Ye Tube!

The Garbologists have their own YouTube channel! It features short films made about the jobs being done from Friarton Depot and other wee films relating to the project. Don't expect to find any hilarious 10-minute long home videos of cats in silly jumpers looking at their owners through magnifying glasses here though, this is pure recycling and art on film! Pity the Oscars were last night, reckon the 3 second Cherry-Picker film would have swept up Best Picture nae bother!

Make Your Own Waterproof Business Card Holder!

Piece together a bit of old fencing from the wood skip, a 'found' hinge cast amongst the swine in the metal dump, a spare bit of waterproof roofing felt from HQ build and an empty screw box and you'll get a slightly waterproof, not very secure yet 100% recycled outdoor business card holder! Most people keep theirs in their wallets I reckon, or an 80's style Rolodex. We can only aspire to such things. Eyes peeled for the holder in situ down Friarton Depot!

Is it Narnia?

Far from it, its Garbologist HQ this very morning. No camp dancing fawns to be had here, just wet screws, smashed bits of broken wood, and freezing, damp gloves. The sides a bit of a state just now as we await the return of the 14th century Raleigh Racer with 4-decades out of production tyres on it before the bike shelter gets a wee tidy.

V&A Design:Dundee Peh

Opposite are pages from the Garbologists proposal to design the V&A Museum in Dundee. The Dundee Peh will float on the Silvery Tay on a foil peh dish and visitors will enter through a bite in the Peh!

Aye, Right!

We'd hazard a guess here at Garbologist Headquarters that an auxiliary road between Errol and St Madoes isn't exactly a "SAFE PLACE"! Pity the empty handed would-be recipient of this parcel. Lets just hope it wasn't anything serious, like the new edition of Garbologist Newsletter. Or the Viz.

Peacock 'mongst the ruins!

Check out this grand looking fowl parking its royal blue derriere calmly between four traffic cones! Reckon it must have escaped from Scone Palace gardens and fancied a swift half in the afternoon.

Cheers to Ange for the picture, check out her blog on Youth, Care & Inclusion, it's a belter!

Arty Bins!

Swing by Generator Projects artist-run gallery in Dundee in the next month and see these 24o litre wheelie bins dominating the smaller gallery space. They were used as part of a performance by Edinburgh based artist Derek Sutherland, and form part of a riot scene. The exhibition is called DROMOS, and features a cracking monologue performance beginning underneath a Nissan Bluebird car by Welsh artists Bedwyr Williams.
