I sketch a lot more than I put up here. Thought it was time for some of those. Mainly out of my head, while watching DVDs, or live, in some cases. Those always make the best poses.

Woman in a Bikini
By Jack in colour, digital, Pen & Ink, sketches, womenYes, she’s in a bikini, but she’s got a personality, so I don’t think she’s just being an object. This is another drawing, in real ink this time, which I coloured with the computer.

Roller Pen Drawings
By Jack in ballpoint pen, black and white, Pen & Ink, sketches, womenCould call these “Pen and Ink,” but that seems too grand. The titles become dull also, because of the idea of putting something plainly descriptive in so search engines can find them.

Pen and Ink Cats, etc.
By Jack in Animals, cats, men, Pen & Ink, sketches, watercolour, womenMr. Boggedy only WISHES he could catch rats! It’s a pain thinking up clever titles for these posts of sketches, so I’m just going for the search engines! Here’s my old pal, Howard Shore (with a random DVD lady): Bonus! A woman pointing! Is she actually wearing anything, or am I just lazy? Could have [...]

Eric Drooker at Drawn & Quarterly
By Jack in Activism, current events, Montreal, Pen & Ink, photos, sketchesThe other night I went up to the Drawn & Quarterly bookstore on Bernard Street, in the vaguely trendy area of Mile End in Montreal. Amazingly got a seat right by the lectern, with a view of the screen, as below. Drooker’s event was billed as a Workshop on Art and Activism, but it was [...]

A Utopian Moment
By Jack in black and white, colour, men, Pen & Ink, sketches, watercolour, womenSomebody asked me where the name “Utopia Moment” came from. It’s something I made up, when I was in a Brian Eno type of mood (he likes to give enigmatic titles to his pieces). I think it refers to the instant when everything feels perfect; but it’s so fleeting it’s hard to grab onto and [...]

New Stuff…
By Jack in Animals, cats, colour, men, Nora the cat, Pen & Ink, sketches, watercolour, women.. but somehow the same. Sigh. If anyone cares, that strange object in the upper right-hand corner is a doodle of an Italian drinking fountain I made to illustrate an anecdote to someone. Coloured it in.

People Sitting

Pleistocene Panic
By Jack in ballpoint pen, cartoons, comics, current events, Pen & InkI was freaking out over current events, and looking at a candle flame in my Swedish Lantern. Thought of this story, and drew it all in one night. I wonder if this argument actually took place long ago? Here’s a bonus Rachel Maddow:

New theme, same old drawings.
By Jack in black and white, Brush Pen, colour, men, Pen & Ink, sketches, watercolour, womenFinally chose a new theme I like for the blog. It wasn’t easy! It will take me a while to get used to this one, but at least all the little details seem to work. On the old one, that wasn’t the case. I still might change the font for the headings, if my meagre [...]

Alsatian
By Jack in Animals, Brush Pen, colour, dogs, men, Montreal, Pen & Ink, watercolour, womenThe drawings look more realistic when copied from photographs. My problem is, it’s boring to draw from photographs. I’m painting shapes rather than trying to think around an object. Oh, I just remembered. Drew some sketches on the metro the other day. These to me are the best faces. I don’t know they have a [...]

Pen ‘n Ink
By Jack in Animals, black and white, Brush Pen, horses, men, Pen & Ink, sketches, womenI’ve been messing around with vectors and other things, managing not to post. But here’s a drawing drawed with a good old fashioned dip pen (with brush pen outlines): And a brush pen horse. Trying to catch that equine grace:
