This is the eleventh of my “Up Yer Nose” series of digital drawings. I start by taking a digital photo of my victims …. er …. volunteers …. then I look at the photo on my phone, resting on my knee, while I draw freehand into my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 using a free MarkersContinue reading “Resting On My Knee”

Daisy Dawg
Greetings apes. Sparta Puss here. The she-monkey that I share my house with has been cheating on me with a dog called Daisy. A DOG! They’re as smelly as apes and even more stupid.
The Laughing Squirrel
Hello Bald Apes. Sparta Puss here. Those lazy trained monkeys of mine have left the pooter box alone AGAIN. They’re too busy watching the noisybox in the corner with stuff running around inside it. Sometimes there are squirrels inside the noisybox. I like that, but by the time I get around to taking aContinue reading “The Laughing Squirrel”
Up Yer Furry Nose
Greetings Hairless Apes. Sparta Puss here. My trained monkeys have left the pooter box unattended so I thought I’d give you the benefit of my wisdom. Even though I know it won’t be of much use, you’re just a bunch of simians, after all. The idiot she-monkey, the one who does the scribbling, has beenContinue reading “Up Yer Furry Nose”
A Fleeting Moment
Our facial expressions are generally made up of continuous movements and a photograph captures just one fleeting moment amongst many. So when you base a drawing on a photograph, the image might look a bit odd, or not like the person normally looks. I’m pushing this by taking photos of people with their heads thrownContinue reading “A Fleeting Moment”
Different Techniques
Sometimes I like to take images through into different techniques. I’ve recently been doing digital drawings from digital photographs I took up people’s noses and from one of those drawings I’ve done a monotype over this weekend. So, from a digital photograph to a digital drawing to a full-colour monotype. What next? Shall I tryContinue reading “Different Techniques”
Smiley Lips
It’s getting hard to find new titles for my “Up Yer Nose” series of digital drawings. This is my eighth volunteer who was snapped at the opening of an art exhibition a couple of weeks ago. My style is evolving; the first I did was much more like a conventional drawing but they’ve quickly developedContinue reading “Smiley Lips”
A Big Ginger Pollock
Back to the ‘up-yer-nose’ digital drawings and here’s someone with a great big ginger beard. Magnificent. The chickens are part of the wallpaper. They don’t live on his head. I drew onto my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free Markers app, laying on a beige ground to start with then building up layersContinue reading “A Big Ginger Pollock”
The Birthday Girl
This evening we celebrated the birthday of a young relative. It was lovely. She volunteered to pose for one of my ‘up-your-nose’ digital drawings. Times like this remind me that, once basic needs are covered, the most important things in life are family and friends. Not fancy schmancy houses or luxury cars, but the peopleContinue reading “The Birthday Girl”
To Stand And Stare…..
I’m having fun doing digital drawings of people with their heads thrown back; today a sunny little one, another ginger, who was gazing at clouds. Ah, I remember doing that when I was little. It brings to mind the poem “Leisure” by Welsh poet W. H. Davies ….. What is this life if, fullContinue reading “To Stand And Stare…..”
