As www.ryan-hughes.co.uk is currently disabled as a piece of work titled Private Property I thought I’d finally do something with the www.ryanhughesprojects.net domain I brought a while ago and did nothing with… SO… www.ryanhughesprojects.net is live! it has a current […]
Playing with Processing, a direct and visual language designed for artists and designers. Good for moving and coloured lines, patterns and pictures. Can be used with pure data and with ardunos – after quite a bit of fiddling around. All […]
Spring Time for Hitler and Germany It is grey, so grey. It is the morning of the Artists Talking talk, I have a sore throat. It may be an artist croaking. Also as part a long tradition of public appearance […]

Ethics & Interns This event looks really interesting next week – looking at Internships and all the problems they bring along. http://ethicsandinterns.eventbrite.com/ Seems pretty pertinent given the whole slave labour/Tesco situation going on with the benefits system. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/nov/16/youn… I hate […]
Sporting League 2010 – 2011 Game 18 Tranquilayers held onto the top spot with a goal to nil win over a Haaveno side that sinking like a lead weight. Athletico looked like a shadow of the side that defeated Bayerns […]
I will soon be moving into a new studio. It is full of chairs on wheels and office paraphernalia at the moment and it looks like some of the maintenance lads in the building have been having fun with a […]
Went over to the studio today. Got some stuff done, but mainly chatted. Not really what I should be doing when I need to create the same again in installation pieces!!! Brought everything home so I’ll just work all evening […]
More on unpaid Internships – all this just from the Guardian.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2011/nov/17/hmrc-c… http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2011/nov/04/intern… Hannah Clements blog: http://careers.guardian.co.uk/careers-blog/interns… an oldie, but interesting look at how Uni’s could play a role in improving things. http://www.guardian.co.uk/higher-education-network…
I couldn’t decide whether I was looking at breakfast or an early grave this morning but the abundance of fungi is amazing. My day always starts with a dog walk and some of the flora and fauna appear in my […]
The video ‘two chats with andy’ (Andrew Dodds of RAF bomb disposal) was never quite right in the gallery situation. It comprises 2 videos, each with close-cut edits that need to sync in order to make sense, as one freezes […]
Never underestimate the impact that white goods have on one’s soundness of mind. No dishwasher or washing machine for half a week can lead to extreme agitation. This information should temper the following rant. I hate CVs. I hate having […]
First prints in to long Today I made some monotype prints Its been to long since I worked in print these drawings of feathers and leafs were to find new ways of getting me to look at an object and […]
The unstreched canvas. Unstreched canvas is easyier to move roll up and transport. Its not a finshed item of art so as in my last post its easyier to remove the stigma of making “art” and concentrate on exploring the […]
To Blog or Not to Blog As I type I am monitoring Twitter, the Art world’s two Susan Jones are about to meet. Could this be our first real chance to see the god particle? or will the world just […]
Just back from a weeks residency in Wales. Been giving some artistic advice at a retreat centre and then pottering in their studio making some ‘junk insects’ from old chairs and broken toilet seats. Nice peaceful rest and creative activity. […]
Just back from talking to an individual artist. Refreshing how honest and open our conversation was. Pointed out clearly this time, that they need to be aware of the comments they make as the audio would be posted on to […]
I reckon we are fast approaching a “tipping point” for the arts in central Scotland. Instead of us being caught in a cultural wilderness between Glasgow and Edinburgh we are beginning to establish our own identity with a vibrant art […]
I’ve had some work professionally photographed for MISC. My own efforts are just not good enough. One painting will dominate a whole page so it needs to be sharp and accurate. Fortunately the grey weather has provided even light, so […]
I’ve been struggling with being able to define what my works about in such a way that I can explain it to others without rambling. Elena commented yesterday on verbalising your own work with ‘I do think it’s good to […]
