I like this one. It’s fast and fashiony. Of course not all of these brushy things hit it off. Below, the usual fine-point roller pen:

New Things
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenPainted a ton of little pictures I’m pretty happy with. Above, is Mr. Boggedy on the balcony. Serious Guy. That’s also the view from my Balcony, but he’s just imaginary. More funny little pictures. The edges are masked with painter’s tape. The green type with slightly less tack, which can be “left on for 60 […]

The Power of Free Beer
By Jack Ruttan in montrealDidn’t see many of my usual English language blogging buddies at the special Yulblog event last Tuesday. That might have been because it was a day earlier than the usual monthly get-together, and also in a special venue, L’Assoimoir on Notre Dame, just West of the Cathedral in Old Montreal. Might also have been because […]

May Comic Jamming, Arthur, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourThe last Thursday in May means the Monthly Montreal Comic Jam. I actually worked on some pages of comics, but it’s more of a get-together for local artists, to share and show off, and also collaborate on things. I got my bud Rick Gagnon to colour this picture of mine above, which turned out swell. […]

Belated Burlesque
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, womenI’m sorry, I’ve been a bit out of it, because of the unseasonal heat, and health complaints. Still sitting around, drawing, and twittering. Above is what I was drawing last Wednesday, at the monthly performance of Blue Light Burlesque. Mostly little bits and pieces. People moving, removing clothing (!) in the dark. Working on some […]

Colourful Day
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenWent to the park at East Mont Royal Ave today. Mont Royal used to be a working class street, with taverns and fast food restaurants. Now, with the emergence of the Plateau as a trendy neighbourhood, it’s a place where people go to be seen. So, I thought I’d draw some of them. The dog […]

Oliphaunts, Etc.
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourToday, a picture of Queen Suriyothai (a Thai cultural heroine) atop her elephant, or “Oliphaunt” in this case. And below, a taste of my mood lately, sometimes. Hoping to cheer up!

Animules, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolour, womenI just like the colour. Lotsa work to do, and I’ve been slacking off. The usual worries, but I hope things will be all right.

Cafe Day
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenHung out at the café yesterday, and drew a lot of stuff. Here’s some of it. That guy wasn’t grey before. He was sort of dark, but then I added blue. The magic of accident! Girl, with bixi bike in background.

Finding My Way
By Jack Ruttan in horses, men, sketches, watercolour, womenGot some work to do. Just finding my way with a lot of drawings. I’m putting most of them up. My commissions don’t call for watercolour, but if I can do things right in that, I can also handle the black and white. i like my new watercolour book, and also how things look in […]

Painting up a Storm
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenLotsa little watercolours lately. These are fun to do, and look more sophisticated than my usual production. It’s true that the more you do, the better you get at it. If I stop, it often takes a few lousy pictures before I get up to speed again. A big part of it seems to be […]
