Explore your city! Dundee’s Hidden Treasures

Dundee has some really fantastic public art. You don’t have to walk far to stumble upon the Dundee Penguins, Lemmings, mosaics and cheeky monkeys! ❤️ I love the more hidden pieces too like the squirrel that was deliberately placed at child height! The Dundee Penguins just love to dress up! 😂 m so proud to…

Catching Oor Dreams on Oor Wullie’s Bucket Trail

Thought you might like to read it and see all our photos… A picture speaks a thousand words… and tells of a thousand dreams. Suzanne Scott of WhimSicAL LusH is a Dundee artist and illustrator on a…

Say whaaat? Oh yes - today I’m working my wee socks off on my new calendar for 2020! I’d love your help too if you would.... . . I’m thinking that ‘Rainbow City’ makes the perfect cover - what do you think? . . I just can’t decide on the inside though! I’m hand drawing everything this year so can be as colourful or as plain as I like - so much fun but too much choice! He he! What would you like best? . . ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 All the colours of the rainbow? 🌈 . . 🖤🖤Black and White? 🖤🖤 . . 💚A different colour for each month? 💛 . . 🧡The same colour for every month? 💜 . . 💖 What colours would you choose? ❤️ . . Too many questions???? Ha ha! I know right, tell me about it! Decisions decisions! 😂 . . ☀️Oh and one last thing: I’ve started a list of people who would like a 2020 calendar (including those who missed out on grabbing a copy of this year’s calendar 😢) Shout out below if you’d like one and I’ll pop your name down for the first post! 😘 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #calendar #design #colour #rainbow #cute #2020calendar #drawing #doodling #planner #planningahead #organising #dundee #scotland #scottishartist #colourmyeveryday #colourlovers #colourseekers #adventuresincolour

Simple Sunday morning greens. Tree houseleeks are so much fun to draw and I never wanted to stop with the funky fronds of the fishbone cactus! My new mission in life is to find me one of those bad boys. Love those shapes! @houseplantslove - hook a gal up? 💚🌿🌵 . . More new wee things that will soon be part of bigger things - all will become clear soon! Can’t wait to see it all come together and show you! . . #whimsicallush #newstuff #wip #cacti #succulents #cactuslove #fishbonecactus #epiphyllumanguliger #treehouseleek #aeoniumarboreum #houseplants #doodles drawing #Dundee #Scotland #plantpot #pattern #surfacepattern #texture #sundayvibes #sunday #green #teal #marrsgreen

Doodling birds... thinking about making them into a new range of enamel pins. Would you wear one? What’s your favourite bird? 🐦 🍃 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #birds #enamelpin #doodling #drawing #ideas #colourpop #dundee

Running off to the circus for a little project that I can’t reveal just yet... but which tent would you choose? 🎪 . . A colourful leaf green and Marrs Green combo with red or Night Circus inspired black and white with touches of red? . . I can’t decide! Help! Or - would you go for different colours entirely? If so what combo would you paint your perfect circus tent? . . The circus also happens to be #portfolioclub’s July prompt by @louve.draws Check out the # tomorrow for the August prompt from @juliachristiansde and @kathryndurst 💚🌿 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #circus #nightcircus #colour #stripes #sketching #ideas #inspiration #doodles #circustent #tent #drawing #kidlitart #illo #dundee #illustratorsoninstagram

Just realised that I forgot to show the cute frame I found for my ‘Floral Wanderings’ mandala that I created for our group exhibition with @the_inverarity_gallery . . 🖤 It’s still available - check out the gallery for more info and some of the other amazing artists taking part too, including: @ingevandormael @malojo_art @jessicaperner @ciou_in_hell @black_eyed_blonde @purplejain @anitainverarity 🖤 . . #whimsicallush #illustration #penandink #mandala #pattern #doodle #meditation #relaxation #drawing #dundee #inveraritygallery #banff #exhibition #illustratorsoninstagram #illo #ooak #beautifulmandalas

Going to a music festival with two lil @owbigbuckettrail #wanderingwullies - so much fun! @rewindfestival you were brilliant! 😍 . . My cheeky wee #SeeYouJeemie had a ball wandering about the crowds with us all weekend, we even got to meet some of the artists backstage too. Was absolutely not expecting to be invited up onto main stage on Saturday though by The Doctor (Dr & The Medics) to shout out @owbigbuckettrail! Oor Wullie was much braver than me. Should have let him do all the talking - Never seen so many people all looking at me before! Don’t even know what words came out! 😅😳 . . Meanwhile @creature_emporium’s wee superstar was chillin’ backstage with all the artists all weekend! He has been signed by some of the biggest 80s legends - including LuLu, Foreigner, Brian Ferry, Paul Young, The Stranglers, Midge Ure, Belinda Carlisle, Toya Wilcox, Lisa Stansfield and the very funny Leo Sayer! 🤩 I reckon his new best friend is now the brilliant @phillipjupitus5276 🥰 All the love! . . Not sure @joannemacfadyen, Emma, @louisecforbes and I were expecting quite so many people to be so excited to see oor boys! Was amazing (and occasionally terrifying having people full speed running at us for photos! 🤣). All the @rewindfestival love for Oor Wullie’s BIG Bucket Trail! Now I think we all need a chill wee Monday. . . Thanks to #DCThomson (@thecourier.uk @sunday.post) for getting oor boys on the guest list and to the @rewindfestival team for being so fab too! . . These cute wandering Wullie’s are part of the @thearchiefoundation gang of ten little trouble makers who will be out and about in ARCHIE territory for the rest of the trail. They’re not part of the app or map as they don’t stay still for long. When they are chillin though you will probably be able to find them at the ARCHIE Foundation @owbigbuckettrail shops in #Dundee, #Aberdeen & #Inverness. In September they will be up for auction with all their big brothers. These two will be in the Dundee auction raising money for ARCHIE Foundation Tayside. . . #owbbt #foreverychild #whimsicallush #creatureemporium #archiefoundation #rewindfestival #publicart #illustration #summerfestival #fundraising

You must go and see MIRACOCO #luminarium in Dundee City Square today and tomorrow as part of #dundeesummerstreetsfestival 💚 It’s stunning and so completely immersive - you really do enter into another world when you step through the airlock! . . A handmade sculpture created by the clever people at @architects_of_air. Completely lit from the light outside - so brilliant! . . Perfect venue for a great night of ideas, banter and exploring at the @designdundee designer network meet up. . . Photos of me by @lyallbruce and boomerang by @big_red_flower 💚 . . #architectsofair #dundee #sculpture #immersiveart #geometry #geometricart #light #luminosity #design #islamicarchitecture #bazaar #ambience #DavidBickley

‘See You Jeemie’ ended up on the front page of today’s @thecourier.uk after we launched our @owbigbuckettrail #WanderingWullies yesterday! This is just 6 of the clan of 10 that will be wandering @thearchiefoundation territory in #Dundee #Aberdeen and #Inverness until the auctions in September! . . Zoom in to read the article and keep an eye on the artist’s and the @thearchiefoundation’s social media to see what adventures oor wee dudes get up to over the rest of the summer! ☺️ . . They will be in DC Thomson reception in Dundee until Wednesday night. When they are not adventuring they will be based at the respective city’s ARCHIE Foundation Big bucket trail shops. . .

Here he is! ‘See You Jeemie’ says howdy! 🐭 He is part of a wee troop of oor wee #WanderingWullies, which I’ll tell you more about in a bit. . . Oor Wullie heard that he could dress up as anything he wanted for his BIG Bucket Trail and immediately decided to dress up as Jeemie - his wee pet moose! . . Wullie’s Maw made him very special furry dungarees and he dug a mousey grey shirt out of the wardrobe to match. He painted some rope for a tail that he pinned onto his dungarees and drew a nose and whiskers onto his face with felt tip pens (not sure your maw will approve of that Wullie!) . . Primrose decorated his bucket for him too - so sweet! . . His favourite bit of the costume are the huge mouse ears that he made out of old saucers. He’s very proud of them. Well if you’re gonna dress up as your pet moose - go big or go home! Nice one Wullie! . . You can find him at D.C. Thomson HQ until tomorrow before he heads to the Oor Wullie Big Bucket Trail shop in the #wellgatecentre until Friday. This Saturday and Sunday he won’t be there... he’ll be off on his first big adventure with me. I’ll tell you more about that soon too! . . @owbigbuckettrail @thearchiefoundation @wildinart #dcthomson . . #owbbt #seeyoujeemie #whimsicallush #jeemie #mouse #illustration #dundee #archiefoundation #oorwulliesbigbuckettrail #oorwulliebuckettrail #oorwullie #wildinart #publicart #arttrail

Did you spot my @owbigbuckettrail boy ‘Wullie’s Technicolour Dream Dungarees’ on the front page of The Press and Journal today? 😍 . .
