Here are a few more speedy scribbles I did at the rugby match on Saturday. It was nice there, I was invited to share a box, which was warm and dry so I could sketch in comfort. That’s the way to do it.

Yesterday I went to the Rugby, at the Swansea.Com Stadium to watch The Ospreys play the Emirates Lions from South Africa. Of course I had to have a scribble!
