Husb took me out to lunch today. Fish and chips in the Windsor Caff. With salt and lashings of vinegar. Lovely. I had a very few minutes to scribble and I drew the lady opposite us. I’m a bit uncomfortable about drawing people who are out-of-the ordinary, as I don’t want to risk poking funContinue reading “Fish ‘N’ Chips”

Pants And Preserves
I’m a grumpy old git and proud of it. Honestly, I sound just like my Dad did back in the day. Husb and I were battling through the Xmas crowds in the city centre yesterday and got stuck behind these two young lads, wearing these RIDICULOUS trousers without belts or braces so that we getContinue reading “Pants And Preserves”
Step Ten: 19 A Clarence Street; The door of Perception.

The door is open (well it might be closed but you can always press the buzzer) to my studio @ SPW 11am -1pm and 2pm – 4pm daily from Friday 14th to Tuesday 18th of December respectively. Come visit me, we might have tea or pull a print, or…
OOOFFF! It’s Hard
I’m working from a life drawing that I did quite quickly and I didn’t have time to draw in a hand, so I need to construct one in the mixed-media piece I’m doing. I made a start by doing some technical exercises, working from anatomy books by Burne Hogarth and Sarah Simlett. I find handsContinue reading “OOOFFF! It’s Hard”
Sparta Says……
I thought I’d put the psychokitty on a greetings card. So all the very best for the holiday season. 🙂 ps the drawing is by husb, using a digital programme on his laptop, don’t know which – probably Adobe Photoshop. And I photoshopped in the background, snowflakes and text. Inspired by the mad-as-a-box-of-frogs Sparta.
Poor And Skinny
I was tidying up the other day and found an old life drawing that I’d forgotten about. I like it very much so I’ve started working it up into a mixed media drawing. People often tell me that my nudes remind them of Egon Schiele’s work. I’m very flattered by this because he’s one ofContinue reading “Poor And Skinny”
Mayhem In Waiting…
After the excitement of blogging about Iceland and wrestling my computer back from Sparta the psychokitteh, I’ve settled down into some domestic normality. Husb and our little great-niece put the Xmas tree up this evening and I sat and scribbled – and issued directions. I sketched some of the tree and baubles and noticed someoneContinue reading “Mayhem In Waiting…”
Felix Envy
Hello fur-less monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I’ve got my paws on the pooter box again. The feeble-minded apes that I choose to live with went away to an icy land last week – in the middle of winter! I mean, honestly! They paid to be cold when they could have stayed home with us andContinue reading “Felix Envy”
The Hidden People
This is definitely my last blog about my recent trip to Iceland, probably. Our most excellent guide, Olafur, told us about the hidden people, the Huldufólk, supernatural beings who live in rock formations and only rarely show themselves to humans. Many Icelanders believe in their existence. One day, we went off road in giant jeepsContinue reading “The Hidden People”
