I did loads of sketches at the Elysium gig last week, it was an interesting crowd. This guy had a big, quite fancy leather jacket on and he was taking photos with and SLR camera so he was hunched over a lot. I really liked the pose.

Another quick little sketch from the audience at the recent gig at Elysium. It was a fab gig with the Jerry Williams Band, Goat Major and Mister Bison.
This Was Hard!
I was on a roll sketching at the recent gig at Elysium, but it doesn’t always work out. This one was really hard to do. The musician had a distinctive stance and that, coupled with the angle of his guitar, made this scribble difficult.
More Heavy Metal Legs
More heavy metal legs I scribbled at the Elysium gig Husb and I were at last weekend. Male metal fans seem to like wearing short trousers, so I get lots of practice drawing men’s legs with socks and trainers.
The Stance!
This guy at the recent gig at Elysium had a great stance, so I scribbled him. I was listening to the band “Goat Major” at the time and really getting into the “occult doom/stoner metal” groove as I scribbled away, it made my pen strokes much more intense, I think.

Re-Cluttering?!
A few years ago, before Covid, I was on a decluttering rampage and gave away these traditional Asian woodblocks because, to tell the truth, I never used them. Then the person I gave them to went on a decluttering rampage recently and asked if I wanted them back. I said “Oh go on then” becauseContinue reading “Re-Cluttering?!”
Three Places At Once!

An Overlooked Destination.
I went to the opening of a lovely exhibition for International Women’s Day, at Cynon Valley Museum in Aberdare. The show is called ‘Women & The Valleys: The Valleys’ Daughters’ , curated by Karin Mear and runs until 30th March 2025. I submitted my screenprint, “Smiling and Splendid” inspired by the Miner’s Wives struggle ofContinue reading “An Overlooked Destination.”
