I spent the afternoon down at Swansea Print Workshop today, doing some fabric printing. It’s rare for me – I’m a paper fiend – but this is for something very specific. I’m printing onto some items of clothing with one of my little Mari Lwyd linocuts.

#Caturday – A Happy Accident.
It’s Saturday #Caturday again! Sparta Puss jumped onto the table opposite me the other day and sat in front of a vase of tulips I treated myself to. They’re in that falling-over stage and when she sat down, she was framed beautifully by their purple flowers in front of olive green curtains. A happy accident.Continue reading “#Caturday – A Happy Accident.”
Exhibition Time!
The drawings I did at the Swansea Fringe at the back end of 2022 are now being exhibited in one of Swansea’s live music venues, The Bunkhouse. It opened tonight, work by 5 artists in the downstairs bar. The top two rows in the photo are my sketches, the two bottom rows are drawings byContinue reading “Exhibition Time!”
It’s Cold!
It’s cold, freezing tonight, but this one is snug and warm indoors. Please look out for your pets in this awful weather and keep them in xxx Here’s Sparta Puss, through a Posterise filter in Adobe Photoshop.
Pictures For An Exhibition.
I did a whole load of drawings at Crowleys Rock Bar in the Swansea Fringe back before Christmas and they’re going to be in an exhibition at another rock music venue, The Bunkhouse, in Swansea! Cool! The drawings are in my sketchbook which I don’t want to dismember, so I scanned and printed a selectionContinue reading “Pictures For An Exhibition.”

It’s #Caturday / Saturday again. Once upon a time, Sparta Puss was a little kitten. A naughty little kitten. And small enough to run up the curtains. One day, I caught her soft-furnishing shenanigans on camera as she clawed her way up and down some voiles with a spiral pattern. I made a series ofContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 15”
It May Be Finished!
I think this little painting may be just about finished. I’ll sleep on it, but I don’t think I’ll be doing much more, maybe a little softening on the arm. I’ve never done anything like this before, working directly from a sketch and splashing paint randomly in layers, scattering rice into pools of watery pigment,Continue reading “It May Be Finished!”
#Caturday Archives 14
I painted this portrait of Sparta Puss way back in lockdown, for my window art gallery. Back then, the speech bubble said “Stay Safe”. I thought I’d update it, painted out the original slogan and painted in Sparta’s support for our nurses, currently striking for fair pay. Throughout the first lockdown, we took to theContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 14”
Mari’s Little Visit.
It’s nearly New Year and the Mari Lwyd is out and about, stalking the land. She comes into her full powers on the night of “Hen Galan”, the “Old” New Year on January 13th, but she’s just having a little visit now to wish you all Blwyddyn Newydd Dda … A Happy New Year.
Recycle, Reuse.
Having a few days off from working on art as it’s holiday season, so I sat down today and caught up with some chores that had been hanging around a while. I sorted some stuff from my wardrobe, old clothes that had been through the smart wear, house wear, garden wear cycle and now needContinue reading “Recycle, Reuse.”
