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”
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”
Little Hairy Poser
Just time for a quick scribble in my sketchbook this evening. This is Ming the Merciless, our little hairy cat. She’s sixteen now and sleeps even more than cats normally do, which makes sketching much easier. Mind you, I’ve never met a cat yet that didn’t like to be drawn, they’re such a bunchContinue reading “Little Hairy Poser”
Giving An Impression
Here’s another quick scribble I did at a course I was at the other day. I went to learn the basics of social history recording and found a few minutes to have a scribble. while one of the teachers was explaining something. His hands were very animated and moved constantly, which makes it quiteContinue reading “Giving An Impression”
Face And Foxgloves
I went on a training day in recording social history and of course, I found a few minutes for scribbling. Things like courses and lectures are great because people are so absorbed that they tend to keep fairly still, which is a boon when you’re having a scribble. I also went for a walk toContinue reading “Face And Foxgloves”
The Cross
Here’s the main drawing I did during the weekly life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I like working with this model, there is so much expression in her face so I focused on doing a portrait, working with white, sanguine and black conté crayon into an A3 brown paper sketchbook, which gave me aContinue reading “The Cross”
Life Drawing (Female Nude Study)
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I did a couple of drawings, this is a 10 minute study in white and sanguine conté crayon into an A3 brown paper sketchbook from Seawhites of Brighton. It’s late and I’m going to bed now. Good night zzzzzzzzzzzz
