A few days ago I did a short online art course, the Saturday Sketch Club with the Royal Academy of Arts. The session was about drawing from the imagination with the artist Emyr Williams. It was so good for me because it’s something I just don’t normally do, I like to work from what’s inContinue reading “Drawing From Imagination”

Shlug And Pants!
The singer in the Shlug band performs in his pants. That’s British pants, not American pants. He performs in his kecks. His trons. His undies. And he’s brilliant. And the band is brilliant. I sketched them recently at Hangar 18 in the Swansea Fringe. I did the portrait sketch with Nitram charcoal and the scribbledContinue reading “Shlug And Pants!”
High Speed Shlug!
Here’s a few speed sketches I did of the very fast and furious band Shlug at The Swansea Fringe recently. Incredibly loud and rapid music and a lead singer who doesn’t stop, rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands. It’s a challenge to draw that quickly, especially in a dark venue (Hangar 18) with lotsContinue reading “High Speed Shlug!”
#Caturday! Kitty Surprise!
It’s #Caturday Saturday and here’s a wacky photo of a surprised Sparta Puss with a little kitty pal who looks, frankly, a bit wooden 😉

Swansea Fringe 2023: Rock Foxes 2.
Some more sketches the very loud and very entertaining punk band Rock Foxes at the Swansea Fringe last weekend at Crowley’s Rock Bar. There’s some terrific banter between the band members. When I’m speed sketching, there’s usually only enough time to get an impression of what’s before me, especially with rock bands who tend to be moving aContinue reading “Swansea Fringe 2023: Rock Foxes 2.”
Swansea Fringe 2023: Rock Foxes 1
Here are a couple of sketches of the punk band Rock Foxes at the Swansea Fringe last weekend at Crowley’s Rock Bar. I did this with Derwent Inktense blocks and a reservoir water brush into my Khadi sketchbook. I put too much water onto the paper and my lines ran but I like it. The quickContinue reading “Swansea Fringe 2023: Rock Foxes 1”
Swansea Fringe 2023: Dafydd Hedd
Here are three sketches of the Indie Rock musician Dafydd Hedd and a fellow musician who appeared the Fringe last weekend at Crowley’s Rock Bar. I did the pen sketches first but wasn’t happy with them so I switched to Nitram charcoal into my Khadi sketchbook, which I prefer.
Swansea Fringe 2023: Lurcher 3.
Another sketch from Lurcher‘s performance last weekend at Hangar 18 at this year’s Swansea Fringe. This time I left the bassist alone and scribbled the lead singer. It was a quick sketch and the venue was dark so I didn’t notice the wobbly hand until the next day. I really like it.
