Born down in a dead man's town.

We have just completed a set of workshops with a group of seven kids in Alness Academy. Despite being warned that it might be one of our toughest groups to work with, we had a great time and the group worked really hard.

However, it turns out that David (one of the smaller members of our group) was a diehard Springsteen fan and insisted on playing ‘Born In The USA’ on repeat for the three painting sessions. So on a very modest estimate we must have listened to that song over 30 times in six hours - resulting in us permanently deleting it from iTunes!

Stop the music and go home, I repeat, stop the music and go home.

The One Day Revolution is over – and I think it would be fair to say it was a success.
The banner worked beautifully and the stencil seemed even bigger than imagined. We had a really good response from the public, even if most of them were a little confused!

We will post more details when we have our professional photos through, but for now here are a few snapshots (thanks Kathleen!)

The revolution will not be televised.

Well it’s true - there's going to be a revolution. Voices are going to be heard. The day of change is coming to Inverness. But don't worry, it’s only going to last for a day!

Without going into too much detail, lets just say that DUFI has organised a revolution for Inverness - it's called The One Day Revolution - and on 09.09.06 Inverness city centre will be coloured red. We will post more details later, but here are a few graphics to whet your appetite. It's time to make a change. It’s time to let your voice be heard. It’s time to shout. And don’t worry if you don’t know what to shout about, we have pickets/poster and badges all ready for you. Come on it’s time to join the revolution.

So sing a lonely song

DUFI were asked to paint two walls in a new music room in Brora. We were asked to work with three lads from the community, and before we even met them they came up with a concept for the painting - The Doors to the Decks.

Here are a few images - enjoy!

Breaking bottles in the hall...

Well a couple of years ago, something happened. People started to hear about DUFI. People started asking us to paint their walls!
Here are some photos of our first public work, we ran a bunch of workshops and let the kids design their own stencils and helped them paint it. We reckon they did a pretty good job...

In the beginning...

Well DUFI all began back one cold winter’s night in 2001. After a day of creative work, for other people’s profit, Fin and AL were sitting having a drink and talking about how they both felt the need for some creativity for creativity’s sake. The next evening - some spray cans, cardboard boxes and Stanley blades later - the wall in Fin’s spare room was the proud receiver of the first DUFI! Unfortunately all that now remains of those first steps is this small Polaroid and a few sketches.
