Here’s the last drawing I did at the fundraiser at Cinema & Co.ffee the other night, for the MacMillan Cancer Charity and the Wounded Highlanders. I couldn’t resist scribbling these two, sitting and watching the indoor fire demos. The one on the left was wearing a magic mushroom (fly agaric) hat and won the fancyContinue reading “A Wassail Winner and a Magic Mushroom Hat!”

Scribbling and Indoor Fire…
Here are a couple more sketches I did yesterday evening into my sketchbook at Cinema & Co.ffee, where Husb and I went to a fundraising event for MacMillan Cancer Support and Wounded Highlanders (a veterans’ sports organisation). There was a varied programme throughout the evening including some cool videos and indoor fire demos from DdraigContinue reading “Scribbling and Indoor Fire…”
Hatching Tonight.
Husb and I are just back from Cinema & Co in the city centre, after a fund raiser for the MacMillan Nurses and Wounded Highlanders (a veteran’s charity). More about those tomorrow, it’s late now and I want to catch a quick bit of telly to get me in the mood for sleep. Nos DaContinue reading “Hatching Tonight.”
It’s Catmas!
It’s that time of year again when Husb’s digital drawing of the little furry tyrant, Sparta Puss, pops up to wish everyone the greetings of the season. Well, in her own way I guess 😀
Christmas Eve #Caturday
Christmas Eve in our house is a lazy time, for chilling out before the mayhem of the feast tomorrow. Here’s a quick sketch of Husb chilling with his late cat, Ming the Merciless. She was a very sweet, tiny long-haired tortie, who lived until she was 18. She loved to curl up on his lapContinue reading “Christmas Eve #Caturday”
Headphones In The Wild…
I was hanging out at one of my favourite places today, avoiding the Xmas mayhem in the city centre at the Waterstones Bookshop café, that I missed so much during the Covid lockdowns. I really appreciate being able to drop by now, to chill out and scribble a quiet slice of life. This young womanContinue reading “Headphones In The Wild…”
A Talk At The Gallery …
I went to a talk at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery at the weekend, given by the glass artist Chris Bird-Jones, who gave us an illustrated history of her fascinating practice. Of course, I had to have a scribble!
A Mischief of Maris
I’ve finished printing a load of little Mari Lwyd linocut prints for Hen Galan cards in mid-January. As far as I know there isn’t an official collective noun for lots of Mari Lwyds, but quite a few people on social media have suggested a Mischief of Maris, to reflect the naughty, sometimes bawdy, nature ofContinue reading “A Mischief of Maris”
Mari Lwyd …. Printing It ….
I carried on with the little Mari Lwyd lino block that I cut the other day and started printing. I used Cranfield Litho / Relief SafeWash ink onto a lightweight fibrous paper made from recycled saris that I bought in Swansea Market. I’m happy with the proof print, now to make a whole lot ofContinue reading “Mari Lwyd …. Printing It ….”
#StandingStoneSunday 15
The stone near Penlan Uchaf outside Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire has an amazing view over the countryside and out over the sea to the Worm’s Head, in the background. It’s very colourful, covered in bright lichens. This is a painting / drawing I did a few years ago, travelling across South Wales with Rhondda-born archaeologist Dewi Bowen andContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 15”
