Getting Ready To Print…

I’ve got three little lino blocks cut and ready to print, inspired by the research and drawings I did about the South Wales Miners’ Wives 1984-1985. I’ve set up the print station, everything’s ready to go. Eventually, these will be for sale here on my website.

#Caturday With Tulips

Here’s our little elderly rescue kitty, ‘Bill’ AKA ‘William Chatnoir’ AKA ‘Phoebe’ who came to us almost a year ago. She ended up in a rescue shelter when her beloved human sadly passed. She was fearful and depressed when she first moved in but she’s found her paws and is quite feisty now, especially whenContinue reading “#Caturday With Tulips”

A Short Film Of My Sketchbooks…

Husb made a short film of a lot of my sketchbook drawings. Many artists draw in sketchbooks but they’re rarely made public. So please have a look 😀

A Bit Of Fun…

I had a bit of fun with this little lino block. I teach art to adults a couple of days a week and I’m running a course on lino printing at the moment. We’re doing ‘jigsaw’ lino blocks, and today I demonstrated how to maximise colour using the ‘rainbow roll’ technique. It’s nice to doContinue reading “A Bit Of Fun…”

#Caturday Cushions.

“Greetings Hoomins. Sparta Puss here. It’s been too long since I last got my paws on the Pooter Box. The she-monkey has been keeping me away from it! The hairless apes have been busy faffing around in the house and garden, they say we’re moving. I don’t know what that means but things around hereContinue reading “#Caturday Cushions.”

Sketchbook Archives: 4

Looking back through my old blog posts month by month, I’ve reached December 2011, about 6 months after I began this blog. Older relatives were increasingly in hospital, I spent a lot of time there, visiting, a good place for sketching, quiet and peaceful.

Sketchbook Archives: 3 (NYC)

I started this blog back in 2011 and I was delighted when, by the end of the first week, my statistics showed that 12 people – TWELVE – had read it. I was so excited. I’m still excited by it 13 years and around 4,300 posts later. And thrilled by the many people who nowContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 3 (NYC)”

It’s Caturday Saturday

It’s Saturday Caturday and here’s Sparta Puss asleep on my Flexcut cutting tools. She wasn’t too impressed that I was getting on with some art stuff and not giving her enough attention (enough is never enough!) so she subverted me!

Sketchbook Archives: 2

Here’s a few of the sketches I did en plein air back in September 2011, in the earliest days of this blog. I used to be out and about so much, scribbling away into my sketchbooks, but the Covid19 pandemic restrictions disrupted that and I haven’t really got back into it. I sketch at gigsContinue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 2”
