I scribble anywhere, me. Had a slow puncture in my back tyre so I took the opportunity to scribble some men at work. They do their jobs really quickly in the garage so each scribble was just a few seconds. But it’s useful to sketch some positions I don’t normally see, like using the jackContinue reading “Quickies In The Garage”

Partied Out!
I didn’t blog yesterday because I was out partying! Doesn’t happen often these days because I prefer to stay tucked up in a blankie on the settee in front of the telly – rock ‘n’ roll eh? A load of us went to the theatre in Neath to celebrate a friend’s birthday and we sawContinue reading “Partied Out!”
International Women’s Day- A&E
A beautiful drawing from a relatively new blogger with a love of sketchbooks……… International Women’s Day- A&E.
His Life On A Trolley.
This is the last of my scribbles from London. It was a bitterly cold evening and as we were waiting at Paddington train station to come home, I saw this homeless man sitting in front of us, his life packed onto a supermarket trolley, including a walking stick. One of his legs was in plasterContinue reading “His Life On A Trolley.”
Another Hat Another Hairdo
Sketching on the London Underground is great because no-one looks at you and if anyone happens to make eye contact, they look down again immediately. So I can indulge my voyeurism and scribble away. Here’s a great hairdo above and below a rather fetching hat – it was freezing and snowing while we were there.Continue reading “Another Hat Another Hairdo”
Hats And Hairdo
Last weekend in London was freezing and loads of people wore hats, great for scribbling. I like sketching on the Tube because people generally don’t look at each other so I can scribble away without being noticed. I find it hard to draw hats on heads, difficult to get the proportions right so it’s greatContinue reading “Hats And Hairdo”
In Old London Town
Husb has a brand new smart phone so I’m trying to blog from a South London pub where we’re celebrating a friend’s 60th birthday. I did some scribbling on the tube on the way over and another in the old pub in Southwark. This phone is a bit of a pig to use so that’sContinue reading “In Old London Town”
Snug As A Bug…
“Snug as a bug in a rug”, my Nana used to say. Little nephew is staying the night and watching Avengers Assemble on the big screen. He’s enthralled and just a little bit scared so he’s wrapped himself up in a big spotted blanket on the settee, snug as a bug in a rug. It’sContinue reading “Snug As A Bug…”
Two Blokes I-podding
It’s meat-free Monday so we went to our favourite curry house, The Vojon, for some sag ponir and garlic rice, sag aloo and tarka dal. Lovely. Restaurants are a good place for a quick scribble and I spotted these two chaps opposite, chatting and i-podding. Scribbled into my A6 blue silk recycled sketchbook with aContinue reading “Two Blokes I-podding”
Staggers
I was walking back throught the city centre this afternoon and revellers were already piling into Wind Street, Swansea’s notorious nightclub area. I wandered behind a group of women celebrating a birthday and got a close up view of legs staggering along on ridiculously high heels, making them look very muscly and quite bandy. IContinue reading “Staggers”
