Was he a celebrity in disguise? Probably not. It was a sunny morning, but are sunglasses still necessary when using one of the deep lines of the underground network? He wasn’t blind. Medium: Digital drawing on iPhone Date drawn: 9th – 10th July 2013

iPhone drawing This store is always busy, or popular if you look at it another way. My receipt informed me: “Today you were served by Margaret”. Well, thanks, Margaret. For this drawing, I made a very rough sketch whilst in the queue. Much of the details came from a photograph […]
iPhone drawing Every newspaper was full of news of about Andy Murray’s victory at Wimbledon the previous day: Yesterday’s news, today! Most people had heard the news immediately through the internet, radio or television, and now newspapers get to mention it again. I’m not too keen on tennis, less so […]
iPhone drawing A warm evening after work, when I sat in Cavendish Square eating some sushi, along with the pigeons and other people, all beneath the shade of the huge London plane trees.
iPhone drawing London’s weather is unpredictable, though it is generally best to expect cold, cloudy or damp conditions. Everyone is in t-shirts (or less) once the sun comes out! These two guys looked very tired.
iPad drawing The interior of Herne Hill station, despite it’s beautiful Neo-Gothic brick exterior, is hideous. Probably from the 1970s, it’s all yellow and brown tiles with no original features. It has a payphone, an odd sight now when most people have mobile phones. I feel almost like I could […]
iPad drawing I was lucky to be able to visit St Paul’s Cathedral, there I attend a guided tour, saw it’s collection of artefacts and explored right to the top of the dome. The trip, organised by my workplace, exceeded my expectations. The view from the dome is amazing; one […]
iPhone drawing A Saturday morning trip to catch a train to Manchester. It was early, but in context I was the most lively and awake person there. I wasn’t sure if my fellow traveller was drunk or just very tired.
iPhone drawing Getting on board Brixton, I usually get a seat, even during the morning rush hour. This time I had to stand, but it meant I could see what people were reading or what they were doing on their iPads. A lady was making a to-do-list for a trip […]
iPhone drawing The hissing sound when the seal is broken, releasing the smell of fresh coffee, is quite an occassion. It happens probably once a month and is a small, happy event. I’ll drink to that.
iPhone drawing Looking after kids must be hard. I don’t have any, so I can be glad that these ‘angels’ weren’t mine. What a mess.
iPhone drawing On my way home on a wet day, meaning a wet train carriage, made even more disgusting when I saw a man picking his nose and eating whatever he found.
iPhone drawing I was on my way home, boarded a packed bus and I thought I was lucky when I spotted an empty seat. The guy sitting next to that seat was a powerful reason why no one wanted to sit there. The smell of fried food and ketchup was rather […]
iPad drawing The shed in the garden of my rented place is full of the unwanted or forgotten items from existing and former tenants. It’s a bit of a mess. There’s two lawn mowers, several mattresses and many old pots of paint amongst the boxes and random pieces of furniture. […]
iPad drawing It was time to wash my sheets and also the mattress cover. It reminded me of the imperfect condition of what I sleep on and ignited questions I tried to suppress: What is the history of the bed in my furnished, rented room? Who slept on it before? […]
iPhone drawing From the top deck of a bus, I saw this positive message followed by a more mercenary one.
iPhone drawing The tide was low and I mudlarked on the banks of the Thames. I found no treasure, mostly rocks and sand and a fair bit of rubbish. One piece of flotsam that caught my eye was a fragment of Oystercard. Perhaps someone treated it like a credit card […]
iPhone drawing I spotted another pair of red trousers, this time on my morning commute, when a man stopped on the platform to tie his shoelaces.
iPad drawing It’s cold. Single glazing is not good, but that’s what I’ve got. I went to Argo to get a small electric heater which has been an absolute saviour, whilst there I spotted red trousers, proving it wasn’t just a hipster / East London thing.
iPhone drawing I was attending a book launch at the Flowers East gallery in Hoxton, London, when I spotted a lot of hipsters in tight red trousers. The wine and canapés were flowing freely, the art was nice too. It was the first of several days where I saw (and drew) […]
