Just a quick sketch that I did at GS Artists a few days ago, scribbling people in the audience. These little drawings underpin my artistic practice, I have thousands of them, tucked away in cupboards all over the house.

Blind Contour And Continuous Line
Here are some more heads I drew on Saturday at GS Artists. I started with a speed sketch using the blind contour technique, where I kept the pen on the paper and didn’t look at it at all as I drew, keeping my gaze on the person. It’s a good warm-up exercise. Then IContinue reading “Blind Contour And Continuous Line”
Unsuspecting Heads
Here are some heads from my sketchbook. I like to keep sketching, it underpins my artistic practice, so wherever I am, out and about, I like to have a scribble and I like to scribble heads because I love drawing expressions of people who have no idea that I’m visually stalking them!!!!! I did theseContinue reading “Unsuspecting Heads”
Controversy, Art And Having A Scribble
I went to GS Artists on Swansea’s High Street this afternoon for the launch of their new exhibition and a panel talk and a tasty vegan lunch. Of course, I had to have a scribble. I was sitting next to fellow scribbler Patti McKenna-Jones and she was having a scribble too. The panel included artistsContinue reading “Controversy, Art And Having A Scribble”
The Turk In The Dark
Husb and I went to the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery this evening to a talk by the artist Gavin Turk which was fun and provocative. It was very hot and very dark. Of course, I had to have a scribble. It was hard to see him as I was right at the back and itContinue reading “The Turk In The Dark”
Being Human
Husb and I went to Swansea’s independent Cinema & Co this evening for the first of Swansea University’s Being Human Festival events, about assassination. Nice. Of course, I had to have a scribble. It was quite dark but that’s good practice.
Chonk!
I can’t keep the creative juices flowing constantly. I think most artists are the same. It isn’t a 9 to 5 job. Some days I don’t make art, but I still like to draw, even for a few minutes, to keep my hand in. That’s where the cat comes in handy, she’s always around forContinue reading “Chonk!”
A Local Hero
I spent a lovely afternoon at GS Artists on Swansea’s High Street, working with fellow artist Patti McKenna-Jones, running a collage workshop. It was organised by GS Artists director, Jane, and Amina from Fusion as part of Swansea’s second annual 9-90 arts festival. Our theme this year is “Local Hero” and Jane and Amina choseContinue reading “A Local Hero”
Little Lulu
Here’s another family kitty… shhhh …. don’t tell Sparta Puss! She’s a very slimline tortoiseshell cat called Lulu. I drew her on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free app called Markers.
We’re Not Proud
From November 9th at Cinema & Co, Swansea, the new BogArt exhibition by me and Patti McJones. Art is mostly exhibited in galleries and museums that can be quite intimidating to many people, so Patti and I took up an offer by Anna, the owner of Cinema & Co, to use her substantial toilets toContinue reading “We’re Not Proud”
