Sorry about that. There are actually tons of sketches, etc. to post. I did this picture today of a female comics artist with an Icelandic firedog. It’s very cozy this evening on the balcony stairs, twittering, and typing, and watching people walk by. Couple on the next balcony are snogging, which is a little awkward, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

Nightmare Puppy Dogs
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, watercolour, womenFailed painting. I’m still putting it up here, because it looks vaguely Edvard Munch-like. Reading a how-to-draw book which said that before you draw, you should visualize the head of a cute pet coming through the paper, and draw as if you’re caressing that head. But I just drew the head, added legs and a […]

This Always Happens…
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, montreal, sketches, womenI’ve been in a bit of a mood lately, and not posting much. But still drawing things. Some of which are clever, or all right. I’ve actually got 3 comic strips on the go, which I’d like to finish. Those, of course, are all brilliant. We’ll see. In the meantime, because Easter weekend was warm, […]

Pugs, and Skeleton Dude
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, montreal, sketches, womenI haven’t been posting very much! Sorry. Haven’t been in the mood. I like this drawing of a woman and her pug, however. Something extra. I’ve been seeing these little cutouts of this skeleton dude and his toaster around the neighbourhood. Snapping them with my camera, before they get taken down, because these things don’t […]

Warm and Sunny Day
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, sketches, womenIt was such, yesterday when I drew these, and it’s another such today. Happy to draw real animals, etc, from my balcony. Other people are TV and DVD-inspired faces. Not so bad, but I’m waiting for people to start walking by looking less frozen and bundled up.

Dream, and other Figures
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, sketches, womenI saw these kids the other night, in a dream. I think their Uncle is Orson Welles. Still working on figures. A pensive Orc, and Pug Dog: Hmmm. Maybe a pug dog-something else cross. The head is the wrong shape, muzzle too long and the ears should be lower down, for that true pug silliness.

Pensive Pen Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, sketches, womenThese don’t need explaining, but I like to write a little. Above is Catwoman and a dog. Below, the creepy cowboy from Mulholland Drive. Next, some well-known author at a badly-attended book convention. I’ve sometimes dreamed about being able to fly to the ceiling at these things. Though I didn’t need Leo da Vinci wings. […]

Car-Free Day and Animules
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, montreal, sketchesToday I’m going to be cartooning at the Eaton Centre in Downtown Montreal, part of the events surrounding Car Free Day in that part of the city. Please visit, if you can make it! Meantime, I bought a new little sketchbook (only 4″x6″), and drew a bunch of things. Mainly animal-related.
