We have some little relatives staying overnight so there’s a scribbling opportunity while they watch cartoons. Unfortunately, they’re really hard to draw, with weird heads and ridiculously oversized eyes. I did a couple of digital sketches of the 6 year old but I don’t think either looks like her. But that’s the way it goes.Continue reading “Sprog!”

W.I.P.
Work in progress on a very big drawing at the Creative Bubble artspace where there’s a 2-day Big Draw going on. This figure is based on a quick sketch I did recently of a ‘sagger’, you know, those lads who wear their trousers almost around their knees. I’ll be adding some more figures tomorrow. I’mContinue reading “W.I.P.”
Pink Plaster
Here’s a digital drawing I made from a photograph. I like to draw people on the street but sometimes they move too quickly and I need to take photos for reference. I’m going to be working on a large drawing at the Creative Bubble shop in the city centre tomorrow and Saturday and I wantContinue reading “Pink Plaster”

Prelims
I spent the afternoon at Swansea Print Workshop, doing some preliminary studies for a small series of work I want to finish by the end of the month. I’ve been doing some sketches and photographs and I developed a working drawing from these. I scanned and printed it out to fit one of my perspexContinue reading “Prelims”
Blackberry Vinegar
Feeling a bit under the weather today so I had a cup of hot blackberry vinegar this evening. Husb and I managed to get a final pick late in September and put the fruit into large jars, packing it down lightly,and covered the fruit with white wine vinegar. After a few days,we strained the fruitContinue reading “Blackberry Vinegar”
Big Hair And Jimjams
Husb and I were in Cardiff yesterday to go to the opening of Sarah Hopkins’ new exhibition of screenprints at the Fountain Gallery. As we drove through the city at lunchtime, I spotted this chap out in the street,chatting on his mobile phone in his pajamas. I took a sneaky snap and drew from itContinue reading “Big Hair And Jimjams”
Taking It Further….
A while back, I did some sketchbook scribbles of performance artists in the street at an event called Disruption II in Swansea. I’ve been developing new work from some of the sketches and a couple of months ago, I did a massive drawing installation based on one of the tiny scribbles. Here it is. I’veContinue reading “Taking It Further….”
Fasto
Husb and I spent some of the night on the ferry from Ireland to Wales. We finally got to bed at 3am but had a nice lie-in and just chilled out today. It was a smooth crossing and I didn’t vomit once! The Irish Sea can be really rough but it was behaving itself lastContinue reading “Fasto”
Killarny Bar
Husb and I spent some time in Killarny in Ireland yesterday and wandered into a very posh hotel that had live music in the bar. It’s a good opportunity to scribble as people are engrossed in the music. Here are a few of the people there . It’s also a chance to draw an interiorContinue reading “Killarny Bar”
