Just back from an awesome gig at Elysium…more on that tomorrow. It was heavy, mostly metal, and there are always plenty of heavy metal legs to scribble.

Petrichor.
After weeks of dry sunshine the weather broke this evening with a spectacular thunderstorm and downpour. There’s a lovely cool and fresh feeling outside and I now have a chance to use the word “petrichor”, which is the smell of the ground immediately after a rainstorm. My garden smells of petrichor and it’s lovely.
A Free Bus Pass.
Now that I’m an Old Git I have a free bus pass, so I used it to go visiting today. I had a bit of time to kill on the return journey so I sat and sketched for a few minutes, I guess about 7 or 8, just enough time to work on some perspectiveContinue reading “A Free Bus Pass.”
A Way With Hats.
I did some sketching at the Saint George in Swansea last Friday eve, where Husb and I had a great time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Apart from being superb musicians, they have a snazzy way with hats.
The Accordion Player.
Here’s another quick little scribble from last weekend’s gig with local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. When I was little I remember my Nana played an accordion but after she died, back in the 1960s, I never saw one played again for many years, but recently I’ve seen a few coming back into play.
That Darn Guitar!
Husb and I went to a local pub a few days ago to see local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Great gig, thoroughly enjoyed. Of course, I had to have a scribble. I find it very hard to draw guitars, especially when they’re being played and I have to cope with movement and foreshortening. AhContinue reading “That Darn Guitar!”
Snazzy, Stylish and Steampunky.
I did some sketching at the Saint George in Swansea last Friday eve, where Husb and I had a fantastic time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Apart from being superb musicians, they are also very snazzy dressers, a little bit Steampunky with a lot of style. I wish I’d had my coloursContinue reading “Snazzy, Stylish and Steampunky.”
The Tea Chest Bassist.
Just back from the Saint George in Swansea, where Husb and I had a fantastic time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. I’m tired now, so I’ll just post the bass player, he has a proper old-fashioned tea-chest bass. Fabulous.

Seaside Scribbles and Rock Chick hair. Back to my sketchbooks of August 2013 and I seem to have spent a lot of time on Swansea beach, must have been a good summer. I had a long, shaggy, rock chick hairdo at the time. I really like my hair like that, but it’s a bit ofContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 32”

A few more sketches from my “brown paper phase” back in July 2013. It’s ordinary brown wrapping paper stuck into sketchbooks with Pritt stick glue. I should do it again, it’s very effective. Fortes is an ice cream parlour in Limeslade, west Swansea, one of the Welsh Italian ice-cream families.
