Husb and I went to a local pub a few days ago to see local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Great gig, thoroughly enjoyed. Of course, I had to have a scribble. I find it very hard to draw guitars, especially when they’re being played and I have to cope with movement and foreshortening. AhContinue reading “That Darn Guitar!”

Snazzy, Stylish and Steampunky.
I did some sketching at the Saint George in Swansea last Friday eve, where Husb and I had a fantastic time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Apart from being superb musicians, they are also very snazzy dressers, a little bit Steampunky with a lot of style. I wish I’d had my coloursContinue reading “Snazzy, Stylish and Steampunky.”
The Tea Chest Bassist.
Just back from the Saint George in Swansea, where Husb and I had a fantastic time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. I’m tired now, so I’ll just post the bass player, he has a proper old-fashioned tea-chest bass. Fabulous.

Seaside Scribbles and Rock Chick hair. Back to my sketchbooks of August 2013 and I seem to have spent a lot of time on Swansea beach, must have been a good summer. I had a long, shaggy, rock chick hairdo at the time. I really like my hair like that, but it’s a bit ofContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 32”

A few more sketches from my “brown paper phase” back in July 2013. It’s ordinary brown wrapping paper stuck into sketchbooks with Pritt stick glue. I should do it again, it’s very effective. Fortes is an ice cream parlour in Limeslade, west Swansea, one of the Welsh Italian ice-cream families.
Sketching In The Park.
Here’s another little sketch from my recent holiday in Yorkshire. Husb and I went for a stroll around Saltaire and stopped for a cuppa – it was unseasonably warm.
Hands And Daffodils.
I haven’t posted on this blog for a few days because Husb and I have been away on holiday, exploring the North of England. We spent a happy few hours in Salts Mill in Saltaire, absorbing the fabulous artwork of David Hockney. There’s also a stunning exhibition of photos by Ian Beesley. We had dinnerContinue reading “Hands And Daffodils.”
Smiles And Scribbles.
Here’s the last of the sketches I made last weekend at the Omnichron gig, a happy audience. It’s nice drawing a group as I can get to practice scale with the different figures there.
A Couple Of Heads.
A couple of scribbled heads from Friday evening, the gig of fabulous local band Omnichron. And I picked the first rhubarb of the season today, loads of it in the garden, it’s been unusually warm lately and I think it’s brought the rhubarb along a bit early.

Heads, Hand and Feet, a selection of sketchbook drawings from way back in July 2013, back before Covid19, remember those days? I went through a phase of sticking brown wrapping paper into my sketchbooks and drawing over it. I can’t remember why I stopped, I really like it. I’m not so keen on drawing ontoContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 30”
