Leaning…

Here’s another of my quick gig scribbles, this guy was sitting and leaning his arm against a pillar, while his other arm leant against the bar. I used the continuous line technique which helped to establish the proportions between the chair and the two people.

Overlaying Scribbles.

Out at Elysium a few nights ago (such a gadabout!) and I was having a scribble while listening to some funky rap. I was trying to draw a crowd scene but people kept moving around. HOW VERY DARE THEY?! So rather than start new drawings, I just overlaid them on top of one another. IContinue reading “Overlaying Scribbles.”

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”

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!

Y Pregethwyr / The Preacher

I was off gallivanting at a gig (no surprises there) the other week and had a quick scribble as I listened to a solo musician called Y Pregethwr (The Preacher) who played an extraordinary, haunting and avant garde set.

Gallivanting!

My beloved Nana and family and friends of her generation often said “gallivanting”, usually in a slightly critical way, “Are you off gallivanting AGAIN?” It’s a word that I don’t hear so much anymore, so I’m going to use it more often. I was off gallivanting at a gig (no surprises there) the other weekContinue reading “Gallivanting!”

Out Gallivanting – Again

Husb and I were gallivanting again last evening. That’s a great word, my Nana and her generation would use it all the time, but it seems to have fallen out of use. I think it’s time it came back. Anyway, we were out gallivanting at a gig, so I had to have a scribble, didn’tContinue reading “Out Gallivanting – Again”
