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.

I’ve still got it!

When I’m scribbling away at a gig, there’s a lot of things to take into consideration that you don’t get when you’re drawing in a studio setting. For a start, the musicians and audience tend to be moving around a lot, which is a right pain to draw. Then there’s usually low lighting so theContinue reading “I’ve still got it!”

Heavy Metal Legs

Just back from an awesome gig at Elysium…more on that tomorrow. It was heavy, mostly metal, and there are always plenty of heavy metal legs to scribble.

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?!”

Petrichor.

After weeks of dry sunshine the weather broke this evening with a spectacular thunderstorm and downpour. There’s a lovely cool and fresh feeling outside and I now have a chance to use the word “petrichor”, which is the smell of the ground immediately after a rainstorm. My garden smells of petrichor and it’s lovely.

A Free Bus Pass.

Now that I’m an Old Git I have a free bus pass, so I used it to go visiting today. I had a bit of time to kill on the return journey so I sat and sketched for a few minutes, I guess about 7 or 8, just enough time to work on some perspectiveContinue reading “A Free Bus Pass.”

#Caturday Silhouette: 22

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and this week I put the positive silhouette of little Bill, our elderly rescue cat, onto a copy I made of a David Hockney painting during lockdown. The painter Ed Sumner ran a free Friday afternoon art class, The Cheese and Wine Painting Club, throughout Covid, teaching by copying the greatContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette: 22”

A Way With Hats.

I did some sketching at the Saint George in Swansea last Friday eve, where Husb and I had a great time listening to local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. Apart from being superb musicians, they have a snazzy way with hats.

The Accordion Player.

Here’s another quick little scribble from last weekend’s gig with local band “Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious“. When I was little I remember my Nana played an accordion but after she died, back in the 1960s, I never saw one played again for many years, but recently I’ve seen a few coming back into play.
