Here’s another drawing I did last weekend at a poetry fundraiser for Harry’s Fund at Elysium. This woman was sitting in a squished way so was very interesting to draw. It took a while to get it right. I used the continuous line method but kept stopping to look because her angles didn’t seem quiteContinue reading “Squished Scribble.”

Poetry, Fundraising and Swansea Market.
I went to a poetry reading at Elysium the other day. It’s not like me, I’m not usually a fan of poetry. But these were by local poet David Hughes and I really like his work. It isn’t pretentious and bourgeois, it’s down to earth, relatable and often fun. The poems were performed by aContinue reading “Poetry, Fundraising and Swansea Market.”
Fun With The Family
Husb and I took two young relatives to the Glynn Vivian art gallery in Swansea today. Every Saturday there’s a free, family-friendly art session with a resident artist who encourages people to draw and paint, inspired by artists in the gallery collection. This week focused on the artist Ceri Richards and the poet Vernon Watkins.Continue reading “Fun With The Family”
It’s What I Do
So as the extraordinary art festival ‘Now The Hero / Nawr Yr Arwr’ ended last weekend, we had a few days to draw breath before the Swansea Fringe started on Thursday with an evening of cracking poetry at Unit Niniteen from Holly McNish, Claire E. Potter and Tongwynlais’ own Unity. So of courseContinue reading “It’s What I Do”
To Stand And Stare…..
I’m having fun doing digital drawings of people with their heads thrown back; today a sunny little one, another ginger, who was gazing at clouds. Ah, I remember doing that when I was little. It brings to mind the poem “Leisure” by Welsh poet W. H. Davies ….. What is this life if, fullContinue reading “To Stand And Stare…..”
The Airhead In A Spotted Knitted Coat
So when I go to a gig, I go to listen and enjoy and maybe have a bit of a dance (although a lot of people don’t think that headbanging is dancing) and I assume that other people are there for the same reason, so it really narks me when you get some airhead whoContinue reading “The Airhead In A Spotted Knitted Coat”
Drawing To A Rhythm
I was at the launch of Rufus Mufasa’s album in Cardiff and having a scribble when I found that I was making marks to the rapping. I often listen to rock music when I’m working but I’ve never noticed my drawing being affected. Mind you, there’s a bit of a difference between rap and progContinue reading “Drawing To A Rhythm”
On A Roll
Sometimes I struggle to pull out my sketchbook and do a scribble every day, other times I’m on a roll, like I was the other night when Husb and I went to The Moon in Cardiff for an evening of rap, hip hop, beatbox, poetry and more at the launch of Rufus Mufasa‘sContinue reading “On A Roll”
Sketching And Stretching
I was scribbling in the dark at a venue called The Moon in Cardiff last week at an evening of performers of words and music gathered there by Rufus Mufasa at the launch of her album. Of course I had to have a scribble….. Here’s Beatbox Tangent who was moving so fast that a lot of theContinue reading “Sketching And Stretching”
The Hairiest Man
Another drawing from the Cardiff gig last week, the launch of Rufus Mufasa’s album, “Fur Coats From The Lion’s Den”. This is Steve Andrews, possibly the hairiest man I’ve ever seen and also a fantastic musician.
