To decompress at Expozine, I drew and painted these people.

Expozine 2010
By Jack Ruttan in montrealHappy with how the video turned out, because I didn’t work that hard trying to get every little thing, or even amazing things. Leave that to other chroniclers. This is just my view of the show. I made sketches, which will be posted later, and I might also make an effort at identifying some of […]

Pair of Pairs
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolour, womenThis is a pair of a pair of things. The only connection is that they happened to be on the same pages with each other. Going to do more street scenes. They’re kind of boring, but when I do them I think of the buildings as having some emotion or attitude. This corner apartment above […]

Back to Jack
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, paintings, sketches, watercolour, womenFinished with the labour-intensive event chronicling for now, and back to boring little drawings. They don’t attract as many hits! Still, I’m very happy to have started using the Sony Vegas editing program, and mastered at least a few of the basics. (can’t imagine wanting to use many of those tacky special effects and wipes, […]

Les 48 heures de la bande dessinée de Montréal
By Jack Ruttan in montrealI was at the above-named event today. Plenty of cartoonists, plenty of cartoons. A surprise for me, because I didn’t know many of them. The Montreal comics scene is indeed diverse. The first day, Saturday, is devoted to creating strips: cartoonists are paired up to produce these. Sunday is for displaying the finished work to […]

The Rise of the Octo-Moose
By Jack Ruttan in montrealI visited this show last night, at Galerie Monastiraki. Wasn’t really sure what they were doing, whether it was a book, or a show, or what. Turned out to be art. Here are some snapshots: I also made videos where I chatted with the artists. Very pleased that I’ve begun to be able to use […]

Animal Gladiators
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, watercolourThis is a comic I drew in about 10 minutes at the last Comic Jam. Then it took me about 4 days to decide what colours to put in. Enjoy!

Crowded Sketch
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenLots of scribbly drawing with the roller pen, while watching the American election results on BBC via internet. And with mild dismay, but that’s what happens. Is America going down the tubes? We’ll see.

Getting Out of Here.
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBut not before I post some new junk, sort of comic related. First, a Daisy Mae: She sorts of fits into my trying to do “good girl” art, related to that burlesque project, which has kind of gone on hold for the moment. Then there’s this item I drew on a Twitter challenge. Unfortunately, I […]

De-Zombifying
By Jack Ruttan in men, paintings, watercolour, womenOne last zombie-related picture, painted on Hallowe’en night, appropriately enough. A tribute to Remy, the mohawked guy in the picture, whose gory stage makeups inspired me in this project in making regular people scary. It was quite an experience, exploring one’s morbid side. Also freedom in making pleasant faces look as disgusting as possible. A […]

October Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack Ruttan in men, montreal, sketches, watercolourSomething special for this month’s comic jam. Pierre Landry from CBC Radio came and interviewed us about the comic jam. Maybe this is a result of the press attention we got in the Gazette a couple of weeks ago. Here are some snaps from the Jam, including the interview: And you can listen to the […]

Phantasmagoria at Galerie Yves Laroche
By Jack Ruttan in montrealI visited the vernissage for this show last night, which was a lot of fun, perfect for Hallowe’en. An artist friend on twitter suggested I check it out. So I did and wasn’t disappointed. Did a little bit of a reporter thing, with my electronic devices: my tiny Lumix Camera, and my cigarette-lighter shaped voice […]

Fire Horse/Dog/Rhino Thing
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenWhen you’re wandering in dark places, always good to bring your fire-horse/dog/rhino pet. I suppose it’s an escaped Pokemon. This drawing below was on the back of the paper. I’m very cheap and don’t like wasting paper. Also, the question came up last night of where to store all these things. I don’t think they’re […]
