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.”

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.”

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”

Scribbling The Music #1

I like going to gigs and I like sketching. I like sketching at gigs. Scribbling members of the audience is usually relatively easy as they’re normally absorbed in the music – unless there’s a mosh pit going on! Now and again I try drawing the musicians, which is often harder because they tend to moveContinue reading “Scribbling The Music #1”

Spotting a character

When I’m sketching en plein air, it’s great when an unusual character comes along. It’s nice drawing anyone, but now and again someone exceptional appears. This guy was really getting into the band Windshake at the Elysium Bar the other evening. So I scribbled him. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, aContinue reading “Spotting a character”

Another Face In The Place.

Here’s another quick scribble I did last night into my sketchbook, at the Elysium Bar. Husb and I went to see singer songwriter Tom Emlyn and folk psychedelia band Windshake – great musicians all. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. PhilContinue reading “Another Face In The Place.”

A Quickie In The Pub

Husb and I went to the Elysium Bar this evening for some live music and of course, I had to have a quick scribble. There were plenty of interesting faces for me to sketch. Hats, glasses and beards are always a bit difficult and this chap had all three. Raising Funds. My family is raisingContinue reading “A Quickie In The Pub”
