Something 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 [...]

August Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack in Animals, black and white, collaboration, colour, comics, horses, Jeff Leblanc, Marr, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard Gagnon, sketches, watercolourAfter missing a couple of nights, I finally made it to the monthly Montreal Comic Jam. Took pictures, but now I’m lazy, and put them into a slide show. You can actually click on photos as they pass by above to read info about who’s in them, etc. Enthused about watercolour, I brought my set [...]

Nod, and Look Sympathetic
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Jeff Leblanc, Marr, Montreal Comic Jam, photos, Richard Gagnon, sketchesFear of a pandemic grips the planet. Economic collapse has put millions out of work. Outside the window of the Cock and Bull Bar, an angry throng marches down the street for May Day, carrying red and black flags, shouting for justice and revolution. I feel suddenly like I’m in Paris, 1968. I tried to [...]

They Live!
By Jack in collaboration, Film & TV, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesMore pics drawn collaboratively at the Cock N’ Bull bar on Friday night. Sadly, my friend Marr wasn’t there, but Rick and I drew some choice items. The one above, by both of us, based on the John Carpenter movie, makes me smile every time I look at it. Then there’s Erich Von Stroheim, drawn [...]

Heads
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesBack to the bar, with Rick and Marr. Again, Marr did some drawings in his own little sketchbook, but I didn’t get snaps. Rick and I drew heads. Above is werewolf Orson Welles, by me, inked by Rick. Below, Leonard Cohen-like bar guy, drawn by Rick and inked my me. But I did that later, [...]

Saint Patrick’s Rapscallionry
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesSaint Patrick’s day has come and gone, but the parade is today. So, last night, they were getting ready the green food colouring for the beer at the Cock N’ Bull pub. And I was drawing mildly salacious scenes happening around me and my friends Rick and Marr. Rick inked these, or in the case [...]

Beers and Drawings
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesMore drawing from the other night, meeting with friends at the Cock N’ Bull bar. Rick Gagnon was there. Marr was there, too, but he didn’t stay long enough to draw anything. Still, Rick was able to ink things like this drawing above of mine of one of the servers. Below is my drawing, embellished [...]

Friday Fun
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesLoads of graphical play last night with friends at the Cock N’ Bull Bar. Rick and Marr were also doing crosswords, but those are much less interesting to look at. Above is my interpretation of some pool-playing characters, with a few lines and patches of black added by Rick. Below is Rick’s more graphical version [...]

More Fridays
By Jack in black and white, cats, collaboration, colour, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketches, watercolourMore Friday evening stuff, back at the bar. Above is a drawing by Marr which I watercoloured, and dressed up the people to make a 1960s scene, like I remember from Yorkville, Toronto’s glory days. Below is sort of by all three of us. I did two characters, Marr did a character (on the left), [...]

The Jam happens every last Thursday of the month at the pub, 1944 Saint Catherine Street west (Metro: Guy), around 8 pm.

Back With the Gang
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesThe Gang in this case is me, Rick Gagnon, and Marr. Did a pile of drawings, at our usual haunt, the Cock N’ Bull, after 5 pm. Fridays. That’s happy hour until 7! Rick and I finished the above drawing last, but of course it was the most elaborate one, so it goes up first. [...]

Wait, There’s More
By Jack in collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesMore drawings yet. There’s always one or two I seem to miss, back in the book. Above is my drawing with Rick’s expert dry-brushing. I wish I had made Orson bigger. He’s being taken to one of his later voice-over gigs. Maybe Optimus Prime in The Transformers. Below, the woman from last week has gained [...]

More Friday Night Stuff
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesMore collaborative hijinks at the bar last night. This time, not so many drawings. I love the one above by Marr and R. Gagnon, with gun added by Yours Truly. Below is by Marr and I: Rick drawing with his magic brush pen: Something by Marr and I. Rick didn’t like the water, and tried [...]

Faces, and Loose Ends
By Jack in collaboration, colour, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketches, watercolourA few faces I did last night. The ones up above start with a base of some colour or another. Then I go at it with that colour as a theme. The guy below was painted with a dry brush that was pretty saturated with paint, if that makes sense. Most of these are done [...]
