We asked Glasgow based artist Tom Scholefield (aka Konx-Om-Pax) to tell us about himself, his work and what we can expect in the future….

“I’m an artist and director based in Glasgow, I like to keep things fun and colourful as possible. I don’t like to rush.

Things got interesting for me around the time Jamie Lidell spent the night in our spare room a few years back – a pissed up conversation about cats and animation led me to spend 6 months creating the music video for “Yougotmeup” from his Multiply release on Warp.

Around this time Matt Pyke (Universal Everything) got me on board for Advanced Beauty I created a surreal wonder through a floating fantasy island with music by Freeform.

Since then I’ve occupied myself across many different platforms of the art and design world, designing sleeves for the likes of Hudson Mohawke (Warp), Rustie (Wireblock) Oneohtrix Point Never (No-Fun)… and directing videos for DFA Records in New York. Just recently directed the forthcoming debut music video for Hudson’s Joy Fantastic which will be out very soon!

I’m currently planning the launch of my new studio/label – Display Copy, first release with be “Optimo Tracks” from an a/v installation at the Sub Club last year, featuring a remix from No-Fun boss Carlos Gifonni. Just recently started concepts for artwork on a forthcoming release on Mego, all I can say is Stephen O’Malley from Sunn O))) is involved.. it will be killer.”
