Despite the punning title of this post, this isn’t Walt Disney. He’s actually the cartoonist who designed Porky Pig. I’ve forgotten his name at the moment, but watched a bio about him on youtube, where a number of these interesting documentaries can be found, if you know where to look for them. UPDATE: Augh. Okay, […]

Monstrous Stuff
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, sketchesI love (and fear) monsters, so draw them a lot. The above (“Jasconius the Friendly Whale”) has little to do with Saint Brendan, except it’s something I drew remembering a National Geographic Society map of his voyages. The real story is different. More ball-point pen-drawn monsters below, and a guy. Stories are long-winded, so I’ll […]

Pen Mischief
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, womenI’ve been drawing and painting a lot, but not blogging much. Will try to remedy that today. So here are some pen drawings with the amazing erasable gel pen in different colours. La la. Need to practice my landscapes. Well, that’s what this is for! Everyone should draw, everyday. But I don’t want to sound […]

Another New Sketchbook
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, cats, dogs, men, sketches, womenThat’s about the size of it. This one is cheaper, and fits not too badly into the scanner. I’ve been away drawing things, so I thought I may as well put up everything I’ve been doing until now in one blow. These were drawn with a pilot frixion gel pen, which has the virtue of […]

I’m Not Dead!
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, men, pencil, womenJust away from the scanner for a bit. Please don’t send search parties after me. You can see me lurking in Verdun!

Women, Faces, and Horses
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, horses, men, pencil, watercolour, womenI like drawing wreckage, also pretty women. They don’t really go together, except perhaps in a fashion mag.

More Faces
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, brush pen, cats, men, pen and ink, sketches, womenMore faces, like it said up top, but this time I’m inking them with the brush pen, so they’re not as scratchy. Not sure which I prefer. Above are Liv Tyler from The Lord of the Rings, two faces from the DVD cover for “Sky Captain,” and the sinister Conrad Black, recently released from prison […]

People and Feet
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, montreal, pen and ink, sketches, womenDrawing this morning on the balcony, before the rains came. People walking by, mainly moms and dads back from delivering kids to the nearby day care. Bonus: a sensitive portrait of my foot.

Brown Studies
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, cats, dinosaurs, machines, men, sketches, womenBought some fun new pens (called “Pilot FriXion Ball” gel pens, in brown, .5 mm and .7mm respectively, plus a new sketchbook, because those were on sale at the art store). So I decided to sketch with them using brown pencils to embellish, as necessary. “Brown Studies” is not what the name really means, which […]

Maurice Sendak
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, men, sketchesHere’s my impression of the late Maurice Sendak, from a documentary I’m watching about him on youtube at the moment. UPDATE: Link is down, too bad. Here’re some salient things from it, on another blog: [link].
