About 5 years ago I got together with a group of other artist printmakers for an art in the street event called Troublemakers, in central Swansea. We went up and down the street inking up manhole and stopcock covers – street metal – and taking prints from them. You can see more in the videoContinue reading “The Plebeian Printmakers Revisited…with video”

Scribbling Outside A Cafe
Husb and I were getting a bit stir crazy working from home so went out for a cold drink this evening and sat outside a nice cafe bar for a little while. I had to have a scribble of course. The main thing about these little sketchbook drawings is not to get a perfect representationContinue reading “Scribbling Outside A Cafe”
The Soundtrack To My Life.
Husb and I went to a gig in Singleton Park Friday night. We bought the tickets for Nile Rodgers and Chic‘s world tour before the Covid epidemic and waited for two years for it to be rescheduled. It was amazing. Nile is such a brilliant musician and so prolific, he’s provided the soundtrack to myContinue reading “The Soundtrack To My Life.”
Wrestling Paper With A Wild Pony
They don’t know much about art, but they know what they like. My lunchbox! When I was drawing my way through South Wales with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, we often had animals hanging out with us, Welsh ponies and sheep mainly, looking for a chance to raid our lunchboxes! Here’s a veryContinue reading “Wrestling Paper With A Wild Pony”
Going For It!
Husb and I went to The Elysium last night to watch a live band. They got the crowd going! A covers band, Soulskunks, mainly ska and a bit of reggae. I had to have a scribble of course. People were dancing fast so it was a bit of a challenge. Raising Funds. My family isContinue reading “Going For It!”
#Caturday Archives
It’s Saturday so it’s #Caturday on many social media platforms. I’ve got cat sketches going back years and years so I thought I’d dig them out and do a regular Saturday / Caturday archive. The scribbles above are of my friend’s late kitty, Scooter, and below is mine and Husb’s late legend Ming The Merciless.Continue reading “#Caturday Archives”
Sunning In The Park.
Husb and I went to Mumbles this evening, for the opening of a new exhibition at Tides Gallery. It was lovely, it spilt out into the Ponderosa Bar next door and Elwyn’s Bar just along the street. Then it spilt out across the road to the little park where Ian Thomas played an acoustic set.Continue reading “Sunning In The Park.”
Playing Around.
I take my art very seriously and I rarely relax and play around with it. I’m trying to be a bit freer, so this evening I had a play with a charcoal drawing I did way back in early lockdown – seems like so long ago now. I uploaded the drawing into Adobe Photoshop andContinue reading “Playing Around.”
#StandingStoneSunday 1.
There’s such a thing as Standing Stone Sunday over on Twitter so I’m posting a drawing and video from my travels with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams a few years back. We tracked many of the Neolithic and Bronze Age standing stones across South Wales as Dewi was researching for his new bookContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 1.”
Scribbling In A Heatwave.
Husb and I ventured out into the blistering heat later this afternoon, strolled into town and called into the cafe by the new park for a cool drink. There was a family playing ping pong so I had a quick scribble en plein air. Very quick, just enough to sketch out the basic components ofContinue reading “Scribbling In A Heatwave.”
