Watching Do The Right Thing on DVD and drawing. Not really portraits of people, just types.

The Cat Is Listening…
By Jack in Animals, black and white, cats, colour, horses, sketchesThe cat is listening, a guy is sitting on a horse without stirrups, and the poor beknighted kid from the movie Into the Wild is being stalked by a cuddly, harmless grizzly.

Behind on Blogging
By Jack in Animals, black and white, cats, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Nora the cat, Richard Gagnon, sketchesWild people. Drawing by me, inks by Rick. Don’t get me wrong. I love my blog. I can express stuff here and gas on about things, and look at my funny sketches. Who cares that only about 30 people a day visit the thing. But busy computer-related work (websites and writing) takes its toll of [...]

Slew of New Sketches
By Jack in Animals, black and white, dogs, pencil, sketches, womenSometimes I wait a while and then post a lot of sketches I’ve done, but didn’t post, for whatever reason. Nice not to have to look at my friend’s death notice first thing when I visit the blog, however.

Back to Gagnon Fridays
By Jack in black and white, collaboration, Gagnon Fridays, Richard Gagnon, sketchesIt’s been too long, but last night I was drinking with my friend Richard Gagnon, and doing silly drawings. He usually inks things that I’ve drawn. Gives me new ideas about where to place black and whites, etc. I’m feeling a little burnt at the moment, so am just going to post these, to get [...]

Just some sketching
By Jack in Animals, black and white, cats, Nora the cat, sketchesLike the title says. I’ve started a new contract, and have been a little distracted. Also some sad news, which I’ll blog later, when I’m ready. Still, hope you like crazy sketches of cats and whatnot.

2160 rue Bordeaux
By Jack in Montreal, photosPiece of gyproc wall I photographed. It had been tossed out after renovations. Sorry I didn’t take a shot of the building. Maybe I’ll go back and get that. As i was doing this, a couple of guys walked by muttering words that included “kodak” and “malade” (crazy). I guess that’s accurate. Anyhow, here’s the [...]
