I went to our local college the other evening, to see my young nephew perform in his first gig. It was an assessment really, but friends and relatives were welcome to come along. It was a good chance to scribble people playing musical instruments, which I find quite hard. This guitarist was sitting down soContinue reading “Drawing Musicians 3.”

#StandingStoneSunday 11.
It’s #StandingStoneSunday again on social media and here’s one in Swansea, in a suburb called Bonymaen. You can read more about it here. I drew it on my adventures with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams a few years back, in the days before the Covid lockdown. All the megaliths on our travels are connectedContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 11.”
Drawing Musicians 2
My great nephew performed in his first college concert yesterday, so I went along to listen and scribble. It’s so good to see the next generation of musicians coming through, all teenagers and all obviously totally committed to their craft. Coincidentally the performance arts campus is my old school, Llwyn y Bryn. I hadn’t beenContinue reading “Drawing Musicians 2”
Drawing Musicians 1
I went to see my young nephew play in his first college concert this evening. He’s studying for Level 3 Music Performance and the students have been put into bands and they had to write some original songs and perform them. It was lovely seeing …. and hearing …. so many talented young people. OfContinue reading “Drawing Musicians 1”
#StandingStoneSunday 10.
It’s #StandingStoneSunday once again and here’s another fine monument I drew on my adventures with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams. It’s called Ty’n Y Selar and it’s near the M4 motorway. There are a few different ways of spelling it in Cymru, it’s Samson’s Stone in English, here’s a link about it.
Balloons!
Went to a birthday party over the weekend and scribbled some kids playing with balloons. No X Boxes, no smart phones, no expensive toys. Just some balloons. What joy. They move fast, kids do, so it was good practice to sketch them.
Hanging In The Hangar.
I drew these characters the other night, when Husb and I went to Hangar 18 at the weekend to see an alien band called Henge. I like sketching in public, drawing people in their wild state 😀
The Cosmic Alien.
Husb and I went to Hangar 18 at the weekend to see an alien band called Henge. They were brilliant – sort of cosmic psychedelic high energy rave-rock with a big dollop of humour. I did a scribble of the lead singer. I’m loving getting back to going to gigs, I realise how much IContinue reading “The Cosmic Alien.”
#StandingStoneSunday 9
It’s #StandingStoneSunday again and here’s another of the glorious monuments I drew while I was out and about with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and film maker Melvyn Williams, hunting Welsh megaliths. This day, we stayed close to home and started out by visiting the local Dylan Thomas comprehensive school, where there is a fine Bronze Age standingContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 9”
You Ain’t Seen Ruthin Yet!
I have some of my printmaking in a group exhibition opening tomorrow at The Print Studio in Ruthin. My monotype about the bedroom tax, based on an original sketchbook drawing at a demonstration, is part of the main show and I have a selection of lino prints in the browser. So, if you fancy aContinue reading “You Ain’t Seen Ruthin Yet!”
