Last Dollarama Book
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, montreal, parks, pencil, Portraits, self-promotion, sketchesSeems like the dollar store has stopped selling the kind of sketchbook that I like. That’s too bad. They were cheap, but not too terrible. Still, I’ve filled an entire shelf with these ones. I’ll find a different type to use…. The person on the bottom is Yours Truly, dressed the way I usually am […]

Thinking of Miyazaki….
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, color, digital, heads, men, paintings, sketches, watercolor, watercolourI was watching the Miyazaki movie THE BOY AND THE HERON recently, and it inspired me to draw this guy.

Coreopsis, and Roses and Wildflowers
By Jack Ruttan in brush pen, collaboration, color, digital, heads, machines, men, paintings, self-promotion, watercolor, watercolour, women, writingSo much scary stuff in the world today! Sometimes it feels like we’re living in a post-apocalyptic science fiction story. Well, one of the things I’ve been doing to help deal with that feeling has been doing work for the online journals of a few of my friends down south. Please visit the link below […]

Parc Mederic Martin Family
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, children, men, montreal, parks, pencil, ruttan's place, self-promotion, sketches, womenThis family was very cute, and ignored me as I sat with my sketchbook and non-alcohol beer in an Adirondack chair that happened to be facing the big swinging bench outside the playground, and by the bike path and tennis courts. I had been visiting my friend in the Rosemont-Maisonneuve hospital, and was walking back […]

Maybe it’s calmed down now, and recognizes me. I also put my thumb drive in the pocket of my fuzzy sweater, because I wanted to print something at the library. But the library printer only prints […]
