A selection from the small sketchbooks that I've taken to festivals, gigs and band practices over the last few years. The first dozen or so are from WOMAD 2011, then a few Glastonbury ones, various gigs and finally some local friends' parties and that sort of thing. There are more sketches of musicians in the blogs; take a look at 4 August 2012 (Latitude Festival), 3 June 2013 (The Abyssinians), 7 April 2014 (Maverick Festival) and 22 April 2014 (Lee Scratch Perry). They're drawn in A6 size sketchbooks (about 6" x 4") with a fine waterproof pen then coloured in with watercolour.
....and here are some more, this time with captions too.
