By in color, Coloured Pencils, comics, digital, heads, men, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolour

Not totally sure about the angry guy face, but that’s what’s happening at the moment in my sketchbooks. The person in the snow suit was real. No penguin, though. That was in honour of Matthew Brown, who sent me a hard copy of his book this week. Penguin Detective — The Case of No Case.

My Friend’s Back Yard

By in cats, Jack's House of Cats, paintings, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, women

This is from an older sketchbook, so I suppose it qualifies as “archival.” It’s my friend’s back yard, with her cat, and even a portrait of her, on the left hand side, and Yours Truly on the right. She hated being photographed, and, I’m assuming, would have hated being painted. But here you are….

Papineau Metro

By in montreal, sketches, women

This lady was sitting across from me as I was riding the Montreal Metro. She was actually flashier than this, and possibly indigenous. I didn’t sketch her on the spot, but I drew my impression of her later, and scanned it for here. Mainly to prove I could do it….

Childhood Dog
