Always sketching: busy hands. I added her dress pattern via photoshop. Yay, C’boys! One of them is vaguely Francis Ford Coppola, director of the Godfather films:

Off Model?
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenStill sketching. Inspired by McCabe & Mrs. Miller. I love the ragged, cheap, but beautiful aesthetic in the film. [look out: spoilers ahoy!] The director said it might have made more money if the Warren Beatty character had been rescued by Julie Christie in the end. But the couple hardly got together at all over […]

KirDok
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesToday seems to be a superhero comics type of day, at least on the blog. I was flailing around, writing stuff, mainly messing around on the web, and twittering. I tend to do this, then focus down on something worthwhile. But for the time being, it’s often all up in the air. Anyhow, a twitter […]

That’s Super, Supergirl.
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, womenNot drawing a lot right now. Well, a little bit. Working on stuff, honest! Not just creepy pictures of superheroines.

Going Graphic
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesBusy again, which is good. I’m doing some logo, graphic design things, which is new for me. I sketched this little version of my black and white cat, Nora which I like.

Watercolour Crowd
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenWorking on stuff. Depressed over the earthquake in Haiti. Found time to do some watercolours. But they’re hard, still no system of how to do them. Actually, though they don’t always turn out the way I want them too (part of my brilliant system of not thinking before I start anything), I really enjoy doing […]

More coloured pen faces
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesThe scanner seems to like the coloured pen colours better than the more usually respectable watercolours I do. Except there’s not a good yellow in coloured pen ink. So, I used a yellow pencil.

Friendly Nazi
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesIt’s the friendly Nazis you have to watch out for. I’m wondering, if they invaded this town tomorrow, which people I know would be collaborators, would hide people under floorboards, or would be on the trains themselves? And what would I do? Afraid I’d just muddle through, presenting papers when asked. Probably get into trouble […]

Ball Point Pen Girl
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesThis is kind of cool, if deranged. Drawn with a set of colour ball point pens. Reminds me a little of Louis Wain’s cats, but I haven’t completely gone around the bend yet. Writing an odd script for a science fiction comic story. It would be nice to finish that, and actually do something of […]

Lhasa de Sela
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketches, watercolour, womenGoing to miss Lhasa de Sela. Not that I played her music a lot around here, but I always paused when La Lorona or one of her other haunting numbers came on the radio, or played at a friend’s place. Kind of a female version of Leonard Cohen, at least in the sultry romantic aspect […]
