Abstract
In this paper we will think of certain abelian categories with favorable pr operties as non-commutative surfaces. We show that under certain conditions a point on a non-commutative surface can be blown up. This yields a new no n-commutative surface which is in a certain sense birational to the origina l one. This construction is analogous to blowing up a Poisson surface at a point of the zero-divisor of the Poisson bracket. By blowing up less than or equal to 8 points in the elliptic quantum plane one obtains global non-commutative deformations of Del-Pezzo surfaces. For example blowing up six points yields a non-commutative cubic surface. Under a number of extra hypotheses we obtain a formula for the number of non-tri vial simple objects on such noncommutative surfaces.
