When The Postman Knocked
For a few years now, I’ve entered the Leftovers international miniature print exchange, organised by the lovely printmakers at Wingtip Press, Boise, Idaho, USA. Printmakers from all over the world send an edition of 14 tiny original prints, done on pieces of leftover paper, and in return twelve are selected at random and sent back,Continue reading “When The Postman Knocked”
A Nice Manhole
Here’s a short interview with me, here, about the two events I’m taking part in this coming weekend, July 15th and 16th with The Plebeian Scribblers and The Plebeian Printmakers. I’ll be up to arty shenanigans with hordes of other arty types in a 4 day arty party on Swansea’s High Street starting tomorrow courtesyContinue reading “A Nice Manhole”
Violent When Brushed
I did a quick scribble this evening into my tiny A7 size sketchbook with a biro (ballpoint) pen. It’s been a busy day; I went to Cardiff on the bus for two meetings with fellow artists, planning arty collaborations, and then I got travel sick on the way home. Not nice. So I’ve onlyContinue reading “Violent When Brushed”
Primitive And Clunky
Went for a longish walk this afternoon in the continuing heatwave and we kept up a cracking pace and I didn’t have time to do a scribble in my sketchbook. So I grabbed my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 when I was sitting down chilling out with a cup of iced green tea (oooh getContinue reading “Primitive And Clunky”
A Different Way
I’ve started to use my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Tablet again for drawing, with a free Markers app, and I’m approaching it in a different way, being much more experimental than before. I haven’t drawn with it for a couple of years and I am being freer with it. I built up this portrait headContinue reading “A Different Way”
Tattoos
Here’s the second of the life drawings I did this week at Swansea Print Workshop. I used the free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 and drew with the stylus and also my fingers. This is an older model who has many blueline tattoos and a terrific, bright personality.
AfterLife
That’s after life drawing, which finished about half an hour ago at Swansea Print Workshop and I’m squeezing in a quick blog before I go to bed. This is the warm up drawing I did, just a few minutes to get used to the pose and I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with aContinue reading “AfterLife”
Stamping!
I’m going to be running some creative training sessions soon and one of them is going to be about stamping. That’s not moving your feet up and down with force, but the practice of creating new artworks from rubber – or lino or wood – stamps. I’ve been doing some work in this technique, inspiredContinue reading “Stamping!”
Just A Quick One
I didn’t do any art today, bogged down with admin and cooking, so I had a quick scribble when a relative popped round this evening. My friends and family are fair game. If they sit still for a few minutes, it’s inevitable that they’ll end up in my sketchbook. It’s a very small sketchbookContinue reading “Just A Quick One”
