Henry Lehman
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedSad to hear about the death of Henry Lehman. You can read about it on the Fagstein blog here, along with some writing by him. There weren’t many art writers working in English in Montreal. So, during the few times I ran into him, at an art opening, or on the street, we could chat […]

Comic Jamming, and State of Emergency
By Jack Ruttan in montrealOff to the Monthly Montreal Comic Jam the other night. But first there was a big event happening across the street. I took some video with my little camera: Got one of the volunteers in the information booth to explain what was going on. Nice siren in the background, which fits with the name of […]

Tiny Pic-tures

Arty Neighours
By Jack Ruttan in montrealThere were a number of art-related events happening right under my nose here in Centre Sud Montreal. So I snapped a few pictures, dutiful type that I am. It’s a chance to see what one’s arty neighbours are doing. Just a few steps from my front door, I happened on the sign above. (As usual, […]

Back to Business
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesAfter all that interesting real stuff, back to sketches. I drew this after the computer hung up while putting up the message that it was “negotiating” a video link. You know that if it takes time for this to happen, it’s not going to happen. Still, the word gave me this impression of frantic appeals […]

Expozine Sunday – More Strangeness
By Jack Ruttan in montrealThis pic seems to encapsulate for me the oddness and fun of Expozine. I get totally overstimulated by the art and whackiness of it all. Anyhow, this year, exhausted by taking pictures of all the people and their stuff in previous years, I tried something different. My little camera took good videos, so I tried […]

Expozine 2009
By Jack Ruttan in montrealMade it to Expozine Saturday. Pretty overwhelming. Didn’t do my usual thing of snapping and talking to a lot of the people there, but the place was packed with artists and writers. Did a little video you can see below of turning in a circle with my camera: Took some shots of comic artists I […]

Black Ballpoint
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesThese are black ballpoint drawings in my moderately small sketchbook. Mainly drawn in bed, actually. I wonder if anyone else does this?

Business Guys
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourNot too much comment needed here. This was done on the back of another drawing. I’m in a bit of a lull at the moment, after recent traumatic stuff. So, taking the opportunity to relax at little. So, there will probably be more drawings, etc. Pictures of cats? Maybe so. You can only hope.

Back from the Funeral
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedWe had the funeral for my Dad today, at Christ Church, our old family church in Calgary. A very nice Anglican Service. Lots of hymns, and I felt about 13 years of age trying to sing with them. The key was never right, and I was either grumbling basso, or trying to do falsetto. Never […]
