My first blog post in Pakistan just had to be a kitteh. This is Messi who is named after Lionel Messi, the Argentinian footballer who plays for Barcelona. Messi lives in the house where I’m staying. There is also a printmaking studio with accommodation attached for the artists in residence. Yesterday was spent recovering fromContinue reading “Messi Moggy”

Sleeping Fox
Bogged down in admin most of the day. Planning something big and the next 2 days are crucial. If it comes off, I can reveal all by the end of the week! Meanwhile, it’s hard to find the time to do anything creative so I’m keeping on with the practice drawings on my Samsung GalaxyContinue reading “Sleeping Fox”
Fluffy Scribbles
I’m sitting in bed, it’s quite early. The storm is still raging outside and Little Ming is cwtched up next to me, so I grabbed my Tablet and tried out a few scribbles using the Magic Marker app. It’s convenient for practicing something like fur because I don’t have to faff around with different colouredContinue reading “Fluffy Scribbles”
Nadolig Llawen
Here’s one of Husb’s drawings for a change. He caught Sparta Puss beautifully in this digital drawing. I played with it in Adobe Photoshop to make it Chrismassy. So Nadolig Llawen to everyone (that’s Merry Xmas in Welsh / Cymraeg).
Spartypants And The Idiots
Greetings hairless apes. Sparta Puss here. The bald monkeys have been rushing around like idiots for the past few days. They say they’re on holiday but then they go and do loads of D.I.Y. which is hard work, stressful and they are grumpy all the time. But what do I care? I don’t have toContinue reading “Spartypants And The Idiots”
In Dylan’s Park
Had a lovely day, first at Uplands Outdoor Market, bought loads of wonderful local produce and some hand-made Xmas presents – result! Then picked up the little nephew and went to ‘A Child’s Mystical Xmas’ in Cwmdonkin Park. It’s just around the corner from where Dylan Thomas grew up and he played in it throughoutContinue reading “In Dylan’s Park”
12 Down, 8 To Go
I’m working flat out to complete a suite of 20 new works for my upcoming group exhibition. I’m drawing in ink onto ‘transfer’ prints on art papers, Bockingford and BFK Rives, 250gsm. The transfer prints started out as digital photos I’ve taken over the years, printed onto ordinary inkjet paper, placed face down onto artContinue reading “12 Down, 8 To Go”
Chunky Cat In Motion
Greetings hairless apes. Sparta Puss here. It’s been a while. I’ve been busy, y’know, eating, sleeping, fleecing elderly humans of their winter heating allowance, sleeping, murdering rodents, sleeping, a bit more sleeping…….the usual. This evening I amused myself with a rubber band. The she-monkey was throwing it around for me. She says I’m getting chunky.Continue reading “Chunky Cat In Motion”
The Baleful Look
What a day! One of those when everything that can go wrong, did. I was hoping to get cracking on some design work first thing but ended up making a start at 3pm! Never mind, I managed to get quite a bit done in the end. It’s pretty boring stuff done on a *gasp* lightbox!Continue reading “The Baleful Look”
Drawing In The Dark……
……. and some cupcakes! I’m a bit out of practice with my sketchbook work, I’ve not really felt like doing any drawing while I had that awful stomach bug earlier in the week and yesterday I spent catching up on getting ready for exhibitions and admin and stuff like that. Today Husb and I spentContinue reading “Drawing In The Dark……”
