Been neglecting blogging a little, thanks to Twitter, and this new contract. But I’m still drawing stuff. Going to scan it and put it up, because that’s what I like doing. Here we are!

Street Seen
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolourThat’s a good title for the blog. I was on a bit of a break today, so I painted this picture of the street I live on. Bonus: Old lady!

New Post
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, watercolourBeen busy, not been blogging a lot. Not been drawing tons that I’m happy with. Not too thrilled with this, but it’s where my head’s been at. Good night!

Behind on Blogging
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesWild people. Drawing by me, inks by Rick. Don’t get me wrong. I love my blog. I can express stuff here and gas on about things, and look at my funny sketches. Who cares that only about 30 people a day visit the thing. But busy computer-related work (websites and writing) takes its toll of […]

Sonja Skarstedt
By Jack Ruttan in montrealI’ve been avoiding writing about this, because it hit me hard, when I heard about it last July 31. Didn’t want to announce it before the obituary came out, because I didn’t want to be the crow, the one bearing that news. Sad, because Sonja, along with her partner Geof, who ran Zymergy Magazine, plus […]

Worldcon Montreal, 2009 – what a night!
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketchesWent to my friend, Claude Lalumiere‘s launch, for his upcoming book of short stories: OBJECTS OF WORSHIP, at WORLDCON, the world Science Fiction / Fantasy convention, happening in Montreal this year. Funny, two-level suite at the Delta Hotel in downtown Montreal. So I shot this snap up top of Claude, and the book’s illustrator, Rupert […]

Back to Gagnon Fridays
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesIt’s been too long, but last night I was drinking with my friend Richard Gagnon, and doing silly drawings. He usually inks things that I’ve drawn. Gives me new ideas about where to place black and whites, etc. I’m feeling a little burnt at the moment, so am just going to post these, to get […]

Just some sketching
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesLike the title says. I’ve started a new contract, and have been a little distracted. Also some sad news, which I’ll blog later, when I’m ready. Still, hope you like crazy sketches of cats and whatnot.

2160 rue Bordeaux
By Jack Ruttan in montrealPiece of gyproc wall I photographed. It had been tossed out after renovations. Sorry I didn’t take a shot of the building. Maybe I’ll go back and get that. As i was doing this, a couple of guys walked by muttering words that included “kodak” and “malade” (crazy). I guess that’s accurate. Anyhow, here’s the […]

Park Sketching
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketches, watercolourNice day yesterday (not so much today!), so I took off on the bike. Sat in the park in the morning, and sketched. People were taking showers in the kiddies’ fountain you can see the edge of, at the left. (I think the fountain (which you can see in the link) was designed by Vittorio, […]

Finishing Touches
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, ruttan's placeSara here is painting a stump, the last step in the “Ruelle Verte” project happening behind my apartment on rue de Rouen. “La Ruelita” is the name of the project, I guess. “The little alley.” “Thanks to the Sainte-Marie Eco-Quartier!” (the neighbourhood recycling and ecological org. responsible for the project) A spiral – traditional symbol […]
