It’s that #Caturday time of the week again and here’s the negative silhouette of our little Bill the rescue cat, overlaid onto a quick pastel sketch I did out and about.

The Last Hat.
The last sketch and last hat from the Imbolc gig. There seems to be a trend for hatted performers at the moment for some reason. This is a fine bit of headgear and thankfully this musician isn’t bearded or bespectacled so he was a bit easier to draw.
Just A Bandana.
I was scribbling at a gig recently and most of the performers had some sort of combination of hats, beards and spectacles, which I find quite hard to draw. But here’s a performer without any of them. But he had a bandana. First time I think I’ve drawn a bandana. But it was ok.
More Hats, Specs And Beards.
Some more little scribbles from the gig the other weekend at Imbolc. The three things I find hardest to draw in people…hats, specs and beards…all in one subject. Tough going especially as drawing live is quite difficult anyway, but really good practice.
Ribbons And Bells: 1
I did a rough yesterday in monochrome washes of a new thing I’m working on which will eventually be a lino cut based on sketches of some of the Mari Lwyd / Hen Galan celebrations I’ve been to over the past few winters. I like the overall composition but it’s very rough, so I’m startingContinue reading “Ribbons And Bells: 1”
Starting Something New…
This is the first sketch, trying out an idea for a new linocut based on the Welsh Mari Lwyd tradition. I like the format, 21cms x 42cms, and I like this composition. I’ll probably try out a few more variations and I want to sharpen up some of the design stuff, like the ribbons andContinue reading “Starting Something New…”
#Caturday Silhouette 12.
This #Caturday Saturday, here the silhouette of little rescue cat Bill on top of a silkscreen print based on sketches of pigeons in Swansea. I merged the drawings with some text I had written about the experience of drawing the pigeons, watching them from the window of Waterstone’s cafe, that used to be the oldContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 12.”
Another Head, Another Hat.
More scribbling from me, done last Saturday, which was the ancient festival of Imbolc. A friend had his birthday party at the yacht club and there were loads of musicians. This young man in the snazzy hat played drums. I think that hats are hard to draw, but at least he didn’t have a beard orContinue reading “Another Head, Another Hat.”
Musical Pirates.
It was Imbolc last Saturday and Husb and I went to a gig celebrating not just Imbolc but also a friend’s birthday. He’s in a band of musical pirates called Band Bandanaars – see what they did there? Aaarrr. I scribbled the drummer because normally drummers are at the back and I can’t get aContinue reading “Musical Pirates.”
Scribbling At Imbolc.
Husb and I went to a gig last Saturday, February 1st, which is the ancient festival of Imbolc. Of course, I had to have a scribble. This singer-songwriter presented me with my triple challenge – a beard, a hat and a pair of spectacles. But it’s good practice.
