Pants!

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”

#Caturday Saturday

Aaaaaand it’s that time of the week again, when the world puts their cats on show. I started sketching Sparta Puss earlier, when she was asleep, then she woke up and walked away. She’s a tortoiseshell, or maybe a calico, but mostly black with flashes of ginger and white socks. Adorable.

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 😀

The Way They Use Their Legs

I was scribbling at a gig again last week, at Elysium for The Krakens and Celtic Vagabond (just missed Whilbur unfortunately). The venue is great for live music AND exhibitions. I saw these two guys standing near each other, but the way they used their legs was very different. So I scribbled ’em!

A Century Of The Gorsedd Stone Circle

Husb and I went to Singleton Park today to the celebration of the centenary of Swansea’s Gorsedd Stone Circle. 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”

Sketchbook Archives: 38

Back to January 2014 for my archives this week, and I did a lot of animal drawings. That’s unusual for me, unless it’s cats and the occasional bird. I don’t normally draw other critters. This was a public drawing event, I like to stick newspapers to walls and draw on them with charcoal. My hairContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 38”
