*Groan*. Another hare pun 🙂 . Today I was at the Creative Bubble artspace in the city centre, with my colleagues Sylvie Evans and Graham Parker from the 15 Hundred Lives art collective, running another of our monthly public art events. We were joined by guest artist Patricia McKenna-Jones. Using the theme ‘Recycle’ we reusedContinue reading “Hare Today”

Cinema Scribbles
Just back from the cinema, we went to see The Hobbit, The Desolation Of Smaug. It’s terrific. Did some quick scribbles of some of the audience. Male pattern baldness is very widespread.
Snatching The Moment
There’s a lot of admin to do at the moment and trying to get fit after the Xmas excesses and the usual chores so it isn’t easy to fit in drawing time. In between doing lots of stuff today, I popped into Husb’s office for a few minutes. His window is opposite a row ofContinue reading “Snatching The Moment”
Stormy Scribbling
I went down to the seafront at high tide this morning. I only live a few minutes walk from Swansea Bay and the wind in the street was reasonable but by the time I reached the exposed coast, the gales were so ferocious that I had trouble standing up. The sea was fierce and IContinue reading “Stormy Scribbling”
Floods, Flan And Folly
Husb and I visited the quirky little town of Llandeilo earlier today. Founded in the 6th century, the town is a higgledy piggledy mix of buildings over the centuries clinging to the hill above the stone road bridge, where I stood facing West, with Paxton’s Folly on the horizon and did a drawing in oilContinue reading “Floods, Flan And Folly”
After The Storm
Husb and I just wrapped up warm and jumped in the car and nipped down to the sea front at high tide to watch the spectacular storm that was crashing over the promenade. I’d been nursing a nasty throat infection all day but was going stir crazy by this evening and this is supposed toContinue reading “After The Storm”
Stitched Up
First day of the new year and I’m laid up with a nasty cold and there’s torrential rain and gale force winds outside and there’s loads of houswork and DIY to be done. Feels like life has stitched me up. Anyway, no time for any new art today because after all the stuff I hadContinue reading “Stitched Up”
Filling In The Spaces
Here’s another digital drawing I did yesterday when I was visiting friends in Pembrokeshire. It was blowing a gale and I only had time for very speedy scribbles using the Magic Marker app on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet. I did more work on it today. It became much more abstract; I was not interested inContinue reading “Filling In The Spaces”
High Winds And Fast Scribbles
Carrying on with the Xmas socialising today, Husb and I visited some friends who live way out in the countryside in the wilds of the Preseli Mountains. We went for a walk and because it was so blustery, I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet for sketching,rather than my sketchbook which would have been unmanageable inContinue reading “High Winds And Fast Scribbles”
The Elder Dude Quietly Contemplates
I’ve been out and about and stuffing too much food for the past two days to do any drawing and I’m so stuffed I’m too lazy to sketch. So here’s a recent drawing, based on one in my sketchbook and redrawn over a solvent transfer print I made from an original digital photograph. It’s oneContinue reading “The Elder Dude Quietly Contemplates”
