The Director, Amy Nack has been organising this for five years now and attracts miniature prints from all over the world. This year’s deadline is April theContinue reading “Little Leftover”

Out Of Tune
I did my daily drawing in Waterstone’s Cafe, having a cup of coffee late this afternoon after getting stir crazy back at the studio. Daily drawing for me is like a singer practicing their scales each day. It’s fundamental to my practice as a visual artist. But sometimes the drawing doesn’t come out right, justContinue reading “Out Of Tune”
Proofed!
I cut these little lino blocks of running hares a few weeks ago. Now I’ve done some proof prints. I’m pleased with them so I’ll print up an edition. I’ve used black oil-based litho/relief ink onto a Japanese hand-made lightweight paper. I’ll probably do an edition of about 30 of each.
Big Wig And Crumble
We went to a Kate Bush themed birthday party yesterday and our friend, who is a strapping bloke, dressed as Kate in mahoosive wig. Fair do’s.Drawn into my A5 clothbound sketchbook with Faber Castell Pitt pens sizes F and B. And today, I picked the first of the new season’s rhubarb from the garden andContinue reading “Big Wig And Crumble”
A Day Off
I haven’t had a day off for ages, par for the course for the self employed, so today has been a lazy day. The only arty thing I’ve done is paint a mask for a Kate Bush themed party I’m off to this evening. See you tomorrow. 🙂
The Name Game
One of the things I find hard to do is think up names for my artworks. I don’t want to number them #1, #2, #3 and so on. And I don’t like to label them ‘Untitled’, so I often struggle to name a piece. This little lino block of a dancing March hare was easyContinue reading “The Name Game”
Senedd
The Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, the site yesterday evening for an arts event showcasing the culture of the city of Swansea. My chum, Melanie Ezra and I were asked to curate a small exhibition of visual art and some ‘live’ art as well. Here are two of my ‘live’ drawings next to Jonathan Green’s cow-in-a-microwave-on-a-plinthContinue reading “Senedd”
Fozzy In A Microwave
Had a very busy day setting up a pop-up exhibition at the Welsh Senedd (Government) for this evening. It was a cultural event put on for Assembly Members (politicians) and my chum, Melanie Ezra and I curated the small show. I also did a 2 hour stint doing ‘live’ art. As I was scribbling thisContinue reading “Fozzy In A Microwave”
Saucer Eyes
Another day stuck behind a computer, phoning, going to meetings …… it’s a good job that I’ve committed to producing an artblog each day otherwise I’d never get any artwork done! I popped over to The Fox Project again for a look at their photos and came across a little cub with huge saucer eyes.Continue reading “Saucer Eyes”
Fox And Frustration
It’s been a frustrating day. I’ve been searching for airfares online since lunchtime and I’m sick of the sight of the computer! I haven’t done anything creative so I searched the photos of one of my favourite Facebook sites, The Fox Project. I had a quick scribble. Here it is. And now to bed. Goodnight.Continue reading “Fox And Frustration”
