It’s Saturday/Caturday once again and here’s my earliest drawing of Sparta Puss, when she was a little kitten (she’s 13 now). A friend noticed the sinister arrangement of fur on her forehead, it looks a bit like a skull head. She nicknamed her “The Third Kitten of the Apocalypse”. Luckily the strange markings changed asContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 7”

It’s Saturday / Caturday again and here’s an archive kitty drawing. This naughty cat is a very young Sparta Puss and Husb caught her expression perfectly. He used a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with a free drawing app called “Markers”.
Just Some Tweaking
I’ve done a little bit more work on this painted portrait I started a while back. It’s based on sketchbook drawings of my young relative. It’s been quite a learning experience as I’ve only started painting seriously since the Covid19 lockdown started – I’m a printmaker and scribbler. But I’m pleased with the way it’sContinue reading “Just Some Tweaking”
#Caturday Archives 5
Aaaaand it’s #Caturday again, so I’ve been raiding my kitty archives. Here’s Sparta Puss mooching around while I scribbled her. Each little sketch took a few seconds, I doubt if I spent as much as a minute on any of them. Sketching at speed is good for focusing on the important details, capturing the essenceContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 5”
Tentacles On my Head
For the first time in many years, I went into the sea a couple of weekends ago. I’ve never learnt to swim, despite living right by the sea for most of my life. The film Jaws didn’t help. I saw it when I was in my teens and convinced myself that great white sharks couldContinue reading “Tentacles On my Head”
Sticking Stuff
I’m working on a couple of collages as part of a recent commission – all a bit secret at the moment, but here are some sections. The brief is to work with a group of people to develop text-based collages using recycled printed paper. It’s great, they’re all so different. All will be revealed inContinue reading “Sticking Stuff”
#Caturday Archives 4
It’s Saturday / #Caturday and here’s another from my kitty archives. This is Little Ming, our floofy tortoiseshell rescue cat, now sadly no longer with us. But she was 18 when she died which was really good considering the awful life she started out with, poor little mite. Here she is lying on top ofContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 4”
Digital Tryout.
Husb has been searching around for a free digital drawing programme for me, to replace the “Markers” I used on my old Samsung Galaxy 8 tablet. He found “Concepts” so I’m giving it a tryout. I did this very quick scribble in a darkened room while Husb watched the TV. It’s got potential, not badContinue reading “Digital Tryout.”
Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.
Here’s the last of the sketches I did in Elysium Bar the other evening. Gigs are good for scribbling because people are generally focused on the performers and keep reasonably still. Tom Emlyn and Sarah Passmore were playing – check them out, they’re fab. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a youngerContinue reading “Scribbling In The Elysium Gallery Bar.”
Talking Heads
Here’s another of my sketchbook drawings from the Elysium Bar the other evening, two friends engrossed in talking. Lovely. Raising Funds. My family is raising money for Phil, a younger relative of mine, to have life-changing surgery in Spain. Phil is disabled by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and the operation he needs isn’t currently available in the UK.Continue reading “Talking Heads”
