A little piece of #Birmingham modern cultural history: this is The Crown, behind New St Station, now disused but once a music venue that hosted Black Sabbath (their 1st gig), Robert Plant, Status Quo & The Who + others. Let’s hope moves to refurbish the place succeed. #art #artist #artwork #artweeks

One from last week's trip to Wells in Somerset: a view of the oldest complete medieval street in England (Vicar's Close) with the cathedral behind. #art #artwork #ArtistOnTwitter #ArtistOnbluesky #drawing #draw #sketch #sketching #urbansketching #urbansketcher #artist #artweeks #kuns

Another from my recent trip to #Lincoln: this is The Crooked House at the top of Michaelgate, with the Cathedral in the background. #art #artistonbkuesky #artwork #artist #artweeks #drawing #draw #sketch #urbansketchers #urbansketching #watercolour

I'm getting back in to the swing of drawing again, after a long pause of 3 months or so. This one is from my recent trip to Lincoln: a view of the west elevation of the magnificent cathedral from Castle Hill. #art #artist #artistonbluesky #artwork #urbansketching #sketch #sketching #draw #drawing

The anniversary of another masterpiece: 49 yrs since the release of David Bowie’s finest hour (imo). It doesn’t get better than this. #Bowie #DavidBowie #thinwhiteduke

I haven’t done much drawing recently, but here’s one to help get me back in to it: a view of Westgate & Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick drawn on a freezing cold afternoon last Saturday. #drawing #draw #art #artist #artistonbluesky #sketch #watercolour #sketching #artweeks #artwork #warwickshire

50 years ago today, in 1975, this masterpiece was released. What an album!

On this day in 1971 David Bowie released Hunky Dory. 53 yrs later, it still stands up as a Masterpiece. #Bowie #Changes #BowieForever #DavidBowie
