Good that I had to stop at this point as my train was coming, the sketch may have been overworked if I had more time.
On Sunday 12th August I’ll be showing and selling my work along with other designers at Hirchhof Fest in Karlsruhe.

This was a commisioned drawing for Architekturschaufenster for their exhibition on all the building projects along Kriegsstraße. We tried to show the contrast between the 8-lane road and the park.
I tried to draw the gardeners and mini 3-wheeler van at a discrete distance but close enough to see enough detail. Just about managed it but the angle isn’t ideal. I wanted to show that the men were bigger than the van. They also wore the same colours in the same places as the van!
I’ll be at Lametta in Karlsruhe, pop round for a chat:
Geöffnet am Samstag, den 9. Dezember von 12 bis 20 Uhr.
A trip to the rubbish dump involved waiting in a queue of 35 cars so I was forced to draw something.
All the villages in the area have these old communal bakeries. Looking at the smoke stains, this one looks like all the bread was turned to toast.
I’ll be having an exhibition at this gallery in Karlsruhe from 11th April:
The vicar welcomed me and asked how I’m coping with brexit in Germany. He said he unfortunately hasn’t got any continental relatives so has to stick with only his British passport.

Just finished an excellent tour of the castle with a beefeater. While I was drawing this the next beefeater was doing his tour but it was a shouty version.
There wind was blowing so hard, I had to keep blowing the sand settling on my sketchbook every 2 minutes.
Dark atmosphere when I started sketching until the lights were turned on to prepare for the next funeral.
A friend was being transferred to a city with a notable crime record - this was back in the 1980s ... I had done a simple cartoon but they liked it so much, they asked for a whole story! Once I got going it was too much fun, so kept it up until I ran out of ink! Instead of hiding it, they framed it!
INKTOBER day 26: camera
James Bond with all his nifty tricks and electronics… wait… this is not Sean Connery! It’s George Lazenby in his one time role of James Bond! Look that up!
I only had 90 minutes to find something to sketch before getting back to the minibus and put another coin in the parking meter.
Here's an ink and watercolour sketch that I made from a photo of the original Tin House built in the 1860s at 136 Guigues Avenue in the Lowertown section of Ottawa. The building has an interesting history which is recounted in this link by Heritage Canada. The original structure was built by a tinsmith named Honoré Foisy who painstakingly created it as a sort of advertisement for his buisness. After the building was demolished in the 1960s, an Ottawa artist named Art Price collected pieces of the structure and restored the facade with other pieces from demolished buildings. The facade was installed on the wall of the present courtyard in 1973 and enjoyed great popularity. In the early 2000s, the structure was becoming damaged by oxidation and had to be restored once again. I've always been amazed by this structure because it preserves a part of the local history and because it's a beautiful creation by two talented artists.
Voici un dessin à l'encre et à l'aquarelle que j'ai réalisé à partir d'une photo de la maison en fer blanc originale construite dans les années 1860 au 136, avenue Guigues, dans la partie Basseville d'Ottawa. Le bâtiment a une histoire intéressante qui est relatée dans ce lien par Patrimoine Canada. La structure originale a été construite par un ferblantier nommé Honoré Foisy, qui l'a soigneusement créée pour en faire une sorte de publicité. Après la démolition du bâtiment dans les années 1960, un artiste d'Ottawa, Art Price, a rassemblé des morceaux de la structure et a restauré la façade avec d'autres morceaux de bâtiments démolis. La façade a été installée sur le mur de la cour actuelle en 1973 et jouissait d'une grande popularité. Au début des années 2000, la structure était endommagée par l'oxydation et a dû être restaurée une fois de plus. Cette structure m'a toujours émerveillée car elle conserve une partie de l'histoire locale et constitue une belle création de deux artistes talentueux.
