A couple of years ago I visited Berlin during one of the worst winters we’ve had in a long time. Of course, while Britain more or less shut down at the sight of snow, the German’s just threw more clothes on, gritted the roads and pavements and carried on. The temperature was awful – theContinue reading “Freezing In Berlin: Dots On Film”

The Artist Speaks And Wales Wins
Above: Scribbled heads and notes on installing artworks in a three dimensional space and how it alters them. Husb and I visited the Keith Bayliss exhibition at the Mission Gallery again today for a talk by the artist. It was a good opportunity to scribble plenty of faces as well as to listen to aContinue reading “The Artist Speaks And Wales Wins”
Cat Goddess At The Old Museum
Babysitting again today so took my young nephew to Swansea Museum, the one that the poet Dylan Thomas described as ‘the museum that should be in a museum’ because it’s such a quintessentially Victorian museum, so very typical of its era. We went up to the Egyptology exhibit, because small children seem to be fascinatedContinue reading “Cat Goddess At The Old Museum”
Silent Heads And A Silent Movie
Didn’t get a chance to blog yesterday because after the studio, I went with Husb to Cardiff for a seminar on social networking research. Interesting data, surprising how YouTube is far more popular than Twitter in Wales. Seminars and conferences are great places for head studies, because people tend to be very still andContinue reading “Silent Heads And A Silent Movie”
Curry, Faggots And Mushy Peas
We have a regular babysitting slot looking after one of our great-nieces after school each Monday and this week she had a treat, dinner at The Vojon, our local curry-house [for fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, that’s just one letter away from the worst poets in the Universe]. I sketched usContinue reading “Curry, Faggots And Mushy Peas”
A Jar A Cat And Tasmanian Sleep Balm
I drew a still-life yesterday and I thought I’d continue the theme for a while. Almost all my work is based on the human form so it’s a bit of a challenge for me to do something else and the still-life genre is an historical one and it’s good to keep up traditions, in myContinue reading “A Jar A Cat And Tasmanian Sleep Balm”
Two Jugs And A Sugar Bowl
Does what it says on the tin, really. Didn’t have anything interesting to draw today as I spent most of it down at the Print Workshop, printing up a block print and a drypoint and I forgot to take photos of what I did to blog. So I grabbed these and stuck them on aContinue reading “Two Jugs And A Sugar Bowl”
Sprogs, Sculptures And Sketchbooks
I babysat three young relatives today and I’m absolutely shattered. How do parents cope? Kudos, parents. I took them to see Keith Bayliss’ exhibition, The Enclosed Garden, at Mission Gallery. After I threatened them and they stopped running round and being loud, we all settled into the lovely contemplative ambience of the exhibition and absorbedContinue reading “Sprogs, Sculptures And Sketchbooks”
Gallery, Students, Tip.
I had a very bitty day today and it wasn’t satisfying at all. Started off with admin and stuff to do on the computer, took AGES to book some train tickets online. It would have been quicker to walk to the station and back again! Then Husb and I took a load of rubbleContinue reading “Gallery, Students, Tip.”
Mens’ Heads And Scary Harry Potter
Went to the cinema this evening to see The Artist but because of the daft queueing system, by the time we got to the front, the film had already started so we decided to see The Woman In Black. Now, I’m not a big fan of horror films, but it’s Harry Potter right? Couldn’t beContinue reading “Mens’ Heads And Scary Harry Potter”
