It’s Saturday Caturday and here’s Sparta Puss asleep on my Flexcut cutting tools. She wasn’t too impressed that I was getting on with some art stuff and not giving her enough attention (enough is never enough!) so she subverted me!

Stroll And Scribble: 1
Husb and I went out for a stroll this evening. We used to do it a lot before Covid19 and even during the lockdowns, we took our allocated one hour a day. But after I caught the dreaded lurgi, about 2 years ago, I lost so much stamina and I’m only recently regaining it. IContinue reading “Stroll And Scribble: 1”
Musicians And Europe….
This is the series of musical heads I drew recently at a gig that was held to draw attention to the problems that musicians are now facing because of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. This isn’t a comment of the pros and cons of withdrawal, but about how musicians are being affected. WhenContinue reading “Musicians And Europe….”
Sketchbook Archives: 2
Here’s a few of the sketches I did en plein air back in September 2011, in the earliest days of this blog. I used to be out and about so much, scribbling away into my sketchbooks, but the Covid19 pandemic restrictions disrupted that and I haven’t really got back into it. I sketch at gigsContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 2”
Tha Bass Player …
And continuing the theme of musicians I have drawn at gigs recently, here’s a young bassist who also happens to be related to me. Aren’t I lucky? Bassists are cool. Graphite into my Khadi sketchbook.
A Head At A Gig … The Thoughtful One …
I spotted this bloke at a gig Husb and I recently went to, he was in the audience and lost in his own world of thoughts … which meant that he kept pretty still, easier for me to draw 😀 I used a graphite block into my Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.
A Head At A Gig….The Jolly One…
Here’s another muso from a gig Husb and I went to the other evening. He is a jolly musician in a very jolly and upbeat band. He was fun to draw. I used a graphite block into my Khadi handmade paper sketchbook. I like the thick graphite with this textured paper, anything finer would struggleContinue reading “A Head At A Gig….The Jolly One…”
A Head At A Gig…The Beardy One…
I love live music, I used to listen to albums for hours on end, but now I’m no longer a teenager, I prefer to go to gigs. It’s nice to get a chance to draw musicians too. This is a quick portrait sketch of a muso with a magnificent beard, I used a graphite blockContinue reading “A Head At A Gig…The Beardy One…”
The Guitarist …
Husb and I went to a gig on Saturday, but more of that another day. I had to have a scribble, of course, and I spotted this young guitarist who had a really unusual look, so I sketched her.
Rhythms In The Garden ….
Every year, a chum holds a garden party on her birthday. Her organic garden is fantastic, hewn from a steep and uncompromising hillside, every inch of ground packed with exquisite flora. No flashy architectural hard landscaping, no astroturf, just the outcome of years of hard work and a great love of plants. I don’t findContinue reading “Rhythms In The Garden ….”
