quickdraw jackdaw

At the café in Richmond Park, jackdaws fly round the tables hunting for food left by customers.  One perched on the back of a chair next to me and I managed a quick drawing.

the Runs of Brixton

‘Legacy’ was a word much bandied about in the Olympic summer. 

Saturday saw the locals of Brixton in south London start their own tradition by staging the first ‘Brixton Bolt’ sprint event.

In a street near the bustling market, overlooked by the railway arches, young and old competed for the title of the fastest in Brixton.  

Waiting to race.

On your marks!

The runners were way too fast to draw, so here’s a spectator to finish with.

Continuing my drawings from summer photos taken when the Olympic torch passed through south-east London.  

I'm planning to scan them into Photoshop and then work out a possible compositions before starting the illustration.
