Flag waving.

Had to go and have a look. I love my city, and when it scrubs up and puts on a show like that it would have been churlish not to go see.

Did several sketches, but just wanted one that caught it all.

Flag waving can serve many purposes, not always for the good. But yesterday's red, white and blue was nothing but open hearted.

In my opinion.

This guy was interviewed on BBC London News as well, saying he was just enjoying the opportunity to be patriotic, so I wasn't the only person who spotted him.

Two blokes on a train.

Am starting to worry that my subjects are getting a bit samey. Need to find some new sketching arenas.

Because people on trains.. well I am not being challenged much at the moment. The runners made me think to find newer situations to sketch people in. Just need to think where.

In the mean time...

...blokes on trains.

Happy Easter

And beautiful and sunny with it, How rare is that ?

This girl was fast asleep on the train the other day. Not exactly Eastery, but maybe, just ,maybe, she was dreaming of chocolate.

I can get way with that as a link, can't I ?

Have a good one.

I'm a singer in a band.

One last sketch of the Cuban domino players.

The singer again, sitting out a game.

Cuban rescue.

Sketched this woman in her blue D&G knock off top whilst we sat in a small park dominated by a statue of Cervantes.

And then, later on, as we were being accosted by a bloke wanting us to give him money, there she was again, sitting on a wall outside the National Cuban Art Gallery. And I said hello, and she smiled back, and then told the bloke to leave us alone.

Or at least that is how I am interpreting that situation.

fidget rejects.

Wow, yesterday's fidget post really struck a chord.

Thought I would share some of the (better) reject pages, where I would just get a few lines down and they would shift and alter their position so much that I had to turn the page and start anew.

She would not sit still ! And I can draw fast if I need to.

And this guy... don't get me started. Never got a good one of him at all. Phone... fidget... music... tug at sweater sleeves... check e-mail... rub head...

Maybe my sketching was making him nervous ?

fidget

Some people just can't sit still. Sat by two of the most fidgety people ever. Wasted pages on them, just got a few lines down and off they went, fiddling with phones, looking out the windows, doing this, doing that.

Just calm down please.
