• Eurosketchbook-smallSaturday saw the 2014 Eurovision Song contest. I drew all the way through and tweeted the results as I went along. It was exhausting!

    Each song is about 2 minutes long, the camera can sometimes take 30 seconds to focus in on the singer – very frustrating. I have to choose who is the person to draw and go with it.
    I suppose I take a snapshot in my mind and do the best I can. The camera doesn’t stay on the person you want for very long, and then an ice skater appears so you never get to see the drawing subject again!

    It requires speed, concentration and stamina! The next song was usually starting as I was still tweeting the previous drawing.

    Hope you enjoy.

  • OmaniManDuring my trip to Oman, I had the pleasure of being taken to the Royal Opera House to See Dianne Krall play with her band. The Staff who were making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time, were all very crisp and beautifully turned out. I did a very quick sketch of one of the ushers on his two way radio. this drawing has come from that sketch plus a lot of taking sneak peeks at how Omani men dress themselves.
