This weekend is the 10th edition of Expozine, the Montreal zine and independent comics fair. It’s a big weekend for me, as it seems that most of the people I know in my scene are there. I’ve done little roving reporter visits with my camera, interviewing people in the past. With all of these comics [...]

March 2011 Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack in collaboration, comics, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard GagnonI was a little out of sorts at this month’s comic jam. Didn’t have a story to tell in comics, so just drew in my book as below. Rick Gagnon, my old collaborator, finished the last panel. The creature at middle right was a plastic animal the service left to mark where an order of [...]

January Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack in Montreal Comic Jam, sketchesSomething a little different. JM Ken Niimura shows off his sketchbook (actually, divided among 5 artists) at last night’s Montreal Comic Jam. Rick Gagnon is there in the background. You can follow along, and discover these artists’ websites. Thanks to JM they are (in order): Enrique Lorenzo: http://enriquelorenzo.blogspot.com/ JM Ken Niimura:http://niimurablog.blogspot.com/ Alfonso Salazar: http://alfonso-salazar.blogspot.com/ Christian [...]

More Gag Panels
By Jack in black and white, cartoons, collaboration, Richard GagnonI think there are more, but I can’t find them. Should have pretended I was reprinting them from some long-dead Men’s or Family magazine. And this popped up on Twitter just as I was writing this post, and I can’t resist: http://mikelynchcartoons.blogspot.com/2011/01/saturday-evening-post-scrapbook-part-24.html

Gag Cartoons 1
By Jack in cartoons, collaboration, Jeff Leblanc, Richard GagnonI wrote and drew a few gag cartoons, which my pal Rick Gagnon inked in his usual impeccable way. We submitted them to Reader’s Digest, who wasn’t bowled over, so they found a home in Rick’s zine, and now are here on the web. Jeff Leblanc did the masthead. Hey, I was aiming for humour [...]

Coffee
By Jack in comics, Richard GagnonToday’s strip is called “Coffee.” I think it was inspired by this machine at the Ontario Science Centre, that said the word “coffee,” and you could alter the inflection by turning a knob so that it sounded like a question. I wonder if that machine is still around? This was originally published in my friend [...]

Cats and the Creative Process
By Jack in Animals, cats, collaboration, comics, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard GagnonHere’s another of those old strips of mine. Worked on at the comic jam, mainly by Rick Gagnon, over my scribbly pencils. Hence the odd faces here and there. Still funny, though. I’m running out of these, but have a few more tricks up my sleeve before I’ll have to start drawing stuff again.

Mistake Boy
By Jack in comics, Montreal Comic JamAnother old comic. I was in a bad mood when I did this one. Sarcasm helps.

Social Darwinism
By Jack in collaboration, comics, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard GagnonAnother old comic from 1994 or so. More completely inked by Gagnon, but this was before he had completely figured out my style, I think. I’ll do more new comics, I promise!

That Whistling Guy
By Jack in collaboration, comics, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard GagnonI’ve been taking it slow over the holidays. Not doing too much. A lot of pencil drawings on scrap paper I’m not going to bother to scan. Getting back into working on things, though. One part of that effort was to go into my archives, and rescue some old strips which might be good, but [...]

Les 48 heures de la bande dessinée de Montréal
By Jack in cartoons, collaboration, comics, Montreal, photos, workshopI was at the above-named event today. Plenty of cartoonists, plenty of cartoons. A surprise for me, because I didn’t know many of them. The Montreal comics scene is indeed diverse. The first day, Saturday, is devoted to creating strips: cartoonists are paired up to produce these. Sunday is for displaying the finished work to [...]

Animal Gladiators
By Jack in Animals, comics, dogs, Montreal Comic Jam, watercolourThis is a comic I drew in about 10 minutes at the last Comic Jam. Then it took me about 4 days to decide what colours to put in. Enjoy!

October Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack in collaboration, colour, comics, Jeff Leblanc, Marr, men, Montreal, Montreal Comic Jam, photos, Richard Gagnon, sketches, watercolourSomething special for this month’s comic jam. Pierre Landry from CBC Radio came and interviewed us about the comic jam. Maybe this is a result of the press attention we got in the Gazette a couple of weeks ago. Here are some snaps from the Jam, including the interview: And you can listen to the [...]

Ruttan Gets His 15 Mins
By Jack in collaboration, comics, Montreal Comic JamHey, my cartoons and those of some of my pals got mentioned in the Montreal Gazette today. [link] They even published a link to my site. That means I’ll have to update the Skinny Nameless Punk as well as put up some more stuff.
