I’m always surprised at what people throw away. I often pull discarded prints out of the waste paper bin at the workshop, they’re done on beautiful paper with top quality inks and can be reused for drawings and collage but still people chuck them. Other people’s waste is my raw material and I use these thrown away prints for my own drawings. I like starting to draw over something unfamiliar. I took this down to the beach last night and drew with compressed charcoal, used neat and also rubbed in with my fingers. I might eventually cut it down to a small border or even no border at all. I was standing outside the Civic Centre, looking across Swansea Bay at Mumbles.
I’m currently working on a series of expressive drawings of ancestral sites and if you want to see some of my other artworks, please click here.

This is real and beautiful upcycling. Have a lovely day. Still sunny here, but rain from south is on the way.
Thank you 😊. I think you might be getting our rain, sorry, but there’s some better weather behind it
