Fillin’ in pages

By in men, sketches, women

This is my black and white book, which doesn’t take colour all that well (except when it’s all I’ve got!). Still, it’s fun to draw in black and white with the brush pen, and various roller pens. Not as elite as the dip pen, however. But still pleasant to scratch back and forth, making those […]

January Montreal Comic Jam

By in sketches

Something a little different. JM Ken Niimura shows off his sketchbook (actually, divided among 5 artists) at last night’s Montreal Comic Jam. Rick Gagnon is there in the background. You can follow along, and discover these artists’ websites. Thanks to JM they are (in order): Enrique Lorenzo: http://enriquelorenzo.blogspot.com/ JM Ken Niimura:http://niimurablog.blogspot.com/ Alfonso Salazar: http://alfonso-salazar.blogspot.com/ Christian […]

Office Worker

By in sketches, watercolour, women

Saw this pose on a poster for a play the other day, and drew my memory of it.

Women in Bathing Suits, etc.

By in sketches, watercolour, women

I’ve not been drawing tons. Trying to settle back into things, and relax. Cartoonists on Twitter are helping me do this, mainly through examples of their work. The figure in blue is mainly copied from a Love and Rockets comic panel. I think i like getting more into cartoony oddness, but enjoy trying to make […]

The Apparition of These Faces in the Crowd…

By in men, sketches, women

…Petals on a wet, black bough. Face sketches I’ve been doing, on the Metro, and at parties. Sometimes from TV!

More Gag Panels

By in Uncategorized

I think there are more, but I can’t find them. Should have pretended I was reprinting them from some long-dead Men’s or Family magazine. And this popped up on Twitter just as I was writing this post, and I can’t resist: http://mikelynchcartoons.blogspot.com/2011/01/saturday-evening-post-scrapbook-part-24.html

Gag Cartoons 1

By in Uncategorized

I wrote and drew a few gag cartoons, which my pal Rick Gagnon inked in his usual impeccable way. We submitted them to Reader’s Digest, who wasn’t bowled over, so they found a home in Rick’s zine, and now are here on the web. Jeff Leblanc did the masthead. Hey, I was aiming for humour […]

Metro Colour

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

Still really haven’t gotten the blog back on its wheels since the holiday break. I have a host of excuses! Mainly busy with work and stuff. But there are some interesting things coming up! That’s if I’m not distracted by twitter, or doing meaningless graphics in illustrator. Happy to be making at least a little […]

Coffee

By in Uncategorized

Today’s strip is called “Coffee.” I think it was inspired by this machine at the Ontario Science Centre, that said the word “coffee,” and you could alter the inflection by turning a knob so that it sounded like a question. I wonder if that machine is still around? This was originally published in my friend […]

Cats and the Creative Process

By in cats

Here’s another of those old strips of mine. Worked on at the comic jam, mainly by Rick Gagnon, over my scribbly pencils. Hence the odd faces here and there. Still funny, though. I’m running out of these, but have a few more tricks up my sleeve before I’ll have to start drawing stuff again.

Mistake Boy

By in Uncategorized

Another old comic. I was in a bad mood when I did this one. Sarcasm helps.

Social Darwinism

By in Uncategorized

Another old comic from 1994 or so. More completely inked by Gagnon, but this was before he had completely figured out my style, I think. I’ll do more new comics, I promise!
