Husb and I went out on New Year’s Eve, just enjoying that after all these long lockdowns, we are now able to! We went up to the Elysium Gallery and Bar to party and listen to live music with Bad Shout, Normal Behaviour and The Felix Subway Band. There’s such a brilliant live music sceneContinue reading “Felix Subway and the Hat Full of Menace.”

A Wassail Winner and a Magic Mushroom Hat!
Here’s the last drawing I did at the fundraiser at Cinema & Co.ffee the other night, for the MacMillan Cancer Charity and the Wounded Highlanders. I couldn’t resist scribbling these two, sitting and watching the indoor fire demos. The one on the left was wearing a magic mushroom (fly agaric) hat and won the fancyContinue reading “A Wassail Winner and a Magic Mushroom Hat!”
Scribbling and Indoor Fire…
Here are a couple more sketches I did yesterday evening into my sketchbook at Cinema & Co.ffee, where Husb and I went to a fundraising event for MacMillan Cancer Support and Wounded Highlanders (a veterans’ sports organisation). There was a varied programme throughout the evening including some cool videos and indoor fire demos from DdraigContinue reading “Scribbling and Indoor Fire…”
Hatching Tonight.
Husb and I are just back from Cinema & Co in the city centre, after a fund raiser for the MacMillan Nurses and Wounded Highlanders (a veteran’s charity). More about those tomorrow, it’s late now and I want to catch a quick bit of telly to get me in the mood for sleep. Nos DaContinue reading “Hatching Tonight.”
It’s Catmas!
It’s that time of year again when Husb’s digital drawing of the little furry tyrant, Sparta Puss, pops up to wish everyone the greetings of the season. Well, in her own way I guess 😀
Christmas Eve #Caturday
Christmas Eve in our house is a lazy time, for chilling out before the mayhem of the feast tomorrow. Here’s a quick sketch of Husb chilling with his late cat, Ming the Merciless. She was a very sweet, tiny long-haired tortie, who lived until she was 18. She loved to curl up on his lapContinue reading “Christmas Eve #Caturday”
Headphones In The Wild…
I was hanging out at one of my favourite places today, avoiding the Xmas mayhem in the city centre at the Waterstones Bookshop café, that I missed so much during the Covid lockdowns. I really appreciate being able to drop by now, to chill out and scribble a quiet slice of life. This young womanContinue reading “Headphones In The Wild…”
A Talk At The Gallery …
I went to a talk at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery at the weekend, given by the glass artist Chris Bird-Jones, who gave us an illustrated history of her fascinating practice. Of course, I had to have a scribble!
#StandingStoneSunday 15
The stone near Penlan Uchaf outside Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire has an amazing view over the countryside and out over the sea to the Worm’s Head, in the background. It’s very colourful, covered in bright lichens. This is a painting / drawing I did a few years ago, travelling across South Wales with Rhondda-born archaeologist Dewi Bowen andContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 15”
Hands And Specs.
Here’s a quick sketch I made in a gallery a few weeks ago, I really like drawing hands, even if I don’t get them right, they’re so interesting. And I’m starting to like drawing spectacles as well, used to hate them.
