Dinos

By in sketches, watercolor, watercolour

I’m actually glad the more recent reconstructions of Tyrannosaurus Rex aren’t as feathery as they were a few years back, when I drew these things. Mainly I’m posting this because I noticed I hadn’t posted anything this year yet, so I wanted to keep the blog more or less fresh. I am paying for the […]

Ninja Turtle

By in sketches

This is actually just a sketch of a guy in the metro I’ve embellished a little. I don’t get much time to draw in the metro, and I certainly can’t watercolour. But it’s fun to play with things in my book, after the fact.

Professor Smellie

By in sketches

Digital Drawring. I’m better at the Clip Studio Paint now. And it seems to do all the things my old pirated Photoshop used to. This guy looks a little like Patrick Stewart.

Jack R.’s Patreon

By in sketches

I haven’t been able to put this on the sidebar of my site. But I’ve created a Patreon Page. People can visit it, see cool stuff maybe you can’t see here, and make contributions and such-like. It’s what artists are doing these days. You can also write me and ask for a commission. A watercolour […]

Skinny Nameless Punk

By in sketches

My comic strip I created with Richard Gagnon has flown the coop for the moment. I think I need to update my “comicpress” theme, and am afraid they want money from now on. Still, I’m working on it, and in the meanwhile, I did a little drawing of him to practice my digital drawing skills.

Yelling People!

By in color, Coloured Pencils, heads, pencil, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, women

I have to update my blog, template and all, to add new, modern things. I hope not a ton of pop-ups, etcetera. Still, this is a recent sketchbook page I actually worked on today! I’m setting up a Patreon link, and also have a cool illustration thing I’m going to share soon! Please stay tuned!

Newish Pages

By in ballpoint pen, black and white, brush pen, color, horses, men, pencil, sketches

Newish sketchbook pages. You know, I used to put up a drawing every day, and felt unhappy if I didn’t. But these days, while I’m still drawing a lot, I’m not blogging as much. Social Media is strange. I loved Twitter, but they seem to be doing as much as they can to ruin it. […]

Old Me

By in Gouache, heads, men, self-promotion, sketches

Old old self-portrait. Mid 2000’s, I think.

QE Health

By in ballpoint pen, black and white, sketches

  Sketches from the waiting room of the Queen Elizabeth Health Centre in Montreal. I was there to accompany a friend. No one seems to mind me doing this. Cat and maus are imaginary….

Gene Luen Yang

By in black and white, cats, collaboration, comics, sketches

Back in the early 2000s, I got to do a workshop at Montreal’s Blue Metropolis Book Festival with the great Gene Luen Yang. A movie adaptation of his graphic novel American Born Chinese is currently coming out. The book the movie is based on is an amazing exploration of being young and having a Chinese […]

Random Sketchbook Page

By in heads, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour

Like, from about 2018 or 19? I used to put these up when I did them. But got out of the habit, what with Facebook and all taking over from personal blogs…..
