Cafe, Coffee, Scribble…

Popped into my favourite cafe, Waterstones in Swansea, earlier for a coffee and of course, I had to have a scribble. Just a quick one.

Quick Conference Sketch: 3.

Here’s another quick sketch I did at the conference I went to last week. It was quite a relaxed event and this guy across the room was very laid back in his chair. I used a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen (Sepia, size S) into my small leatherbound sketchbook.

Quick Conference Sketch: 2

I was at a conference over last weekend. It was a good one, not one of the boring, meaningless jollies I remember from my younger working days.

The type is old, wooden, vintage and some possibly antique and I’m not familiar enough with it yet to be able to tell what condition it’s in until I’ve printed it. ThisContinue reading “A Rub-Down With Wire Wool.”

Epic Fail!

Sometimes things go wrong and I had an epic fail a few days ago when I was working on a new Letterpress piece at Swansea Print Workshop.
