This is NOT PPE!

I’m finally getting to grips with the lino blocks of text I started back at the beginning of lockdown 2020. I’m making mask shapes out of cotton and printing them with the words and phrases I carved into lino, reflecting my feelings and observations over the period. But these are not masks. They are NOTContinue reading “This is NOT PPE!”

#Caturday Archives 18

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a drawing from my sketch archives, I guess about 7 or 8 years ago. I had a very comfy Ikea Poang chair at the time but Sparta Puss liked it as much as I did. Guess who won out on this particular evening? I drew into my sketchbook withContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 18”

Modernists At The Gallery.

I scribbled this little one hard at work creating a collage at GS Artists last Friday. The group was inspired by an exhibition supporting a new book by Catrin Saran James, “Modernist Swansea”. In the background is a quilt based on some iconic tile designs around the city centre, sadly disappearing, by local artist LauraContinue reading “Modernists At The Gallery.”

Done At Last.

I’ve finished my painting of two siblings on the beach at night watching the bioluminescence. It’s been a long haul. I don’t often work from photographs and I don’t find it easy, I prefer to work from life, but this was a good exercise. I did a lot of the painting upside down – theContinue reading “Done At Last.”

Kitty Print Experiments.

I’m experimenting with making my own stamps from Toyobo photopolymer letterpress plates. I had a try the other week with a different make, which didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped, but this material is much better, much crisper with more detail. I tried out three exposure and three curing times and then printedContinue reading “Kitty Print Experiments.”

#Caturday Archives 17

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a blast from the past, Sparta Puss back in 2016. She has a range of expressions but this sulky, slightly annoyed one is a favourite of hers.

Scribbling, Visiting And Bara Brith.

I dropped by GS Artists on High Street this afternoon. It’s a fab gallery and community artspace and every Friday afternoon there’s the 9 to 90 Creative Community art club, with different art activities each week. Of course I had to have a scribble! Then I went home and made some Bara Brith after tea.Continue reading “Scribbling, Visiting And Bara Brith.”
