Tonight's demonstrations from my Adult Drawing Class for Beginners. It turns out there's lots of pleasure to be had shading in Abbey Road crossings and Parisian cafes!

Unfortunately we lost our little Lagertha today. She was a brave and affectionate girl who only ever wanted cuddles, adventure and to lick your head. The past three months she's been battling tumours, and after lots of care and mushed up baby food, she finally had enough. Ke…

I'm at the Steampunk & Artisan market in Colwyn Bay today! Find some at Station Court (above Porters Coffee Shop) on the main highstreet. Pop along for something shiny, and I'm having a January sale, so there are plenty of bargains. Even got some motorbikes by my very talent…

A look at a very special Christmas watercolour commission. When I get asked to draw 'three little dinosaurs skipping on a skip', of course I'm going to say yes!

Jumping on the #top9 trend of my popular posts from 2019! There's a pleasing mix of illustration and sculpture, plus exhibition, drawing class and webcomic posts. Hoping to maintain a good mix of these in the new year, and maybe add a few experiments to the to-do list. Have …

Remember to be good for Krampus, or you'll end up like this little fella! Our wallpaper is currently being stripped, so I'll be hanging my festive deer skulls next year. I'll be catching up with friends and family this holiday, so I'll see you all in the new year. Happy fest…

Very nearly done on this one! Just some dandelions to add to the scene. There will be some seeds floating away to fill in that sky. Who doesn't love a good sunset?! #mural #wallart #painting #acrylic #camhs #create #commission #tortoise #youngpeople #sunset #dandelions #wallmural

It was a long weekend, and three murals was a bit optimistic! Here's mural number two very nearly finished! I'll be back in the ward this week to complete the outline work and get number three going. Wish me luck!

It's been a busy day at the CAMHS unit in Llandudno Hospital. This is one of three murals me and my amazing assistants are painting this weekend! Just the outlines and edging to finish on this one... and the other two tomorrow (I'll post pics of them soon)! #camhs #create #…

Having an awesome Halloween!!! Made lots of spooky cakes with my mum and sister. My nephew decided to eat the slime monster cake and fondant (pure sugar!) spider, so he's hyped! I've not carved a pumpkin in ages, so it was fun scooping out it's innards and slopping them into…

Working on some more wall mural designs. This little rabbit keeps popping up and is being very cheeky this time!

Working on a handout for my art classes. What better UK wildlife to draw than a badger?! I do like using Sketchbook. It's the easiest and smoothest digital sketch programme I've found so far, and it's free!
