One From The Archives ….

One of my favourite places is Paviland, a strange otherworldly cove on the coast of the Gower Peninsula which is the site of the Goat’s Hole Cave, famous for the skeleton of the  “Red Lady of Paviland“, which is actually a young man. From the main road, it’s a fair walk across fields via aContinue reading “One From The Archives ….”

Elder Heads: 3

And another hastily scribbled head of an elderly woman. She looks like she has had the cares of the world on her for many years. Graphite into a Khadi hand-made paper sketchbook.

Elder Heads: 2

Another scribble of an older person, as we get older we often look more like the opposite sex and it can be hard to tell elder men and women apart without cues like clothing, jewellery, make-up. I’ve used a graphite block into a Khadi handmade paper sketchbook.

I guess it’s my age, I get to go places where there are lots of elders these days. I used to go places where there were lots of younger people. When I was younger LOL 😀

It’s #Caturday Saturday …..

Here’s a sketch of Sparta Puss I did during the first lockdown in 2020. She got used to me being around all the time and was a bit miffed when I went back to work. Yes, she IS that chubby!

Covid Queueing.

I was flicking through some sketchbooks and saw scribbles done during the daily Covid19 walks that Husb and I did back in 2020. Honestly, we haven’t been as fit since. The little café had opened in Cwmdonkin Park (loved by Dylan Thomas) and people were queueing masked and two metres apart in the sunshine toContinue reading “Covid Queueing.”

This Seagull Got Stuffed.

Now, a lot of people in Swansea, and other places too, don’t like seagulls. I don’t particularly care for them myself to be honest, except when they zoom down and pinch someone’s burger in the street …. or poop on Husb’s head, which has happened many times 😀 But I like drawing them. This isContinue reading “This Seagull Got Stuffed.”
