Hanging Out In Pakistan

Way back in 2007 (when I was a lot younger and skinnier) I went on a magical journey to Pakistan with a motley group of fellow travellers. Here I am enjoying the beautiful mountains and admiring locally spun and dyed wool in the Hunza valley. I’m standing next to my work that was exhibited inContinue reading “Hanging Out In Pakistan”

The Old Silk Route

Almost 20 years ago I journeyed to Pakistan, it was amazing. I did a lot of sketching and when I came back, those scribbles were the basis for new artwork. I was doing a lot in the three-colour separation monotype technique at the time. I learnt the process from American artist Vinita Voogd who cameContinue reading “The Old Silk Route”

Welcome To A New Digital Exhibition

It’s a story in words and images of my journey to Pakistan back in 2007 and how it subsequently led me to work with a pre-historian and filmmaker for three years travelling across the wild areas of South Wales.

We picked up a jeep load of armedContinue reading “Let Peace Prevail”

Sketchbook Archives: 56

Here are some old sketchbook scribbles, from March 2015 and it seems that I was out on the beach a lot, again. It must have been quite dry. I don’t mind going out and drawing when it’s cold, but I don’t want to be soaked.

Just A Quickie Or Two

I didn’t have my mojo with me this evening, or my spectacles, so I found the life drawing session quite difficult. For the last half hour I just made quick sketches of the other people there into my little A6 Indigo covered sketchbook with graphite.

Pakistan, Portraits And Recycling

Back in 2007, Husb and I went on a two week trip to Pakistan, travelling across the country with a motley group of companions in a large minibus. When I came back I did a lot of work based on that trip. I did this suite of 9 portraits, carved and printed from signwriter’s boardContinue reading “Pakistan, Portraits And Recycling”

Once Upon A Time…

Way back in 2007, Husb and I went on a two week trip to Pakistan, travelling across the country with a group of Welsh, Danish and Pakistani companions in a large minibus. It was truly magical. Here are a few of the sketchbook drawings I did when we were up in the mountains in theContinue reading “Once Upon A Time…”
