Still nursing the lurgi this morning so I was sat with my legs up on a footstool wearing my cool Magnum HiTec boots. Sparta Psychokitteh came along and stretched herself on top of my snazzy leggings. I’m a scribbler. So I scribbled her. As I was drawing, I drifted off into ‘the zone’. This sortContinue reading “Puss ‘n’ Boots”

Glamping?!?!
I heard a new word yesterday. ‘Glamping’. It means upmarket camping. You know, for the sort of (rich) person who goes to a Festival without their own tent because they’ve booked a luxury Yurt with inflatable beds and hand-stitched Mongolian throws, embroidered floor cushions and artisanal hookahs with an ensuite chemical toilet. Pansies! I’m aContinue reading “Glamping?!?!”
Helping The Monkey
Greetings bald apes. Sparta the psycho-kitteh here. I’ve been helping the furless she-monkey tonight. She likes to make marks on paper with coloured dirt. I don’t know why. She could be doing something more useful, like licking me clean or hunting rats. I’d do much more interesting things if I had opposable thumbs. I’ll neverContinue reading “Helping The Monkey”
SOLD! Whoohoo!
Yesterday evening was the launch of the 15 Hundred Lives group show which features 14 of my monotypes and some of my sketchbooks. I was lucky enough to sell one. WOOHOO!!!! It’s called AlCefn and it’s a large monotype, about 50 x 80 cms which started out as a life drawing in chalk and charcoalContinue reading “SOLD! Whoohoo!”
The Old Rocker
Feeling better day by day and went out for lunch with Husb to a local cafe, which does really nice home made food. I looked around for someone to scribble and saw this very elderly man, in his eighties, dining with some friends. His hair, although thin, was down almost to his shoulders and overContinue reading “The Old Rocker”
The Hunter
Another dead rat in the hallway this evening and one very proud psycho-kitteh strutting around, well pleased with herself. We’ve had a spate of dead rats in recent weeks, some of them quite large and we found out last week where they’re coming from – our compost bin. Husb noticed that our kitchen waste wasContinue reading “The Hunter”
Waiting And Brownies
It’s cold and sunny and I’m feeling well enough to go out for an hour or so as long as I don’t overdo it so today I popped down to County Hall to renew our parking permit. I spotted these ladies opposite while I was waiting. They had very similar distinctive noses and chins andContinue reading “Waiting And Brownies”
Cat And The Pencil Museum
Still wrapped up in a blankie indoors getting more and more fed up, which probably means I’m on the mend. I’m fed up drawing the cats and fed up with my drawing pens so I had a scribble with Ming The Merciless into a larger A3 sketchbook and used some Derwent Academy watercolour pencils forContinue reading “Cat And The Pencil Museum”
More Old Life
The dreaded lurgi is getting a little bit better each day but I’m still finding it hard to do much and that includes drawing. My brain’s like mush and doesn’t want to tell my hands what to do, so I’ve been searching through my old sketchbooks to blog some blasts from the past. About 5Continue reading “More Old Life”
Old Life
This horrible lurgi has lasted so long that I’ve missed three weekly life drawing sessions at Swansea Print Workshop. I’ve been cataloguing old work and coming across stuff I’d forgotten about. I went through a phase of drawing with oil pastels into A3 canvas pads, mainly because I’d been given canvas pads for a present.Continue reading “Old Life”
