Thought we needed a more Scottish version of David's now legendary shirt.
Specifically a Weegie* version.
So I made one!
Tumblr media
In case you're not familiar with Scots/Weegie:
Wains = children/kids
Alaine = alone
Wee = small/little
Gobshite = untranslatable insult
*For Americans and other aliens: 'weegie' is a word denoting a person from Glasgow. Shortened from Glaswegian. The Glaswegian accent and slang is renowned for its humour and warmth. The type of warmth you get from the single candle attempting valiantly to light your entire flat at 5pm on a dreich Winter's day.

Took another trip around the town while heading to meet friends last night, and decided to take advantage of the good weather to snap some photos around the town.
It always inspires me walking the streets here, and it's got my creative juices flowing once again for sure!

On April 17th 1979 Scottish boxer Jim Watt became world Lightweight boxing champion beating Alfredo Pitalua at The Kelvin Hall.
Glaswegian Watt a skilled southpaw with a good punch, Watt captured the vacant WBC title against the Colombian. Jim was a very clever boxer, the fight was stopped in the 12th round, back in the days when fights went 15.
Jim managed to compile four successful title defences including wins over such notables as Howard Davis Jr and Sean O'Grady, before losing to Alexis Arguello in the last fight of his ( Watt’s) career. As a young fighter Watt also held the EBU and Commonwealth British titles. In 1973, a 17 fight Jim Watt faced fellow countryman Ken Buchanan. Watt fared well and lasted the 15 rounds despite being vastly out experienced but at the end couldn’t beat his more seasoned counterpart.
In retirement Jim Watt has commentated on many fights worldwide, he hung up his mic after 40 years at the ringside in 2016.

"Another day around Glasgow." Some more photos from a recent trip around Glasgow, this time for research purposes. I'm quite happy with how they turned out overall, but I definitely think I need to start broadening my scope and going to other places when I can.

Glasgow has a notorious reputation for lower life expectancies, and the topic of living a very long life opens up a Pandora’s box of contemplations. Expectancies & Reality Glasgow’s a great place, with its rich history and vibrant culture, but it also has a sombre statistic: life expectancies…

Glasgolem, 2022
earlier this year i was honored to be asked to do the cover for issue #1 of Golem Zine, a series showcasing voices from lesser-known Jewish communities around the world. this first issue celebrated Jewish life & culture in Glasgow, and creating this cover involved a deep dive into the history of Glaswegian Jewish art & architecture.

As a d20 fan and a Scot I've gotten so used to Brennans subpar Scottish accent that Matt pulling out the scottishest Scot ever and perfectly executing that "AWRICHT FUCKEADS GUESS A'M COMING WITH YOUU" gave me full whiplash
