A while back, some years in fact, I made some photoscreens using little annotated drawings from one of my sketchbooks and I printed them up onto really nice Zerkall paper. Unfortunately, I didn’t like them. They didn’t seem, to me, to make the transition from sketch to screenprint. So I stuffed them in a drawContinue reading “Scribbles, Screens And Sketches”

Keep Still!
Why is it that the minute, THE VERY MINUTE, that you start sketching a sleeping cat they fidget??!! We’re just trained monkeys. Nothing more. 😦 A lot of my artwork is available on my Artfinder gallery. If you’d like to have a look, please click on the image below or the Artfinder linkContinue reading “Keep Still!”
Sprawling Teenager
Our great nephew is having a sleepover and is sprawled out in typical teenager style on his own settee with his mobile in his hand. He’s been scribbled. Husb and I went to see the outdoor 20th anniversary screening of the cult film Twin Town last night. It rained. Today I have a heavy coldContinue reading “Sprawling Teenager”
Twin Town
Just back from an outdoor 20th anniversary screening of the cult film, Twin Town, organised by Cinema & Co at Singleton Park in the drizzle. Being Swansea, the rain didn’t deter the thousands who turned up, we’re used to living in cagoules and waterproofs. Of course, I had a scribble into my tiny sketchbook withContinue reading “Twin Town”
A Snippet
I posted a tiny bit of some work I started yesterday and today I took it a stage further. Here’s a little snippet of it but it’s secret at the moment so I can’t say anymore. Meanwhile, tomorrow …….
Sshhh!!!!
I’ve been working flat out on something secret. That’s all I can say but I’ll let you see a tiny snippet of one of my working drawings. This work won’t come to fruition for another year or so and I’m so excited about it. Watch this space……. But in the meanwhile, coming up veryContinue reading “Sshhh!!!!”
Two Birds With One Stone
I managed to kill two birds with one stone this evening, simultaneously doing a sketch for tonight’s blog and reaching Number 94 out of my target of drawing 100 Baby Boomers. Husb and I went to Swansea Storytelling Club and I scribbled while listening to artist and performer David Pitt. David and I haveContinue reading “Two Birds With One Stone”
Mahoosive Manhole
Some manholes are much bigger than others, big enough to get a man down a hole. Here’s one printed by The Plebeian Printmakers the other weekend at the Gwyl Troublemakers Festival. You can get an idea of it’s size by looking at my ridiculous Bagpuss slippers at the bottom. And coming soon toContinue reading “Mahoosive Manhole”
Medieval Manhole
Some manholes are not manholes at all. They’re too small to get a man down. While I was doing some public printmaking with The Plebeian Printmakers a couple of weekends ago, we saw all sorts of manhole covers, big and small and this lovely one was one of the smallest. We were puzzled by itContinue reading “Medieval Manhole”
Mediocre Manhole
Manholes can be quite fancy but some are no-frills and this is one of them. But I like the typography. It’s done in metal. That’s the British Kite Mark on the bottom. I used a blue non-toxic water-based printing ink by Seawhites of Brighton, very economical. No time to rest ….. this is coming upContinue reading “Mediocre Manhole”
