Husb was pitching an idea at the RSA Engage event at Swansea’s Cinema & Co this evening. The RSA is holding 20 Engage events across the UK which give people an opportunity to pitch an idea they want to develop in their local community, to get support from an informed audience and make newContinue reading “Engage And Scribble”

Studying Shrimp
Alongside making cyanotypes with my colleagues on a recent field trip, I also did some drawings. Here’s one at Craig-y-Nos in conté crayons – black, white and sanguine into an A4 sketchbook made from brown parcel paper. It took about 3 minutes and I did it mostly without looking at the paper. It forcedContinue reading “Studying Shrimp”
Tydfil The Martyr
Husb and I went to the Annibyniaeth march in Merthyr Tydfil today, it was great. There were 5,300 people marching for independence and 53 dogs. Of course I had to have a scribble – of the people and the dogs. The people stayed still for longer! Tydfil was a daughter of King BrychanContinue reading “Tydfil The Martyr”
A Gig On #Caturday
Husb and I just got back from a gig at Cinema & Co with the fabulous psychedelic band Omnichron. Of course, I had to have a scribble. Here’s a lovely song for #Caturday by Omnichron – it’s about a cat called Marmalade…

The museum isContinue reading “In The Graft Garden”

There was a very interesting honey extraction demo from local beekeepers Alyson and Chelsea. And a little boy put onContinue reading “The Beekeepers”
The Last Heads
And here are the last two heads that I drew at the Riverside Folk Club in Loughor last week. It’s right by, well, the river side. Gigs are a good opportunity for drawing as people are usually engrossed in what’s going on and keep reasonably still. Unless it’s a heavy metal gig. I’m usuallyContinue reading “The Last Heads”
A Nice Bit Of Perspective
Scribbling away at Loughor folk club the other evening, I saw this interesting arrangement of a hand in the foreground and a head in the back ground. Nice bit of perspective, I thought. So I scribbled it…..
Faces At The Folk Club
Some more scribbles from the Loughor Folk Club the other evening. Loughor is an interesting little fishing village on the estuary of the River Loughor / Afan Llwchwr.
