The first one is from a photo in a movie mag. Defiance, if you care. The rest are out of my fevered head.

A Big Whack of Stuff
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketches, washMet with my friends at the bar last evening. Collaborated with a few sketches, which you see above and below. James up there was drawn by me, and inked by Rick Gagnon.

Post Jam
By Jack in colour, Montreal Comic Jam, sketches, wash, watercolourI started a couple of comic pages at last Night’s Montreal Comic Jam, but you can’t see them because they were packed away, and I didn’t take my handy little digital camera to take snaps of them, or of the jam participants, for that matter. So you’ll have to be content with this little doodle [...]

John Updike
By Jack in books, literature, writingLink to New York Times Obituary I grew up with his writing. At one time, tried to read everything he wrote. That would be difficult, considering his rate of production. Still, with all his faults, and his establishmentarianism, he was one of my heroes.

City Quartet
By Jack in colour, watercolourI don’t know what to say about this one. Maybe just back away, slowly. Actually, I like pictures full of silly characters. This one measures 10″x13″, if anyone cares.

Watercolour Things
By Jack in cats, colour, sketches, watercolourA little at sixes and sevens this weekend, and drawing helps me relax. I’m not going to identify the pair up above, because fans of celebrities on the internet are sometimes crazy, and will go to silly lengths being rude trying to preserve their imaginary relationships with their idols. I might tell you more stories [...]

Gagnon and Marr Minus One
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketchesIf last week’s drawing and drinking session at the Cock N’ Bull carried on without me, this one started and finished without any of my input at all. I was sick, and had to beg off and stay home. Never mind, Richard Gagnon and Marr drew up a storm without me. Judging from these pictures [...]

Untitled
By Jack in colour, sketches, watercolourI like the kinda rough, dashed-off quality of these. And also the texture of the paper in the scan. It looks like old skin.

Gator
By Jack in colour, pencil, sketchesThis cat looks unhappy, even though he’s showing off the most wonderful ‘gator. Hope he’s not trapped in there, but the animal seems placid enough.

Odds and Ends
By Jack in collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Marr, Richard Gagnon, sketches, watercolourI don’t know. Maybe tomorrow I’ll bother using some perspective. At least I might be in a better mood about things. In the meantime, there’s this snap of a drawing by Marr and Rick Gagnon from last week, which I forgot. Lovely fingernails, by the way.

People and Planes
By Jack in planes, sketches, watercolourStuff I enjoy painting. This is supposed to be a DeHavilland DH98 Mosquito, the best plane ever! These used to fly out of Calgary, my old home town.

TV People
By Jack in sketches, watercolourJust a couple of TV people. What more to say? Talking about drawing sometimes spoils it.
