‘Drawing Folk’ continues - Monday night in Falmouth, this week at Cornishbank - wonderful folk musicians and great drawing company - Just the best way to start the week - evening drawing with keen artist freinds and students - Next Monday the ‘Fal Breton Dance Band’ again in the ‘Front’.

Life drawing with waste ‘Riso’ sheets - what fun we had in the Belmont hut yesterday with the foundation. A short session so we went for a ‘2 for 1’ approach. It turns out - that if you retrieve the inky paper waste sheets from the side of the Riso printers you can use them like disco carbon paper.

Cephalopods - drawing - sculpture ideas / tinkerings - sketching in the margins of my days. Ideas are like this, they tumble along next to everything else - shapes, alternatives and new sculptural thinking. #octopus #squid #cuttlefish #sculptures

Ice age reportage drawing ‘Gully Cave Dig’ - today. Mendip Hills, So. I don’t often draw with ink in the field and it went well. Much change at the dig site - my fifth year drawing progress at the palaeontology cave dig and how things have developed over 5 seasons. #reportageillustration #drawing

Seaside adventures for the wicker ‘Basket Shark’ on @worldoceanday.bsky.social and the Gylly beach plankton hat procession on Sunday. #cornwall Small carbon impact but large visual impact. #creative #activism @sascampaigns.bsky.social @falmouthuniversity.bsky.social @fmconservation.bsky.social

A glimpse of the ‘moving’ shark after last weeks push to get it ‘swimming’ & onto recycled woodwork wheels, ready for @worldoceanday.bsky.social plankton parade, Sunday. Small carbon impact large visual impact. @sascampaigns.bsky.social @falmouthuniversity.bsky.social @fmconservation.bsky.social
