I have not seen the sea for three months, I am beginning to feel the need. Summer holidays and no seaside to mark it seems distinctly sad. Seeing the sea was an annual prerequisite when I was a child, even if only on a day trip. I lived in the Midlands so I understood […]
I think the most enjoyable part of working with artists is seeing the sketches. Although technically raw, the looseness and freedom in sketches add a lot of grace to the imagery — the ideas are fresh and immediate, implied without being spelled out. A heavy trick in illustration is making the final surpass the promise […]
Here are some of my latest gesture sketches made from the café terrace as tourists & locals mill around.
They’re all 10 second quickies. I’m looking to capture gesture, expression & attitude through body shapes, posture & clothing. If I’m lucky sometimes I manage to capture character & that’s when they’re most successful […]
The brass band concert given by United Cooperative Brass Band was a huge success. Outside the storm raged but inside over one hundred people enjoyed varied music from the band. Under their new conductor Simon Kerwin they played skilfully with great gusto and it was good to see so many young people taking part.The evening […]
I haven’t sketched for a long time. The last sketch I made was this incomplete one a month back at CDSA while Anita Ma’am was sharing some f her wisdom with us… which I don’t remember at all…So, I wonder when I will end up sketching again…
Imagine a brass band let loose upon the imagination of Brooklyn. No limitations on technique, no barriers on form and a musical director with tastes that range as far as the eye can see. That is what Youngblood Brass Band has brought into the world.
This is brass as weapon and salvation, the two edged sword […]
Terry’s Goyt Valley Brass Band welcomed in Christmas 2008 at the Crossings on Tuesday night. A great evening of brass band carols, Wee Dazzle’s warm dazzling mince pies with snow toppings & the Christmas lights turn on. Tetleydog would like to thank Terry & the band master & everyone who made the night a success.

last night a whole crowd of us went to the bloor cinema for a double feature. the first movie was ‘in good company’ which was pretty good and the second movie, which was fantastic, was ‘closer’.
i don’t think i’ve ever seen a movie that has hit so close to home. […]
Advert for MTVDirected by John Doe
I saw this advert for MTV and was initially grabbed by its look. The contrast is low and a limited colour palette is used giving it a dark and dull feel. The viewer is also drawn in by the story, as I watched; I became anxious to know what “disease” […]
As promised in the last post, I have tried to give justice to the feelings and thoughts that I experienced while and after reading “Night” by Elie Wiesel. There really aren’t words to attempt to describe it, and trying to do so might cheapen the impact that it had upon me. I […]
