Summer was a madness because I got to travel to Belfast three days before the biggest wedding I’ve ever been to.

I spent time with my cousin and managed to draw so many pubs and coffee shops. If I go back…what should I draw next time?

Here’s a little story time from how I got on drawing at Rock the Boat Weekender over summer ☀️🎸🤘



Tom’s 40th Birthday was the reason I got the invite. It landed on the same weekend as the Festival and so he wanted an illustration of not only his friends and family but also of the Boathouse in Shardlow where he has been working for the last few years 🎉🎂

I got to meet Fox! He spent most of the day spraying people with a water gun and drinking Blackcurrant Fruit Shoots 💦🔫🧃

Connie was special because I got to talk to her about art and give her hope if she ever wants to become an Artist in the future🖌️🎨

I was sent on a special mission to draw the Boathouse’s pub mascot Kane and his owner Phill 🐕🐾

I got an unexpected surprise from a visitor called Eden. She not only wanted to be apart of the artwork that day but she also asked to help by drawing with me 👭

Her Mum took this photo and sent it to me 💕🎶

and then we got pictures together of our artwork 👩‍🎨🎨

Everyone made it in to the drawing ✍️

And I obviously had the best time this summer sketching 🇬🇧🌤️🍺

Who knew I’d go into business with Eden? She came over all curious, I met her family and got 10 minute to teach her how to draw ❤️👩‍🎨

Even got to put her and her signature into the artwork! Thank you Eden for making my experience drawing in Shardlow that much more memorable 🥹

I think it was my absolute honour to meet Connie at my latest Live Drawing Gig a few months back.

To see a mother encouraging her daughter to achieve her dreams and be able to share my experience as an Artist is the reason being in these spaces is so important. I won’t forget this Artwork that’s for sure 👩‍🎨🎨

I had just finished a grueling shift arguing with everyone in my full time job at a coffee shop.

It’s funny looking back at it now. I hated my 9 to 5. Everything in me wanted to give it up. All I’ve ever wanted is to draw. And when I was at my whits end. I’d taken 25 bin bags out and was covered in grease and soul crushing opinions. Just when my head was about to explode…my phone rings.

“Hey Gertie I saw your video with Yungblud and was amazed. He’s such a wonderful guy. I’m having a 40th Birthday in Shardlow in a months time. We host a Festival every year called Rock the Boat and we would all love for you to come and draw it if you’re keen.”

That night I thanked God for showing me that even if things seem bad…there’s always something to hope for. I didn’t end up loosing it in work that day. In fact, I got even. By booking the day off work and getting the first train to Derby.

Summer. Shandies and pub benches. Big dogs like Kane with their leads tied down to the umbrellas. Sleeping in the sun whilst a local band cover Stevie Knicks or Led Zepplin. Kids running around with ice creams and grannies tapping their feet in deck chairs.

Every year we take it for granted really. Caravan parks and camping with your family. Sleeping bag races and Water fights. “I know you are but what am I?” bellowing over the field. Counting down the summers until your younger years are up and it’s all faded away.

I sat and made a drawing of what British Summer feels like. To be surrounded by it all. And to cherish every moment. I also managed to convince Tom’s family to take me to a Derby County Football Match in between the drawing and dancing.

This drawing now hangs on the wall at the Boathouse in Shardlow. You can go and look at everyone who makes it great. A small pocket of the UK that makes you hold onto those long summer nights and great Rock Music.

Thank you Tom. Happy Birthday. This drawing felt like mine had come early.

I finally met HARRY KANE! The top goal scorer and professional woofer for The Boathouse, Shardlow ❤️🤣

Kane has been the mascot for the Shardlow Marina and Caravan area for years now and I’m so glad I got to put him and Phill into a drawing for the pub

Who knew I’d meet the legend himself Fox! and be able to put him into a drawing of mine.

I was asked to draw this by Tom for his 40th Birthday and what better way than to put all his friends and family in it too.

If anyone else wants to hire me, my line manager is now Fox so I’ll be taking booking through him thank you ❤️

Quite possibly the best family event I’ve drawn so far. Nothing quite like British Summer time with a pint in a b**r garden meeting new people and drawing them all ☀️✍️🎨

Learning how to draw together 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️

This art club will be about collaboration. Drawing with the wrong hand. Draw without lifting your pencil. Drawing only one line each and seeing what you can make. Drawing for fun and making up new and exciting ideas. Bring a pal. Meet some new ones. Get silly for two hours.
