Making An Exhibition of Myself

Just to announce a mini exhibition of scans of sketchbook pen and ink drawings at St Michael's on now!  Pop in and enjoy.

What to do in a sermon?

Noughts and Crosses! Of course - actually I'm guessing it was Noughts and Crosses (Tic-tac-toe american friends) but it could have been Squares, Sudoko or some other sermon activity - what's your favourite - me I draw!  But I do listen honest, I have this trouble in my other job when I doodle - non doodlers find it hard to understand that the act of doodling actually improves uptake of information.  I think that's a scientific fact or if it isn't it should be! 

Post Christmas Post

Well had a bit of a break over Christmas but did manage this sketch during the Christmas morning service.

And a mother and baby picture seemed appropriate somehow.

Advent 2

George Craine speaking/whispering.

Various gentlemen listening

 From this mornings Advent 2 service.  Interestingly the sermon took the form of a talk from George Craine about medieval carvings of Matthew's account of the Magi in a cathedral in Spain - apparently one of the finest examples of medieval carving in Europe - shown on a power point.  So artists rearing their heads for a second advent service.

Just a word about my sketches of members of the congregation - firstly I am getting increasingly long sighted so if you are more than 15 feet from me and I'm not wearing my glasses, you are a bit of a blur so I might get your shape but no details.  Secondly I am/was a cartoonist and have a tendency to caricature a little bit.  So if you recognise yourself and think 'My nose isn't that big!'  Be assured your nose is not that big it's just been drawn 'that big'. So please don't take offense.
