They Carried on Without me!
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesI was pretty tired last night, so I retired early from the bar. My friends stuck around, but were soon chased away by the band setting up. They, however, went down the hill to R. Gagnon’s place, and kept drawing. Rick sent me evidence via e-mail of what happened. This looks like Rick a bit, […]

More Friday Fun and Frolic
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesAbove is the brilliant job Rick Gagnon did colouring Marr’s (Michael Arsenault’s) drawing from last week during our usual Friday night meeting at the Cock N’ Bull bar. But this wasn’t quite so usual, because instead of “Gagnon Friday,” this one could be called Gagnon, Marr, Simmons, Leblanc (and Ruttan) Friday. Below, Marr and Gagnon […]

Eccentric Farm Scene
By Jack Ruttan in horses, sketches, watercolourA woman in an evening dress really has nothing to do with a guy leading a horse around, but that’s what you get when you start drawing on a big sheet of watercolour paper. At least this stuff is a little more resistant to “cockling” than my usual sketchbook paper, even though it’s not stretched. […]

I’ve been memed, and lived to tell the tale.
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesThis post is a tough one, but at least I get to post Lucy: I don’t really like these gimmicks, but the person who did it to me has been extra cool, lately, so I couldn’t disappoint. Internet Tag – as follows: One: Link to the person who tagged you. Here. Two: Post the rules. […]

Car Group
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourThese are just some people who existed in pencil in the sketchbook. I corrected them a little, and then added watercolours. The paper is thin, so it crinkled, but there you go. The little cat is angry when I’m painting, and not paying attention to her, so unfortunately she has to be shut out while […]

Oops … Just One More

Friday’s Collaborations Continued

Above, Rick Gagnon and I inked Marr’s collection of puppet creatures. I’d love to see this in colour. Below, a man drawn by Marr and inked by Rick, in a pose not found in […]

Another Collaborative Friday
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourWatercolour of a Howard Cosell-kind of guy by me, with blacks by Rick. Well, this is the first of my Friday evenings with friends at the bar drawing a lot of stuff to be recorded on this blog. To follow the history of how “Gagnon Fridays” turned out (the name less accurate now that Marr […]

Victorian Couple
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesOh, to be back in the old days, when men were men and women were modest, and you could be carried off at a moment’s notice by scarlet fever, or any number of ghastly diseases.
