Portraits At The Pub 27 – Phoebe, Milly, Karen and Charlie
On The Buses (And Trains)
On The Buses (And Trains)
I don’t travel as much as I used to on buses and trains, especially night buses. I used to work on them a lot travelling back from visits to London but I rarely go into town anymore. I can draw on a bus and adjust my strokes to the movements. A childhood of writing and doodling on moving boats, I guess? The lifting of restrictions meant I started travelling on them again, and a few times on night…
Portraits At The Pub - Kate
Portraits At The Pub – Kate
Last session of the year, and we had Kate sitting for us. As usually a mixture of styles, only did three pieces but luckily all three were keepers. Wasn’t totally happy with the large Neocolor 2 piece ‘Starry Night’ this time, but I liked the face and the wine glass. And another good white on black drawing – this time with a chunky Woody Pencil! I do like to make it hard for myself….

Portraits at the Pub - Rick
Portraits at the Pub – Rick
Those with long memories might remember Rick – he’s posed for us at Portraits at the Pub before, only a month or so before the first lockdown in Feb 2020 – it was one of the last portrait sessions. And here he is again, this time very different from last time’s welding clothes to a flower in his hair and an amazing wool clothes that I really didn’t do justice to – all purple and red. Loved…
Portraits At The Pub: Jackie
Portraits At The Pub: Jackie
Sorry for the delay posting these (these are from nearly a month ago), been in a seasonal slump – always get seasonal depression when it gets dark and the clocks go back. I am working, currently on Abstract Advent for the whole of December to kick my working back in gear…and also attending Portraits at the Pub every two weeks. The last but one was with a woman I think was called Jackie or…
Portraits At The Pub - Trudie
Portraits At The Pub – Trudie
After a month away from Portraits At The Pub, it was a little scary – mostly because next to Trudie was the resident Lamb Skeleton (yes they have one) dressed in Halloween attire of a top hat and weirdly a heart cushion in their rib cage. I guess it’s the skeleton’s favourite time of year! Trudie was wearing her wedding dress, so it looked like some spooky wedding so the first drawing was a nod…
Slick Rick remix artwork and video
Slick Rick remix artwork and video
Not often my fountain pen drawing and watercolour artwork gets featured in a music video and cover for a remix of Slick Rick….think of me as the funky Bob Ross! This work was a collaboration with Rhythm Scholar illustrating his wonderful mashup remix of Children’s Story. This was delving more into my design/illustration past yet working more in a loose funky 70’s illustration mood but it was a…
Portraits At The Pub 14 - Joe
Portraits At The Pub 14 – Joe
The second of the restarted Portraits At The Pub at The Lamb, and this time it was the golden locks of Joe we were drawing. I took Martin’s usual spot since he and several of the usuals were away, and didn’t notice that I got profiles all night! I found it hard to get into this one – the classic ‘resemblance’ hole was hard to work my way out, even when I switched mediums. I just couldn’t get him…
