The Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, the site yesterday evening for an arts event showcasing the culture of the city of Swansea. My chum, Melanie Ezra and I were asked to curate a small exhibition of visual art and some ‘live’ art as well. Here are two of my ‘live’ drawings next to Jonathan Green’s cow-in-a-microwave-on-a-plinthContinue reading “Senedd”

Fozzy In A Microwave
Had a very busy day setting up a pop-up exhibition at the Welsh Senedd (Government) for this evening. It was a cultural event put on for Assembly Members (politicians) and my chum, Melanie Ezra and I curated the small show. I also did a 2 hour stint doing ‘live’ art. As I was scribbling thisContinue reading “Fozzy In A Microwave”
The Creative Bubble
Just finished two days at Creative Bubble artspace with the 15 Hundred Lives artist collective. We use the space for a couple of days each month, to work together, sprawl all over the walls to do something big, invite other artists to work with us and open the door to the public so theyContinue reading “The Creative Bubble”
A Long, Hard Day
Had a very long day, travelling to Birmingham and leaving at 6am. Arrived back home 14 hours later. First stop was at the visa office to submit my paperwork for a very exciting trip I’m planning for next month – more to come on that. We had enough time to drive into the city centreContinue reading “A Long, Hard Day”
Day 1: In The Curry House
I’m taking part in a Facebook daily drawing challenge for February and there are artists from across the planet posting work up. I try and do a daily drawing anyway but entering something like this will keep me motivated. Here’s a couple in the local curry house. It has some wild upholstery.
Practice and Photobomb!
I did some portrait drawings this afternoon, working with friend and fellow artist Natie. I’m preparing for a major piece of work later this year and need to bring my portrait drawing up to scratch, so Natie dropped by to help me out and I did some drawings in charcoal and chalk onto newspaper. IContinue reading “Practice and Photobomb!”
Tube And Tate
Just back from a day trip to London to see the Paul Klee exhibition at Tate Modern. I had a bit of a scribble on the London Underground before the show. It’s difficult to look at someone like Klee with fresh eyes because he was so influential that his legacy is all around us inContinue reading “Tube And Tate”
Finding Inspiration Part 2
Day 2 at the last 15 Hundred Lives art event at the Creative Bubble Artspace in December and I continued to sketch out some of the faces of women murdered in Britain during the year, 199 at the time. Unusually I’m using canvas and some paint, along with oil bars which I worked into theContinue reading “Finding Inspiration Part 2”
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.
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”
