Strange Beach, and Comic Con ‘Crastination

By in men, sketches, women

I’m still messing around trying to learn my video editing program, so I can upload a spiff little production of all the neat chats with artists I did at the Montreal Comic Con this past weekend. It’s pretty complicated, and I’m pretty busy at the mo. In the meantime, glom with your eyes this picture […]

Montreal Comic Con 2010

By in montreal

Please check my set of still photos from this year’s Montreal Comic Con. I’m still messing around with the videos, and will upload those in a later post. This maybe serves as a taster, and I know people will want to see the photos.

Saturday in the Park

By in men, montreal, ruttan's place, watercolour, women

I’m behind in my blogging, as usual. September seems to be a whirl of events and parties. While my health is back (for now!) it’s hard to get out to everything. I promised to record a few of these, so here we are. These are shots and sketches from the weekend party in Mederic Martin […]

Frosh Week

By in men, watercolour, women

The other day I was walking downtown near the French University on Saint Denis street. They’re having Frosh week, which means crowds of kids wearing sacks and funny hats, made to do humiliating things. One of those was to beg for change near where actual poor people do, on Ste. Catherine street. I’m afraid I […]

Exercise

By in cats, sketches, watercolour

This looks a little different form my usual thing, because I was doing an exercise from a watercolour book. That means copying another artist’s strokes as closely as possible. I learn stuff from this, but hate doing it. Took some snaps below, so you can see the book, and the reference. I’m also bored by […]

Sitting in the Park

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

Not painting stuff I’m seeing in the park, however. That’s mostly kids and dogs. Fine subjects. But for another day.

Recovery

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

Been sick these last few days. Drew some stuff, of course. Mostly this evening, when I was feeling better. Could add more blood splats, I suppose.

More junk I’ve been drawing

By in horses, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Haven’t had all that much time, so I’m putting up some odds and ends I’ve drawn. The aging guy heads were copied, more or less, from the book Drawing People, by Barbara Bradley. Flying things, and a nerdy kid. An old-fashioned “War of the Worlds” tripod, and a farmer’s cart. Why? I have no idea.

Colour Comic Time

By in horses, watercolour

For some reason, these take about as long as the black and white ones! Going to try and do more. They’ll probably make more sense, get more relaxed as I go along. I’ve got a pile of stories. Just haven’t drawn (or painted) them, yet. This one come out of my head as I was […]

Fun With a Pencil

By in men, sketches, women

Pencil drawings, coloured and otherwise. The title of the post is the title of one of those great old Andy Loomis art technique books. But one I don’t have.

August Montreal Comic Jam

By in horses, sketches, watercolour

After missing a couple of nights, I finally made it to the monthly Montreal Comic Jam. Took pictures, but now I’m lazy, and put them into a slide show. You can actually click on photos as they pass by above to read info about who’s in them, etc. Enthused about watercolour, I brought my set […]

Keep Kicking that Can Around

By in sketches, watercolour

Was pretty down today, but doing this cheered me up. Just left blank bubbles and squares, then filled them in with whatever. Mainly according to songs I was listening to on the shuffle.
