Swansea Fringe 2023: Rock Foxes 2.

Some more sketches the very loud and very entertaining punk band Rock Foxes at the Swansea Fringe last weekend at Crowley’s Rock Bar. There’s some terrific banter between the band members. When I’m speed sketching, there’s usually only enough time to get an impression of what’s before me, especially with rock bands who tend to be moving aContinue reading “Swansea Fringe 2023: Rock Foxes 2.”

Swansea Fringe 2023: Rock Foxes 1

Here are a couple of sketches of the punk band Rock Foxes at the Swansea Fringe last weekend at Crowley’s Rock Bar. I did this with Derwent Inktense blocks and a reservoir water brush into my Khadi sketchbook. I put too much water onto the paper and my lines ran but I like it. The quickContinue reading “Swansea Fringe 2023: Rock Foxes 1”

Swansea Fringe 2023: Dafydd Hedd

Here are three sketches of the Indie Rock musician Dafydd Hedd and a fellow musician who appeared the Fringe last weekend at Crowley’s Rock Bar. I did the pen sketches first but wasn’t happy with them so I switched to Nitram charcoal into my Khadi sketchbook, which I prefer.

Swansea Fringe 2023: Lurcher 3.

Another sketch from Lurcher‘s performance last weekend at Hangar 18 at this year’s Swansea Fringe. This time I left the bassist alone and scribbled the lead singer. It was a quick sketch and the venue was dark so I didn’t notice the wobbly hand until the next day. I really like it.

#Caturday with bubble wrap.

Just a bit of fun for #Caturday. I was doing some monotype prints the other day, using Gelli plates and bubble wrap and I picked up this rag from the rag bin, a piece of cotton covered with little cartoon cats. After I finished printing each colour – Process Magenta and Process Cyan – IContinue reading “#Caturday with bubble wrap.”

Swansea Fringe 2023: VAILS

Here are some sketches of the band VAILS, from last weekend at Hangar 18 at this year’s Swansea Fringe. I drew this first one into my rough Khadi sketchbook with a stick of Nitram charcoal. Then I did some very free sketches into my smooth sketchbook with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen. These are quick, as thereContinue reading “Swansea Fringe 2023: VAILS”

Swansea Fringe 2023: Lurcher 2

A couple more sketches from Lurcher‘s performance last weekend at Hangar 18 at this year’s Swansea Fringe. I drew this into my Khadi sketchbook, which is really rough paper, not suitable for pen work but great for my Derwent Inktense blocks. I scribbled the lines of the body and guitar straight onto the page with the point ofContinue reading “Swansea Fringe 2023: Lurcher 2”
