I came to Boise to collaborate with a group of artists to produce a body of monotypes and drawings, which we did, but I can’t resist the urge to scribble;it’s like scratching an itch. This is one I did of a grain elevator in Oregon. I’d never seen one before. It was huge. This isContinue reading “Scribbling USA”

As Marat might have said! While looking up info about Van Gogh’s portrait of his mother (Zoe Keenan’s third drawing was of this portrait) when I came across a delightful site of Photoshopped artworks. This was entitled “Blind man fooled to poke a dead dude up the nose” and…
Steamrollers, Blocks and Chili
It’s my last day in Boise, Idaho and I spent the morning with Amy Nack, the Wingtip Press Director, at a steamroller printing session at a local school then the afternoon back at the studio to knock out a final couple of block prints.

Just a quickie
We came back to Idaho from Oregon today and made a couple of sketching stops. It was boiling hot, around 29degrees C or 90F and we were on a tight schedule so only had enough time for a quickie or two. This was drawn from a rest stop in the mountains on The Oregon Trail,Continue reading “Just a quickie”
Puddle Of Lard!
Insomnia hit me hard so I got up and do an early morning sketch in my teeny weeny leather bound steampunky sketchbook.

It’s been a great experience collaborating with a group and one I hope to repeat when I’m back home. It was a joy to work with Lisa, Karl,Continue reading “Showing In Boise”

Daytripper – Part 3. From ‘Notes to the milkman’, here’s an excellent write up of the Becoming Picasso exhibition at The Courtauld in London which showcases his earliest works, and possibly his finest IMHO.
Post-Muckiness….
Just spent a happy couple of hours at the fabulous Wingtip Press in Boise, Idaho, proof printing some little Lino blocks I cut from drawings of Snake River petroglyphs. Here are the blocks inked and raring to go onto the press. It is their destiny. And here is my little set of four petroglyphs……. IContinue reading “Post-Muckiness….”
