#Caturday Saturday

I acquired some second hand Derwent Aquatone watercolour sticks recently and I’m giving them a try-out. I used a stencil I made of our little rescue cat William Chatnoir aka Bill, to draw a couple of outlines onto some heavyweight Khadi paper and used an Escoda brush to start blending three different blues together. NotContinue reading “#Caturday Saturday”

Fancy Schmancy Shorts

I see loads of different and very sketchable clothes at gigs, I try to draw the interesting ones. This pair of fancy schmancy (long) shorts impressed me and stayed still long enough for a good scribble.

Doing My Scales…

A very quick scribble from the crowd at a recent gig at Elysium, just a minute or so, ballpoint pen into an A6 sketchbook (fits into my pocket). Working so quickly forces me to focus on the important features in front of me and not get distracted by detail. It’s good practice, like a singerContinue reading “Doing My Scales…”

And More Legs Inked And Printed.

I didn’t stop at one pair of heavy metal legs, oh no, I did another (and I’ve got a third pair on the go). I’ve been drawing loads of them at gigs and I’m having a bit of fun carving them into lino and printing them up. They’re different to the ones I posted yesterday.Continue reading “And More Legs Inked And Printed.”

Legs – Inked And Printed.

Here’s the first print of my little linocut “Heavy Metal Legs” that I based on many sketches of legs at heavy metal gigs in recent years. It’s a 10 x 10 cm square ready for submission to Miniprint Cymru.

Inking Up My Legs…

Well, not my legs exactly, my little lino block based on my series of sketches called “Heavy Metal Legs”. I’m using black Cranfield Caligo Safewash oil-based Relief Ink and traditional grey lino. I used Flexcut tools to cut the block.

The Flat Hat.

It seems that flat hats are back. I always associate flat caps with old blokes, but now that I’m old, it’s a bit of a surprise seeing young men wearing them. Yes, it’s a young man in my sketch but the flat hat and moustache (also making a comeback apparently) that make him look older.Continue reading “The Flat Hat.”
