuary explorer with then. Ian's hand drawn portraits are converted to digital drawings and printed but retain a classic dimension within their composition. The Lindstrom Effect is to be intrigued by the world around you.
