Been very busy with work and family for the past week or so and had little time to get out and scribble, so I’ve taken the easy way out and scribbled Sparta Puss who obligingly dosses around the place looking picturesque. It’s hard to keep a fresh approach to a subject that you drawContinue reading “More Kitteh!”

Scribbling Sparta
Haven’t done a scribble of Sparta Puss for a while, mainly because she’s so consistently naughty that we spend most of our time with her chasing the mice / rats / birds she brings in to rescue them and get them out of the house! But this evening she was in a very sweet moodContinue reading “Scribbling Sparta”
Square Eyes
Husb was sitting in a dark corner using his laptop earlier and the screen was reflected in his specs, making his eyes look quite square. So I scribbled him. By the way, he chose to sit in a dark corner. It isn’t some sort of naughty step type punishment. Honest 🙂
Wonky Boots
Only time for a very quickie sketch today so I scribbled my boots which are a bit wonky now that I’ve worn them in. I’m not a shoe person and I don’t like shiny, pristine footwear so I like my boots best when they’re a bit battered. I don’t get the shopping for shoes thingContinue reading “Wonky Boots”
The Little Model
Had a fun weekend with lots of visitors staying and a friend’s birthday celebration curry to go to. My little great-nephew made himself comfortable on a very large bed and played with his Wii, cwtched up with his beloved Garfield hot water bottle. Normally he fidgets and wriggles, but give him a computer game andContinue reading “The Little Model”
Cream Crackered
Did loads today – up early to lend a hand putting up my next exhibition at The Brunswick – opening party on Wednesday 19th from 7-ish if you fancy dropping by; then a long stint digging in horse manure on the allotment – ahh nothing like wet poo in the relentless drizzle! Then a quickContinue reading “Cream Crackered”
DIY HELL
He’s at it again. Husb is making a fitted cupboard in an alcove. I don’t know why he puts himself through it. He hates DIY. But it’s a very good opportunity for me to get in some speed sketching of someone in weird positions that you don’t normally see every day. I don’t mind ifContinue reading “DIY HELL”
Them Pesky Kids!
Still struggling to draw children – they’re soooo weird. Funny little faces squished into great big heads. And they won’t keep still. And you’re not allowed to tie them to chairs. Nanny State Nonsense! 😉
Grumpy Old Man
Husb needed some new clothes. This meant spending a couple of hours in the city traipsing around the shops listening to him complaining, “They’ve taken a perfectly good jacket and written STUFF all over it!” “Have you seen the state on these trousers! They’re down around their backsides!”. “Look at the cut on these jeans!!!!!Continue reading “Grumpy Old Man”
My Chair??!!
Had a hectic couple of weeks and decided to spend a few hours slobbing in my favourite chair. But someone else had bagged it. So I had to stand and scribble instead as Sparta snoozed. In comfort. On MY chair!! We are their slaves…..
