It’s the Summer Exhibition at Queen Street Gallery in Neath this month, and I have five screenprints in the show. These small unique screenprints are based on drawings I did from the Swansea Museum archives – taxidermy birds and invertebrates. I also included some imagery based on rubbish – the sort that ends up inContinue reading

Let The Train Take The Strain.

One of my Mari Lwyd linocuts (detail below) features in the current exhibition at the Queen Street Gallery in Neath. The gallery is lovely and Neath is a great little town with a good market, an ancient standing stone, a Roman fort, a Medieval castle, and some tasty eateries. The Gallery is just a fewContinue reading “Let The Train Take The Strain.”

Three Places At Once!

I’m really chuffed that I currently have screenprints in three group exhibitions across South Wales, in Aberdare, Neath and Swansea. “Women & The Valleys” in the Cynon Valley Museum and Gallery runs until March 30th – Aberdare is a great town for a day out. “Miners Imprint” at Queen Street Gallery is open until MarchContinue reading “Three Places At Once!”

Sketchbook Archives: 28

Looking through old sketchbooks from June 2013, I found these from a visit to Aberdulais Falls, near Neath. It’s a National Trust property and very scenic, it was once painted by none other than the great Joseph Mallord William Turner in 1795, although the industrial heritage goes back to 1584. I was going through aContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 28”

The Speaking Stone

Out drawing megaliths last week and the last Neolithic stone of the day is another in an urban setting, ‘Carreg Hir’ (Long Stone) also called the ‘Penrhiwtyn’ stone in the playground of Cwrt Sart comprehensive school in Briton Ferry, Neath. It’s a magnificent menhir, over 9 feet tall but it has a controversial history withContinue reading “The Speaking Stone”

Partied Out Part 2

Back on Saturday night, after seeing the fabulous Bourgeois and Maurice in Neath, we decamped to a pub I hadn’t been in since the mid-’70’s. It’s one of those old heavy metal rock pubs, really dark and grimy with ripped seats, and walls and floors stained by the abuses of many generations of rock fans.Continue reading “Partied Out Part 2”
