Yesterday I was a recorder in the ‘Disruption’ happening which was happening in Swansea City Centre. I was one of the artists recording the performances through the medium of drawing. There were some really freaky things going on, which certainly disrupted the city centre. Two blood-stained body bags were carried up the street toContinue reading “Freaky Slug People”

Weirdness Across The City
The city centre embraced post apocalyptic weirdness this afternoon with the Disruption II art event drawing crowds of disbelieving onlookers out and about in the uncharacteristic sunshine. Some artists were performers, some recorders. I was recording through drawing, wandering along the street in a rubber army gas mask and tarpaulin [in the blazing sunshine] clutchingContinue reading “Weirdness Across The City”
New sketchbook, new sketching
My pal gave me a brand new sketchbook for a present the other day. It’s very tiny and has very rough hand-made paper which isn’t suitable for the usual fineline pens I use so I had to thnk how to use it. i decided to spend 10 minutes each day sitting in the window onContinue reading “New sketchbook, new sketching”
New Male Nude [parental guidance]
This continues my small-scale life drawings using Renaissance techniques and materials. Our model sat up high on top of a plans chest and I scrunched my chair quite close, underneath. This gave me a fairly extreme perspective and foreshortening. I deliberately look out for awkward poses because – I’m a masochist? 🙂 I used someContinue reading “New Male Nude [parental guidance]”
Riot Police the untold story
Originally posted on Not So Great Dictator Speaks With Words:
I started making the Lego Riot Police films a few years ago. I’ve only made five because; well to be honest it’s because I’m lazy and I should pull my finger out. Nevertheless a certain theme has emerged which was not apparent in the first…
Tidy Scran
Was a bit busy this morning doing some last minute stuff for this evening’s exhibition [below] so Husb and I went to the Continental Caff for our lunch. It’s what we round here call ‘tidy scran’ which means good, filling, unpretentious home cooking. It’s always full of people having a cooked dinner – traditional BritishContinue reading “Tidy Scran”
Men, Boy, Lego
That’s about it really. Two grown men in a room with a small boy and the biggest binful of Lego I’ve ever seen in my life and they’re soon crawling around making a tower of Babel-ish proportions. Then the little sister knocked it all back down again 🙂
Pies And Leftovers
So we’ve taken down our exhibition in Bath and arrived home, very tired but not much time to rest because next thing is hanging the ‘Leftovers II’ miniature print exhibition that’s come over from the USA, from Wingtip Press in Boise, Idaho. The show opens Tuesday evening at Swansea Print Workshop (7pm if you’re inContinue reading “Pies And Leftovers”
Rain, Reflections And RSI
I was ‘babysitting’ our ‘Commensalis‘ exhibition in Bath on Thursday, sitting opposite one of the old chapel windows and looking at my reflection against the torrential rain outside. During the quieter moments I sketched what I could see. It wasn’t easy because the layers that you see in a reflection are all squashed together. DoesContinue reading “Rain, Reflections And RSI”
