#Caturday Archives: 26

Here’s a drawing from June 2014, when Husb and I visited the Belvedere Gallery in Vienna. I saw this wonderful sculpture of a cat by Franz Barwig and scribbled it.

Some Historic Masking…

This is from my archives, March 2014 and Husb and I were invited to a party where people were asked to wear masks representing an artist or art work. I bought some cheap masks from the kids’ section in a supermarket and got to work with some acrylic paints. Husb did his with felt-tip pens.Continue reading “Some Historic Masking…”

Sketchbook Archives: 40

Technically, not sketchbooks, they’re paintings, although they started out as sketches so I’m stretching it a bit 😀 I made these paintings of fellow Swansea artists between March and May 2014, and in between I spent April on an artist residency in Pakistan. They were exhibited in the Fringe Arts Bath festival later that year.Continue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 40”

Here’s a digital drawing of Sparta Puss from May 2014, when she was coming up to 5 years old. The nice thing about sketching on my Galaxy Tablet Note 8 is that I could hit the “save” button regularly and make a record of the stages of the drawing. I used a Markers free appContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 25”

#Caturday Archives: 24

It’s such a long time ago now, that I did a month-long artist residency in Pakistan, it was wonderful. And I met a Pakistani cat called Messi. So I drew him. I was going through a digital drawing phase at the time, using a free Markers app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Back about a decade ago I went through a phase of drawing on a Galaxy Tablet using a free “Markers” app. This is a digital sketch of a young Sparta, she was about 4 and a half years old here. She’s 16 this Autumn.

Mari Lwyd On Fire!

I went to my first pyrography training yesterday and I tried out the technique with one of my Mari Lwyd drawings. It took some getting used to, I made a lot of smoke! But I got the hang of it eventually and started to enjoy it. The technique shows a lot of promise and IContinue reading “Mari Lwyd On Fire!”

#Caturday Archives: 22

Here’s a very old sketch of the late, great Bobbit. We had her as a kitten of 8 weeks way back in the summer of 1994, and this sketch is from 2011, when she was enjoying the sun by dozing in a drain! She died a few weeks later aged 17, enjoying the sunshine andContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 22”

#Caturday Archives: 21

Here’s a blast from the past for this week’s #Caturday Saturday, from 2011. Husb and I had two naughty torties, Bobbit and Ming. They hated each other but had to learn to live together for many years. I drew this just a few weeks before Bobbit died, of very old age. She was very poorlyContinue reading “#Caturday Archives: 21”

An Interesting Crowd.

I did loads of sketches at the Elysium gig last week, it was an interesting crowd. This guy had a big, quite fancy leather jacket on and he was taking photos with and SLR camera so he was hunched over a lot. I really liked the pose.
