I’m thinking of doing a limited edition postcard set of the better moleskine pieces. It’s just an idea inspired by some other people. It might be col to try something different. They will not be censored, of course! This is oils, total size approx 8” x 10” (20.3 x 25.4 cm). #rodluff #moleskine #nude #painting #oils #newcontemporaryart #painting

Moleskine drawing I finished up today, available on the store if you’re interested: http://rodluff.storenvy.com/products/10832013-astra-ii Had fun getting back to drawing. If you’re curious, it’s pencil, pastel, and ink. Total size is 5” x 8.25” ( 13 x 21 cm approx).
I can only apologise, profusely, for what I'm about to do. I hate myself for doing it, but I am about to mention the C-word.
Yes, as soon as you know, Christmas will be upon us. Well, for once, I've been thinking ahead and I've put this bumper pack of AJ goodies together just in time. This includes my book, 3 zines, bag, badges, postcards, greetings cards & stickers.
You can get your little mits on it HERE.
Sorry, again.

Here’s a drawing I finished up since my trip I’ve been getting back into the groove of drawing and felt like adding a little flavour from home with the kookaburra. Available here: http://rodluff.storenvy.com/products/10746342-kookaburra
For those curious, it’s on heavyweight Fabriano WC paper 640 gsm (300 lb). Measures 7.2” x 5.8” or 18.5 x 14.6 cm.Media includes Pencil, Pastel, Coloured Pencil, Acrylic, Iridescent Medium (liquitex).
Last weekend I had one of those perfectly creative weekends. The kind of weekend that I wish all weekends were like (does that sentence even make sense? Do those words even make a sentence?).
SATURDAY
As you may or may not know, I co-run Dr Sketchy Sheffield. You probably do, I certainly bang on about it enough. But, then why wouldn't I when we are THIS fabulous? This is what we created in the Backroom of a pub in Sheffield last Saturday.
When I say 'we' I'm talking about everyone who is involved in making these events happen, from myself and Lara, who run the shows, to the guys who play the music, take the photos, run the bar, the sketchers, and, of course, our amazing models. Just look how brilliant they are.
These girls are a Burlesque Dance Troupe who call themselves The Yorkshire Puddings. They've modelled for us before and they never fail to blow our socks off.
It has to be said, that I probably do less drawing than if I were just a sketcher, but there's something just as magical about creating the events as there is creating the drawings. Here's a couple of mine below, though, they don't always go to plan...
Big shout out to our Eric Murphy for these fantastic photos. You can see the whole set of them HERE.
I LOVE Dr Sketchy and look forward to another year of cooking up themes and making this sort of magic happen.
SUNDAY
On Sunday I got to do a lot more drawing. It was Urban Sketchers Yorkshire's 50th event, and myself and fellow sketcher, Paul Gent, loosely organised a sketchcrawl/pubcrawl/pubscrawl in Buxton. Paul made the map, above.
We started at 12 noon and went on into the evening. Just a lovely day, sketching my fellow sketchers.

Matt
Miriam
And, yes, we had to have a photo, to celebrate our 50th and, yes, I seem to be hiding.
So, all in all, a perfectly sketchy, creative weekend. It's hard for me to imagine that it is only the last, say, three years that I've been drawing out and about and with people. I spent so long at home, drawing alone, I couldn't be happier that this whole new world opened up to me when I stepped outside of my house to draw. You get good things from being people, and you learn so much too. Thanks to everyone I spent the weekend with. It was a pleasure.
Phew, I'm exhausted now. That was the longest blog post ever!
If you're interested in finding out more and, perhaps, joining us at either Dr Sketchy Sheffield or Urban Sketchers Yorkshire then get in touch with me and I'll fill you in on the details. Or, you can follow the links to our Facebook Groups and have a little look around, get to know us and maybe I'll sketch you soon!
