Out gallivanting at a gig again on Saturday night, having a scribble as ever. It was very dark and this bloke was all in black with long black hair and this is what I ended up with.

It’s such a long time ago now, that I did a month-long artist residency in Pakistan, it was wonderful. And I met a Pakistani cat called Messi. So I drew him. I was going through a digital drawing phase at the time, using a free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
And More Legs Inked And Printed.
I didn’t stop at one pair of heavy metal legs, oh no, I did another (and I’ve got a third pair on the go). I’ve been drawing loads of them at gigs and I’m having a bit of fun carving them into lino and printing them up. They’re different to the ones I posted yesterday.Continue reading “And More Legs Inked And Printed.”
Legs – Inked And Printed.
Here’s the first print of my little linocut “Heavy Metal Legs” that I based on many sketches of legs at heavy metal gigs in recent years. It’s a 10 x 10 cm square ready for submission to Miniprint Cymru.
Inking Up My Legs…
Well, not my legs exactly, my little lino block based on my series of sketches called “Heavy Metal Legs”. I’m using black Cranfield Caligo Safewash oil-based Relief Ink and traditional grey lino. I used Flexcut tools to cut the block.
The Flat Hat.
It seems that flat hats are back. I always associate flat caps with old blokes, but now that I’m old, it’s a bit of a surprise seeing young men wearing them. Yes, it’s a young man in my sketch but the flat hat and moustache (also making a comeback apparently) that make him look older.Continue reading “The Flat Hat.”

Back about a decade ago I went through a phase of drawing on a Galaxy Tablet using a free “Markers” app. This is a digital sketch of a young Sparta, she was about 4 and a half years old here. She’s 16 this Autumn.
Leaning…
Here’s another of my quick gig scribbles, this guy was sitting and leaning his arm against a pillar, while his other arm leant against the bar. I used the continuous line technique which helped to establish the proportions between the chair and the two people.
Anti Social Networking
There’s an informal monthly after-work networking meet-up at Urban HQ, organised by the irrepressible Lucy Beddall. It’s called The Anti Social. Husb and I popped along last week, a lot of creatives go along, as well as people with their own businesses and those working in the third and non-profit sectors. Of course, I hadContinue reading “Anti Social Networking”
Overlaying Scribbles.
Out at Elysium a few nights ago (such a gadabout!) and I was having a scribble while listening to some funky rap. I was trying to draw a crowd scene but people kept moving around. HOW VERY DARE THEY?! So rather than start new drawings, I just overlaid them on top of one another. IContinue reading “Overlaying Scribbles.”
