Busy busy busy in Bath. I have work in three exhibitions in Fringe Arts Bath this year. I’ve blogged about the first two in my previous 2 posts and now here’s the last – 3 little arty magnets in FAB Fridge, a street art extravaganza made up of over 500 little fridge magnets which willContinue reading “FAB Fridge Art”

Drawing Degenerates
I’m carrying on with my ‘Degenerates’ series of portrayals of contemporary artists that I work with. My focus is on drawing but I am also using paint as these are very large and I need to be able to cover big areas of colour. I don’t particularly like painting so I am using my fingersContinue reading “Drawing Degenerates”
Degenerates
I’m working on a new drawing installation for a Commensalis group show at Fringe Arts Bath opening on May the 23rd. It’s based on the concept of ‘Degenerate Art’ which the Nazis used to discredit many artists in the early 20th century. This work portrays artists whose political views, subject matter and/or techniques would beContinue reading “Degenerates”
Practice Makes Perfect (Maybe)
I’m having a quick scribble with Husb sat opposite on the settee. I’m using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note with the free Markers app. One advantage of doing a digital drawing is that I can save the stages to show how the drawing develops. It’s not a good likeness but daily drawing is about practice,Continue reading “Practice Makes Perfect (Maybe)”
Big Appetites
Just been for a Handi Polongwala to our local curry house, The Vojon and I scribbled this group of men at a nearby table. Big men, big appetites. Drawn into my little A6 sketchbook with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen size S.
Quick Scribbles
Went for a good walk today, taking in a couple of parks and the beach and we stopped at the little cafe on the promenade where I did a scribble into my small spotty sketchbook. Then took a walk around the city centre where I scribbled a few people standing at a traffic crossing. They’reContinue reading “Quick Scribbles”
The Last Drawing.
Today’s drawing blog from me with a new sketch
The Big Show (And A Scribble)
So last night (April 16th) was the night of the exhibition in Islamabad that our collaborative group of artists had worked so hard on throughout the previous 10 days. Here are some of the pictures of the opening at the Satrang Gallery. The British High Commissioner, Philip Barton, opened the show and was genuinely interestedContinue reading “The Big Show (And A Scribble)”
They Moved
I’m scribbling in a sandwich shop in Kuwait Airport on my way to Pakistan. I homed in on these two chaps having a snack nearby using a free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8. It’s always a risk when you sketch in public that your subject might move. This place does a crackingContinue reading “They Moved”
Where I Live
Yesterday’s weather was gorgeous and we went for a walk on the beach. It’s just a few minutes walk from my home and it’s lovely. I’m very lucky. The tide was fully in and still as a pond of mercury. People moved around at the water edge, walking their dogs, fishing, paddling. I stopped forContinue reading “Where I Live”
