Americarna 2024

A sketch of the crowd viewing the cars running down the length of Devon Street in New Plymouth during Americarna.

Tapapakanga

Hi Class! On my summer holiday, we went to the beach.

Tempt

I was tempted to attempt this sketch of Tempt.

Te Henui Cemetery

The Te Henui Cemetery is on our local garden trail every year since it is maintained by a bunch of volunteers. As a result, it actually is a pretty nice garden and not really that creepy at all.

End of 2023 - Bonus Sketches

 I was going through the year's sketches and noticed a few sketches that didn't get uploaded as I went.

Here's a fish & chip shop that still has a retro light-up sign and even retro branded Air New Zealand carpet on the inside.

I did a quick sketch in my mini-book of this old house in the park. I came back in better weather for a colour version.

This is a view from the cricket ground in Pukekura Park. It looks out towards the Tasman Sea and you can see it on the horizon.

If I am sketching out in the garden, I will try to include weird bugs that might be around. Usually, it's just bees when I have my sketchbook. The really freaky stuff only comes out when I'm not drawing.
