The last sketch and last hat from the Imbolc gig. There seems to be a trend for hatted performers at the moment for some reason. This is a fine bit of headgear and thankfully this musician isn’t bearded or bespectacled so he was a bit easier to draw.

Short Pants, Long Pants.
Husb and I went to a gig at Elysium on Samhain a few days ago, a mixture of performers, folk and metal, with a pagan theme. When I go to gigs, I often draw legs in the audience and I did at this one. Then it occurred to me that everyone was wearing long trousers.Continue reading “Short Pants, Long Pants.”
The Samhain Mask.
Husb and I went to a fab gig at Elysium last Friday. It was Samhain and we listened to a great line up of pagan-ish music. This guitarist with the most excellent band Adfeilion was wearing a terrific, and terrifying, animal skull mask. Of course I had to have a scribble. Adfeilion is a youngContinue reading “The Samhain Mask.”
Warming Up At The Gig.
Husb and I were at a gig at Elysium last night, an evening of pagan folk, rock and metal. Lovely. I had a scribble of course. I usually start by doing some quick sketches of the audience to warm up.

This was a very striking woman in the audience at one of the music events at the recent Swansea Fringe, but because she was quite still, I worked too slowly and lost the spontaneity ofContinue reading “Trying Too Hard…”

When I go into a venue to draw at a gig, I usually start off by scribbling a few quick sketches. It wakes up my muscle memory and I can check if I feel comfortable drawing in that position – is there enough space or am I being jostled? Is there somewhere to rest myContinue reading “The Quick Scribbles: 1”
The Happy Imbiber.
Here’s a very happy chap at one of the Swansea Fringe gigs at Hangar 18, He was dancing very energetically but never spilled his pint! Kudos.
The Psychedelic T-Shirt.
I was sketching at Hippos on Swansea’s High Street on Friday, part of the Swansea Fringe, and I spotted this fabulous t-shirt on one of the musicians in King Goon. I scribbled with a ballpoint pen and Inktense blocks.
The Enthusiastic Rocker.
I was sketching at Swansea Fringe this last weekend, and I spotted this guy in the audience at the rock gig at Hangar 18. He was loving it (so was I) and I had a quick scribble.
A Year Gone Already?!
Suddenly a year has gone by and the Swansea Fringe is upon us again! I’ve been sketching last night and this at some of the Rock venues. I’m tired now! All rocked out! More to come…
