I saw this member of the audience when I went to see some Welsh rappers in Cardiff recently, and I really liked the clothes, the hat and the way they stood. So I had to have a quick scribble. The gig was organised by my fellow artist Unity, who is not only a graffiti artist but also aContinue reading “Rapping In Cardiff: 3”

Rapping In Cardiff: 2
I went to see some Welsh rappers in Cardiff recently, a gig organised by my fellow artist Unity, who is not only a graffiti artist but also a rapper herself. It was pretty dark but that doesn’t put me off having a scribble in my sketchbook. Here’s a dancer and a listener.
Rapping In Cardiff: 1
Husb and I went up to The ‘Diff a couple of weeks ago to see some Welsh Rappers in The Rockin’ Chair Jamaican Bar in Riverside. It was fab. Here’s a sketch at the beginning of the evening, when the DJ was spinning.
Tucked Away ….
I’ve got lots of photos of the sketches I do at gigs and out and about, but none of me actually drawing. So I asked Husb to take some. Here I am during the Swansea Fringe a few weeks ago, tucked away in corners. I really get in the zone.
#StandingStoneSunday 13
It’s #StandingStoneSunday again on social media and here’s one in a field near Pontyberem in Carmarthenshire. Click here to read more about this magnificent monuent. I drew it on my adventures with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams a few years back, in the days before the Covid lockdown. All the megaliths on our travels are connected to theContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 13”
#Caturday Archives: 12
It’s Saturday / Caturday again and here’s another from my cat drawing archives, our youngest, Sparta Puss, aka Sparty Pants, Spartsy and Tyrant. She’s drawn with conte crayons in black, white and sanguine into a brown paper sketchbook.
#FungiFriday
I did a group session at Swansea Print Workshop a few weeks ago, with other printmakers. We worked in two techniques, linocut and collagraph, and made tiny blocks and plates using a collection of local fungi as our inspiration. I drew mine in pencil and Inktense blocks. Then we printed them up into a limitedContinue reading “#FungiFriday”
Noodling …..
My teenage nephew is staying over, he’s a music student and I wanted to do some sketching with him. I’ve been doing a lot of scribbling at gigs recently but there’s not enough time to really focus on details like hands and the position and the foreshortening of the instruments. As he “noodled” with hisContinue reading “Noodling …..”
Swansea Fringe 13: Two Til Twelve.
Sometimes when I’m sketching at a gig, the music influences me more than at other times, like when I did this one at the recent Swansea Fringe. The movements of the guitarist in Two Til Twelve and the music got me scribbling manically, more so than usual. I really got into the zone with myContinue reading “Swansea Fringe 13: Two Til Twelve.”
Swansea Fringe 12: Quick Scribbles.
These very quick sketches are from the first night I drew at this year’s Swansea Fringe, at Crowley’s Rock Bar. I find it’s good practice to rattle off some very quick scribbles at the beginning of a drawing session, to warm up. I suppose it’s like a singer doing scales in the dressing room orContinue reading “Swansea Fringe 12: Quick Scribbles.”
