## Early life and education[edit]

Crummy was born in Craigmillar, Edinburgh, where his mother Helen Crummy was a community activist and founder of the Craigmillar Festival Society.[3][4] He attended Portobello High School and then gained a B.A. (Hons) in Illustration and Printmaking, at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art (1983) and an M.A. in Design at Glasgow School of Art (1984).[3] He attributes his artistic nature to his culturally rich childhood, and his immersion in the community arts scene and the Craigmillar Festival. His work includes tapestry, murals, illustration, sculpture and painting. [5]
