#Caturday: Just Scribbling

It’s getting stormy outside, Autumn is definitely here so Husb and I and cwtched inside the house with the cats. I had a quick scribble when Sparta Puss sat next to me. She was looking a bit cross, but that’s not unusual for her!

Here’s a digital drawing of the Late, Great Little Ming, a tiny, fluffy, pretty one-eyed Naughty Tortie, who was also the scourge of our local vet’s surgery! We could pick her up, cwtch her, snuggle her, but when she was put into a cat basket and taken to the vet, she turned into a demon!Continue reading “#Caturday Archives: 27”

They were exhibited in the Fringe Arts Bath festival later that year.Continue reading “Sketchbook Archives: 40”

I also included some imagery based on rubbish – the sort that ends up inContinue reading

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…”
