If this morning was any indication, today threatened to thunder uncontrollably down hill into what all you cool internet types would recognise as a Big Fat Über-Fail!
Having this week purchased additional gear to make the most of drawing and sketching on-site (as opposed to snapping photographs and sketches then working purely in my “studio”), I [...]

I am sketching at a nearby church late on Sunday morning (see image), and experience an interesting encounter. Some of the dialogue here may be paraphrased but I assure you not exaggerated.
I stand at one side of the gated entrance – the most interesting composition in that particular light – and peek up from my [...]

We sat grabbing a café solo (espresso) at our favourite restaurant last week in Dénia: Manduka. An ideal opportunity to grab a pen and sketchbook.

I am never one to share the cry of scare-mongers without looking deeper. So when changes to the Terrorism Act appear to have given the Police rather draconian powers against photography in pubic, I wanted to gain some clarity on our regal rights. It turns out those scare-mongers have been at work again.
We regularly read [...]

I adore Moleskines. I love them for writing, but I struggle to be satisfied with them for sketching. So the once quiet hunt for the ideal sketchbook recently took a turn for the better.
What’s wrong with Molesknes for sketching? The very uniform and predictable paper – which is either a little too heavy or a [...]

Sometimes the intent fails but the outcome is far more interesting!
A short outing to Weyland’s Smithy (an ancient burial site) yesterday resulted not in great photos of the barrow itself, but what we found when wandering around nearby.
Much of my fail yesterday was due to not spending enough time learning (or rather re-learning) how to [...]

One of the big problems in working an effective GTD system is making everything play nice together – connecting all those micro systems which form part of the ideal GTD solution.
As well as recording what I need to do, I have lately taken to recording what I’ve done. I keep a basic journal (in a [...]
