Venus In Sin City.
Gigging and Scribbling. Husb and I went to Sin City, our local gig venue the other night, to see a band new to the both of us, “As December Falls” and supports. It was a cracking night out. I had to have a scribble of course. Neolithic Venuses. I did some quick continuous line drawingsContinue reading “Venus In Sin City.”
Coming Out Of Covid: Ceramics In The Community Centre.
People and Porcelain Spent a lovely afternoon at the community centre in Waun Wen today, working alongside local ceramicist Esther Ley who was running a short workshop, making porcelain cups. It was good to be able to have a small group of people together, within Covid19 restrictions of course. I had to have a quickContinue reading “Coming Out Of Covid: Ceramics In The Community Centre.”
Masked On The Bus
I didn’t go on public transport for ages because of the pandemic, but as the lockdown lifted I started using the bus occasionally to get to Waun Wen for my community arts project. I had to have a scribble of course. Usually there are not many people on the bus and so far everyone I’veContinue reading “Masked On The Bus”
Getting There
Sometimes I walk up to Waun Wen, I live within walking distance, but it’s uphill most of the way – easier on the way back. Sometimes I cadge a lift. And then sometimes I get a bus, but not often because I’m being cautious about the pandemic. Here’s a quick sketch at the central busContinue reading “Getting There”
Newspaper Scribbles
I like drawing on newspaper, it’s free so there’s no fretting over the possibility of spoiling an expensive piece of paper. It’s good for doing quick sketches en plein air when I’m out and about, when I’m drawing from life and have just a few seconds to get something down on the paper before someoneContinue reading “Newspaper Scribbles”
A Face In The Dark
This is the last of my sketches from the Rap gig at The Bunkhouse last week. Drawing in the dark is doubly difficult because it’s hard to see the paper and the marks I’m making and it’s also hard to see the subject. I used the continuous line technique for most of this, it madeContinue reading “A Face In The Dark”
DJ, B-Girl, Graffiti Writer
Another quick sketch from a rap gig at The Bunkhouse the other night. This is DJ, B-Girl and graffiti writer, Unity . Grooving on down. If that’s what people do at rap gigs. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the antiqueContinue reading “DJ, B-Girl, Graffiti Writer”
Some Heads
Here are some heads. There we go. Scribbled at random. A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks I have some small screenprints for sale, inspired by my drawings of the antique taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these vintage artifacts a modern twist by combining them with images of rubbish – oldContinue reading “Some Heads”
Dinosaurs In Platform Boots
Here’s another sketch from one of the local music bars. There’s a long history of music in Swansea and it seems to come and go in waves. When I was young – and dinosaurs roamed the earth (in platform boots) – there were LOADS of live music venues. Practically every night of the week. ThenContinue reading “Dinosaurs In Platform Boots”
