I was in Cardiff at the annual Printed Festival in the Chapter Art Centre this afternoon, helping out on Swansea Print Workshop’s pitch. Here’s one of my colleagues doing some demonstrations of tiny prints made with the Tetra Pak drypoint technique.

Archive: A Collage In Cardiff.
I’m flicking through my archives, this is from 2017 when I went off to Cardiff to work en plein air, in the street in Mill Lane. Unusually for me I decided to work with collage. I don’t find collage particularly intuitive, it’s quite difficult for me as I normally draw everything. But now and againContinue reading “Archive: A Collage In Cardiff.”
Rapping In Cardiff 7: Striding
This is the last of the rappers I saw in Cardiff a few weeks ago. He was striding around the floor a lot which meant that he had a bit more light on him than performers who stayed on the small stage, but he also moved quickly which made him harder to sketch. But it’sContinue reading “Rapping In Cardiff 7: Striding”
Rapping In Cardiff 6: The Darkness
I did quite a few sketches in my sketchbooks when I was at a rap gig in Cardiff a couple of weeks ago, but it was quite dark. The stage lighting was set up to light the DJ, not the rappers so I couldn’t see much of almost everyone I scribbled. This performer just hadContinue reading “Rapping In Cardiff 6: The Darkness”
Rapping In Cardiff 5: The Red Dancer
I did quite a few sketches at the rap gig in Cardiff I went to a few weeks ago. It’s challenging working in the dark, I managed to catch a few people in the occasional pool of semi-light. I sketched this dancer with the extraordinary red hair in ballpoint pen and washes of Inktense colourContinue reading “Rapping In Cardiff 5: The Red Dancer”
Rapping In Cardiff: 4 (Mad Punk Ranters)
Another quick sketch from my recent visit to The ‘Diff to a gig organised by fellow artist Unity, who is also a rapper. People who have known me a long time are a bit puzzled because I’ve always been a metalhead, but to be fair, I do like other types of music, just that metalContinue reading “Rapping In Cardiff: 4 (Mad Punk Ranters)”
Rapping In Cardiff: 3
I saw this member of the audience when I went to see some Welsh rappers in Cardiff recently, and I really liked the clothes, the hat and the way they stood. So I had to have a quick scribble. The gig was organised by my fellow artist Unity, who is not only a graffiti artist but also aContinue reading “Rapping In Cardiff: 3”
Rapping In Cardiff: 2
I went to see some Welsh rappers in Cardiff recently, a gig organised by my fellow artist Unity, who is not only a graffiti artist but also a rapper herself. It was pretty dark but that doesn’t put me off having a scribble in my sketchbook. Here’s a dancer and a listener.
Rapping In Cardiff: 1
Husb and I went up to The ‘Diff a couple of weeks ago to see some Welsh Rappers in The Rockin’ Chair Jamaican Bar in Riverside. It was fab. Here’s a sketch at the beginning of the evening, when the DJ was spinning.
