Gypsy Ways
Hello! Found this lovely animated video, 'Gypsy Ways', on the Travellers Times website, I believe it was produced in association with Isaac and the Romani arts and Culture Company.
"Gypsy Ways is a film made with young people from the Shirenewton Gypsy and Traveller site in Cardiff. It uses a combination of animation and live-action to follow the reminiscences of Laurel Price as she recalls growing up in a traditional Vardo and her life on Leckwith Common in Cardiff in the 1970′s before setting on the permanent site of Rover Way in the docklands of Cardiff."

Charles Byrd
A little bit of information about Charles Byrd.
Taken from: http://artinwales.250x.com/ArtistsBy.htm
Charles Byrd was born in 1916 in Pontypridd, Glamorgan. He is a self-taught painter, sculptor and kinetic artist. In 1948 he attended evening classes at Cardiff School of Art and in 1950 became a full-time artist.
Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s his work was typified by figurative, highly detailed paintings, with a fresh and naïve quality, depicting scenes of everyday life in and around Cardiff, where he has lived and worked all his life. A selection of paintings by the artist were donated by him to Cardiff Central Library. During the 1960s Byrd abandoned this style of work altogether, and experimented with abstract themes, eventually moving into kinetic sculpture, for which he is probably best known. His work is represented in many public collections throughout Wales and beyond (quoted from http://www.gtj.org.uk/en/item10/32277)
Both Paintings in Cardiff Library's collection can be found here:
