Irvine Welsh Tapestries
Description: Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home … Choose Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and a thousand other ways to spew your bile across people you've never met. Choose updating your profile. Tell the world what you had for breakfast and hope that someone, somewhere cares. Choose looking up old flames, desperate to believe that you don't look as bad as they do. Choose live-blogging from your first wank to your last breath. Human interaction reduced to nothing more than data. Choose life.
Description: The Volcano nightclub in Glasgow, a legendary Trainspotting movie location recreated as a minimalist architectural illustration. This iconic Glasgow nightclub appeared in Danny Boyle's 1996 film Trainspotting, where Renton meets Diane. The original Volcano club stood on Benalder Street in Partick Cross before being demolished. Part of a collection celebrating memorable bars, clubs, music venues and cinematic locations, this design pays tribute to Glasgow's lost nightlife history and the distinctive visual world of 1990s British cinema. A piece for fans of Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh, Danny Boyle, Glasgow, Scottish pop culture and iconic movie locations.
