Big baggy pants at a gig last week. Husb and I had a hectic week, a social whirl! I had a week off work so I made the most of it. Which gig was this? Ummm. Oh yeah, funky rap at Elysium.

The Gig In The Church
Husb and I went to an unusual place for a gig on Friday night, a church! Llangiwg Church is a fascinating place, very ancient with a huge yew tree alongside, which indicated it may be built on an earlier Celtic holy site. There’s also a stone-lined healing / holy well in the grounds and spectacularContinue reading “The Gig In The Church”
Another Gig Scribble…
Let’s be honest, I go to a lot of gigs. And I always carry a sketchbook. So I do a lot of gig scribbling…or is that scrib giggling…or gib scriggling? Maybe I should get a good night’s sleep 😀

For many years, the National Eisteddfod of Wales erected a stone circle in each town or city in which the event took place (it moves yearly), but they’re expensive so for the past couple of decades,Continue reading “A Century Of The Gorsedd Stone Circle”
Advanced Scribbling
I did a very quick scribble of a building when I was out and about a few weeks ago, just a few minutes to capture the outline and some key features. Today I spent a little while working into it, making a range of marks with a ballpoint pen. I find that mark-making is veryContinue reading “Advanced Scribbling”
Continuous Line…
Saw these two chatting in the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery the other day so I scribbled them! I used a continuous line technique which I find easier for working out perspective and scale. I used a black ballpoint pen into my A5 cloth-bound sketchbook.
Sketchbook Archives: 37
Some scribbles out and about in January 2014. The colourful image bottom right is a reworking of an earlier sketch, I redrew it onto a digital transfer print.
More Gallery Bonces…
