I scribbled this little one hard at work creating a collage at GS Artists last Friday. The group was inspired by an exhibition supporting a new book by Catrin Saran James, “Modernist Swansea”. In the background is a quilt based on some iconic tile designs around the city centre, sadly disappearing, by local artist LauraContinue reading “Modernists At The Gallery.”

Kitty Print Experiments.
I’m experimenting with making my own stamps from Toyobo photopolymer letterpress plates. I had a try the other week with a different make, which didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped, but this material is much better, much crisper with more detail. I tried out three exposure and three curing times and then printedContinue reading “Kitty Print Experiments.”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a blast from the past, Sparta Puss back in 2016. She has a range of expressions but this sulky, slightly annoyed one is a favourite of hers.
Scribbling, Visiting And Bara Brith.
I dropped by GS Artists on High Street this afternoon. It’s a fab gallery and community artspace and every Friday afternoon there’s the 9 to 90 Creative Community art club, with different art activities each week. Of course I had to have a scribble! Then I went home and made some Bara Brith after tea.Continue reading “Scribbling, Visiting And Bara Brith.”
The Fiddler.
Another sketchbook drawing from the lovely gig at Elysium on Saint David’s Day. Singer, composer, musician Angharad Jenkins thrilled us with her wonderful set. I had to have a scribble, of course, but haven’t done her justice. It’s not easy drawing people moving around a lot, but it’s really good practice.
Dydd Gwŷl Dewi Sant Hapus.
Happy Saint David’s Day. Husb and I went to a celebration of Welsh culture at Elysium this evening, with poetry and music and song, Welsh Cakes and Cawl Cennen a Thatws (Leek and Potato Soup). Of course I had to have a scribble, of talented young pianist Eddie Gripper.

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and here’s a drawing from ages ago when I was still using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens. I don’t really know why I stopped, I generally use ballpoint pen now in my sketchbooks. I was chilling one evening with Sparta Puss stretched out on my lap, wearing some snazzy leggingsContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 16”
More Sketchbook Figures
Just a couple of people standing around at the gallery the other evening. I scribbled them with a ballpoint pen into my A5 leather-bound sketchbook.
Scribbling At An Exhibition.
Husb and I went to the opening of an exhibition of glorious collaborative prints by Welsh artist Sarah Hopkins and Pakistani artist Muhammad Atif Khan at Studio Griffith in the Dynefor campus at University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids, SA1 3EU. And that’s a pretty big opening sentence! The show is called Diptych and runsContinue reading “Scribbling At An Exhibition.”
