They don’t know much about art, but they know what they like. My lunchbox! When I was drawing my way through South Wales with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, we often had animals hanging out with us, Welsh ponies and sheep mainly, looking for a chance to raid our lunchboxes! Here’s a veryContinue reading “Wrestling Paper With A Wild Pony”

Going For It!
Husb and I went to The Elysium last night to watch a live band. They got the crowd going! A covers band, Soulskunks, mainly ska and a bit of reggae. I had to have a scribble of course. People were dancing fast so it was a bit of a challenge. Raising Funds. My family isContinue reading “Going For It!”
#Caturday Archives
It’s Saturday so it’s #Caturday on many social media platforms. I’ve got cat sketches going back years and years so I thought I’d dig them out and do a regular Saturday / Caturday archive. The scribbles above are of my friend’s late kitty, Scooter, and below is mine and Husb’s late legend Ming The Merciless.Continue reading “#Caturday Archives”
Sunning In The Park.
Husb and I went to Mumbles this evening, for the opening of a new exhibition at Tides Gallery. It was lovely, it spilt out into the Ponderosa Bar next door and Elwyn’s Bar just along the street. Then it spilt out across the road to the little park where Ian Thomas played an acoustic set.Continue reading “Sunning In The Park.”
Playing Around.
I take my art very seriously and I rarely relax and play around with it. I’m trying to be a bit freer, so this evening I had a play with a charcoal drawing I did way back in early lockdown – seems like so long ago now. I uploaded the drawing into Adobe Photoshop andContinue reading “Playing Around.”
Prepping And Perspiration!
Crikey! This heatwave is getting a bit much. It’s cooler in the house than outside so I’ve been a bit like a cave-dwelling troll today, avoiding the intense sunshine outside. Still sweated cobs though. I did a load of prep for screenprinting. I put some designs onto screens with Speedball drawing fluid and got themContinue reading “Prepping And Perspiration!”
#StandingStoneSunday 1.
There’s such a thing as Standing Stone Sunday over on Twitter so I’m posting a drawing and video from my travels with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams a few years back. We tracked many of the Neolithic and Bronze Age standing stones across South Wales as Dewi was researching for his new bookContinue reading “#StandingStoneSunday 1.”
Scribbling In A Heatwave.
Husb and I ventured out into the blistering heat later this afternoon, strolled into town and called into the cafe by the new park for a cool drink. There was a family playing ping pong so I had a quick scribble en plein air. Very quick, just enough to sketch out the basic components ofContinue reading “Scribbling In A Heatwave.”
Ancient Fast Food Outlets Up A Mountain (with short video).
I’ve been looking though my YouTube channel and remembered the day I went up Mynydd Llangyndeyrn, a mountain with ancient stones, in Carmarthenshire. I was travelling around Wales with pre-historian, wit and raconteur Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams. Dewi was doing field research for his new book, Melvyn was filming him and I decidedContinue reading “Ancient Fast Food Outlets Up A Mountain (with short video).”
Scribbling The Music #2
Here’s another speedy sketch I did at the Windshake gig at Elysium last weekend. The lead singer is very fast moving so I had to scribble quickly. Really fab band, loved the gig. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabledContinue reading “Scribbling The Music #2”
