Man In A Stripey Shirt.
I was at a meeting this evening, The Friends Of The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery’s Annual General Meeting, and I spotted this chap in a stripey shirt. Of course I had to have a scribble, in Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens into a smooth, cloth-bound A5 sketchbook.
Saving Cilfai.
Here’s a little scribble I did this evening at a public meeting in the Saint Thomas area of Swansea to look at objections to the proposed Skyline development on Swansea’s Eastside. If you want to take a look at the Planning Application Comments section, please click here.
A Green Man In The City.
Husb and I popped along to an event in Swansea’s City Centre on Saturday, drawing attention to the proposed Skyline development on Kilvey Hill, which is a much loved and valuable nature reserve reclaimed from industrial pollution. This Green Man turned up. He was very tall. And leafy. When I was little, the hill wasContinue reading “A Green Man In The City.”
Mari Lwyd On My Shirt!
I did my one-day artist residency at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir today and had a great time, some really fascinating people came into the gallery and first off, I used my Mari Lwyd lino block to print up a cotton shirt, a cheap buy from TK Maxx, with Speedball Fabric Block Printing Ink. Husb and I made our own MariContinue reading “Mari Lwyd On My Shirt!”
Mari Lwyd, The Workers And Me.
Here’s some shameless self-promotion for my one-day artist residency at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir this coming Friday. I’ll be bringing the flat-pack Mari Lwyd that Husb and I made from a kit designed by David Pitt for TRAC. It includes the outfit I printed with a Mari Lwyd design cut into a lino block.Continue reading “Mari Lwyd, The Workers And Me.”
Mari Lwyd – A Short Film.
Here’s a 1 minute film of some of my drawings of Mari Lwyds. I drew them en plein air at various Mari Lwyd “Meets” across South Wales, mostly before the Covid19 lockdown. The “Meets” are slowly returning and I’m looking forward to being out and about with them again in the coming Midwinter and NewContinue reading “Mari Lwyd – A Short Film.”
Come And See Me Up The Rhondda.
I’m off to Ynyshir in The Rhondda Valley on Friday 15th September for a one-day residency at The Workers Gallery, a little cultural gem in this former mining community. I’ve done a lot of work over the past few years around the Mari Lwyd, an ancient Welsh mid-winter tradition, so I thought I’d take lovelyContinue reading “Come And See Me Up The Rhondda.”
Save Kilvey Hill.
Husb and I went to a demonstration this evening, to protest against the plans to erect a “Skyline” zipwire complex on Swansea’s iconic Kilvey Hill. When I was a kid, the hill was completely black, not a thing grew there, it was dead, killed by the Industrial Revolution. Then in the early 1960s, Swansea UniversityContinue reading “Save Kilvey Hill.”
A Palace Of Organs Up The Rhondda.
Husb and I had a great visit to the little village of Ynyshir in the Rhondda Valley last Saturday. First we visited the Workers Gallery, to catch the end of the drawing workshop by internationally renowned documentary photographer David Hurn. Then we adjourned to the next street, to an old converted chapel, to listen toContinue reading “A Palace Of Organs Up The Rhondda.”
