I did about a dozen drawings on the street during the ‘Disruptions II’ event in Swansea on Saturday afternoon – this is the last one I’m going to blog but the set is going up on the Elysium Artspace website some time soon. Here’s Wanda Zyborska performing to unsuspecting citizens as a large rubber slug-like living sculpture made from recycled rubber inner tubes from agricultural machines.
It’s the start of the summer holidays and after months of torrential rain I took advantage of the sunshine and the company of a small nephew to go out sketching. I bought the nephew a new sketchbook and some charcoal pencils, ignoring his plea for a new Nintendo DS (I don’t even know what that is). We sat in some shade in the Swansea Marina and drew the sculpture of Captain Cat, a character from Dylan Thomas. The boy’s drawing is a lot better than mine. Here it is. He’s 8.

Rosie has a rival!
haha and a very cute and adorable one too 🙂
2 very different but interesting pictures. Your nephew’s shows real promise – the next Augustus John?
I hope he doesn’t behave like Augustus John though lol 🙂 I have a wheelie bib drawing to post for you – I’ll put it onto twitter when I work out how to do Twitpics
That is a very good drawing, for an eight year old. I doubt I could draw that well at his age – or now come to think of it.
What a very artistic family you are 🙂
Thanks – must be the genes. He loves drawing – he’s happy to sit and sketch for hours and he likes going to art galleries. Born not made I suspect.
Looks like you were very disruptive too. 🙂
oh I was 😉
