2 x Rude Kids by British artist Dotmasters @dotmasters at 1-10 Jopps Lane, and Esslemont and Macintosh building on Union Street The Illicit Still, 22 Netherkirkgate, Aberdeen, Scotland in 2019 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"For Nuart Aberdeen 2019, he returned under his Dotmasters guise to create street-based illusions that will fool your mind with his sideways look at populist media and a typical English sense of humour. The 'Rude Kids' stencils have appeared on the iconic E&Ms building bring fun, games and mischief.
⠀⠀⠀
More of Dotmasters work can be viewed on Jopps Lane, Aberdeen (What3Words Location) where the 'Rude Kids' get up to more mischief appearing next to defaced portraits of Elizabeth Taylor and Mona Lisa. This mural on Jopps Lane was Dotmaster's biggest walls to date in 2019."

⠀⠀
"After the murals I painted of Alice and Hugo there two years ago were demolished, the team kindly invited me back and I thought it was only right to bring back Ally and Hugo, with their new addition, Ruby-Rae!
This painting is a tribute to them, their endless kindness, a homage to gentle power and taking up space with softness and femininity.
Also it’s #nationalbreastfeedingweek All power to mumma milks #freethenipple !
Massive thanks to @b_for_botanical and @hugo.fer.artwork for their trust and openness ♥️" @abcdefghelen August 7, 2021⠀

Hold Fast Hope by British artist duo Laura Perrett and Nik Ellis aka SNIK @snikarts at 15 Ship Row, Aberdeen, Scotland in April 2018 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Titled ‘hold fast hope’ the piece is reminder that the small things in life can have a big effect on you 🙏🏻" @snikarts April 15, 2018

"We drilled loads of details on this one, from colouring all the birds, to the snapped rope at the bottom of her leg, to the little bird sat on the ledge to the left. A super tricky piece to do with stencils, and the Scottish weather, but a result we are happy with." @snikarts April 23, 2018

"They create large scale stencil pieces, often depicting females caught in a moment of extreme movement. The piece in Aberdeen is called 'Hold Fast Hope' and features a girl being dragged into the air by small birds using a piece of rope. To hold fast is to keep strong or to hold on during stormy times. A sailing term, its a nice reference to the harbour location of their mural. Although they use stencils to lay out their pieces they also free hand and add into each piece which gives their work its unique look." aberdeeninspired.com/murals/snik-2018
