Alex Weir (aka Smex) is a Glasgow-based artist and illustrator from Ayr, known for his "Drawing a Day Project" since 2018. His work, spanning painting, printmaking, and bookmaking, explores the humor and joy in everyday life, particularly through food. His first serious cookbook, "It’ll be Ready When It’s Ready", features 75 recipes and 55 drawings, celebrating the process of home cooking. Funded by Creative Scotland and riso-printed at Narture Studios, the book embodies his commitment to sustainability and waste reduction. 

The exhibition expands on these themes, with works exploring food culture and the home dining experience. Every element prioritizes sustainability—using recycled materials, eco-friendly printing, and upcycled canvases. Even the cookbook production minimized waste, with offcuts repurposed for packaging. Join us in celebrating Smex’s playful and resourceful approach to art, food, and creativity!
