Swig and Vittle

22nd of October.Invited to draw at the opening the Swig and Vittle .The latest bar and restaurant in my favourite road,Camden Road in Tunbridge Wells. Drawing quick caricatures of punters and customers at the new venue. Had a huge queue all night for portraits.A great souvenir for customers and a cool way to launch the party and the new business.

Two friends drawn together but on separate bits of paper. They'll scan them and make one drawing.

4 minute sketch plus client logo to advertise new logo

Forest Hill

Last Thursday 21 Oct Had a fun filled evening drawing at the 1st Birthday Party of The Signal Pub Forest Hill. Thanks to Monty Clevely for hiring me after the opening of Islington Town House last month- blog and photos to follow- slightly backwards ,but there we are.

Fun to do a profile for a change. He was busy chatting so I just kept drawing.Slightly Romanesque.

These pics took less than 5 mins each.

21st Birthday Party

Really wonderful 21st birthday party in sunny Petersfield in in Midsummer. Magical evening. Lots of bright young things. I managed to lose my car keys once the sun went down. Flur;s lovely mum managed to find them with the help of a torch.

Gold and black theme for party.Hence swanky bow tie.

Open studios

Had lots of fun in the summer drawing at other artists studios.They were having private views and wanted someone to draw the guests. Everyone happy

Autumn Almanac

I have been very slack about jeeping a blog on this new.well newish website. It's been a productive summer since I started. I suppose that's why there's been no blog.

This is the largest number of caricatures I have ever done in one drawing. 38 portraits for an Officer's Mess. Not too much  of a mess hopefully.

I like to be punctual,if not a bit early for any job I'm doing. I rather over did it in August. I turned up for a wedding at the Clarendon Royal Hotel Gravesend. Turned out I was early.A year early.Oh well. it was a lovely evening for a drive.See you next year Amy.

Life's a beach

Oh to be in summer now that England's here. Drove to Whitstable Saturday evening to draw at a Wedding at the Marine Hotel, Tankerton Beach. Absolutely beautiful spot. When I arrived many of the guests were enjoying the evening sunshine on the grassy parade above the beach.

Wonderful wedding, very friendly people.Did loads of drawings. Lost count but 50 + people.

Only fly in the ice cream was that i left my ipad behind. Fortunately the lovely Jo from the Marine Hotel rang to say it was in the Hotel safe.

Congratulations Dan and Georgina. Enjoy your honeymoon in Italy.

Mother and father of the Groom. Happy with thier portraits
