I’ve been carrying on doing randomised scribbles over discarded screenprints today. I’m planning on using them on Friday when I’m spending the whole day in Cardiff drawing / painting en plein air. I started with a screenprint that I did on Zerkall paper some time ago that I didn’t like and scribbled with a reddishContinue reading “Paper Experiments”

Scribbles, Screens And Sketches
A while back, some years in fact, I made some photoscreens using little annotated drawings from one of my sketchbooks and I printed them up onto really nice Zerkall paper. Unfortunately, I didn’t like them. They didn’t seem, to me, to make the transition from sketch to screenprint. So I stuffed them in a drawContinue reading “Scribbles, Screens And Sketches”
A Gallery Visit
Husb and I paid a visit to the lovely Workers Gallery in Ynyshir in the Rhondda Valley today. I am one of the gallery artists and I wanted to change the work I’m displaying there. Each gallery artist has a bit of wall to display their work. The Workers also has a Main Gallery forContinue reading “A Gallery Visit”
Teasing
Another little snippet of the beginnings of the new work I started last weekend. And now I’m putting it all in a big draw in my plans chest until the big reveal in a year or so. Oh yes …….. Such a tease …… It’s a little bit of a ‘ghost’ monotype ……..
Twijazzling And Sheeptacular
The Royal Welsh Show was on last week, the biggest annual agricultural show in Wales. I’ve been a couple of times but I find it a bit odd because I’m a proper townie. A while back, I visited some chums who raise pigs, in very nice humane conditions, and did some scribbling. One of myContinue reading “Twijazzling And Sheeptacular”
A Snippet
I posted a tiny bit of some work I started yesterday and today I took it a stage further. Here’s a little snippet of it but it’s secret at the moment so I can’t say anymore. Meanwhile, tomorrow …….
Mahoosive Manhole
Some manholes are much bigger than others, big enough to get a man down a hole. Here’s one printed by The Plebeian Printmakers the other weekend at the Gwyl Troublemakers Festival. You can get an idea of it’s size by looking at my ridiculous Bagpuss slippers at the bottom. And coming soon toContinue reading “Mahoosive Manhole”
Medieval Manhole
Some manholes are not manholes at all. They’re too small to get a man down. While I was doing some public printmaking with The Plebeian Printmakers a couple of weekends ago, we saw all sorts of manhole covers, big and small and this lovely one was one of the smallest. We were puzzled by itContinue reading “Medieval Manhole”
Medium-sized Manhole
I did some prints from street manhole covers along Swansea’s High Street as part of the Gwyl Troublemakers Festival a couple of weekends ago. I worked with some other printmakers from Swansea Print Workshop and we inked up all the way along the street. We wanted not only to take printmaking out into public, it’sContinue reading “Medium-sized Manhole”
A Taste Of Things To Come
An arty day, printing up a small vinyl block I cut some weeks ago. I’m working with prehistorian Dewi Bowen to produce a limited edition booklet for our event on July 31st at Swansea’s Cinema & Co. This is stage one……. We’ve been travelling across the wilder spaces of South Wales for about 18 monthsContinue reading “A Taste Of Things To Come”
