Husb and I have just come back from a quick visit to Dieppe, delightful place. We went by ferry and it was so much more relaxing and much less hassle than flying. I did a few scribbles in my sketchbook but on the way back on the ferry, I sketched this other traveller using theContinue reading “Magic Marker Man”

Visit To The Ancestors
On the road again visiting Stonehenge. We have had a look at it from the road a couple of times but did a proper visit today. It was packed with tourists and boiling hot but I could still feel a sense of awe. It’s difficult drawing something so iconic because it’s been done before soContinue reading “Visit To The Ancestors”
Saving The Palace
Just got back from a public meeting at The Cove to save Swansea’s historic Palace Theatre. I’ve blogged about this before because it’s a beautiful building sadly fallen into a terrible state of repair. Distinctively wedge-shape, like the Gridiron Building in New York City, it was built in the 1880’s and Charlie Chaplin performed thereContinue reading “Saving The Palace”
The Tomb Of Victor Noir
As Husb and I were wandering around Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris last week, we passed by this very unusual and beautiful grave, a bronze slab supporting the realistic, corpse-like bronze statue of the young journalist Victor Noir, murdered by a cousin of Napoleon III, whose death contributed to the overthrow of the Emperor’s regime.Continue reading “The Tomb Of Victor Noir”
Up @ The Cove IV
I’ve blogged this large drawing once before, when I first did it, but I’m blogging it again because it’s being exhibited in a group show of drawings, ‘Up @ The Cove 4’, curated by Tim Kelly. Here’s a link to The Cove’s Facebook page if you want to see more of the exhibitions there. It’sContinue reading “Up @ The Cove IV”
A Tough Call
There was a demonstration in the city centre earlier today, to protest at the possibility of military intervention in Syria. I went along to do a bit of scribbling. It was very good natured with the demonstrators rubbing along next to some youth drama groups performing a medley of showtunes, and lots of people justContinue reading “A Tough Call”
On the way to the woods…
Lovely arty musical blog from Kara Seaman
Disclosure and Barring Service
Hilarious spoof blog about public life in Wales, featuring the Princes Will-One-Is and H Are I and the endangered Golden Badger of Wrexham. So funny……. Disclosure and Barring Service.
Oscar’s Pink Kisses
While we were at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris last week, Husb and I visited Oscar Wilde’s grave. It’s very different from the typical ‘little houses’ marking other graves. It was made by Jacob Epstein, inspired by Assyrian carvings, and it’s nudity attracted a lot of controvery, culminating in the testicles being smashed offContinue reading “Oscar’s Pink Kisses”
A Creep Of Tortoises
Here’s a small edition of 6 drypoint intaglio prints I did today, based on a sketch I did recently of Jimmy the tortoise. Apparently the collective noun for tortoises is a ‘creep’. I think it refers to their way of walking; not a slur on their character 🙂 I used a paper drypoint plate, printedContinue reading “A Creep Of Tortoises”
