Drawings for prints
Some studies for my lino prints to come. I’m reducing the detail to encourage line and think in terms of blocks of colour. I’ll post the results and some images of my refurbished press soon.

The beginnings of So Jest End…
This is a drawing I made on the train journey back from London. I’m fortunate to have good friends living there and the chance to experience many different aspects of life in the city.
Autographs, ghosts and new young pretenders (Awards the Lyric theatre):
Congratulations to Gman who seems to be illustrating that art imitates life with his recent tales from the BIG smoke. Jesteneders.

Paintings and studies…
I’ve been painting on some old 7″ vinyl records that I’ve found hanging around the studio. I’ve used them to work out some people who feature in the new paintings I’m working on.

They are all sitting on the casting couch for the time being. I’ll post the final work later under the Paintings section.
Ever wondered what happened to your one half of your Converse boots when you went into the pit when you were 14…or 28? So did I so I pulled this guy out off the panel in Acrylic.
We’ll call him Steve: The Sneaker Keeper

Sketchbook work
Here are some recent sketchbook drawings.
This is for the girl at the party, I hope you find your ‘Ysbryd’. The domino I found in my pocket the next day and I don’t know how it got there. I do remember a few being thrown around. Hooligans.
I saw this guy on his stag do outside a chip shop in Cardiff at about half five in the afternoon. He was hammered, his friends had whipped off his clothes and this is all I could hear him say.
Sell your soul and you’ll have a boss. Stay self-employed.
That’s not vodka, that’s a peak flow punk. I have Asthma and today have a peak flow of 790.
Pontycymer – the land of angels. This is oil on paper.
At the end of a night I’ll use what paint is left and see what comes out in the sketch book. I have nothing to say about this except those are Mick Jaggers eyes.

New posts ah-coming
Just a short post to say there will be new work up on display in the next few days, my camera is back from repair and a new scanner will be in the post too.
I’ve been busy working on drawings and paintings which are exploring ideas and themes that will be the basis of the next six to twelve months work. I’m looking forward and feeling energized. I’ve recently acquired a lovely old press, so prints will be featuring too.
Many thanks,
Iolo
