It’s a new sketchbook! These things are expensive. I’m thinking I should be like Chester Brown, and not worry about my legacy. Because I’ll be gone, and then people can fight over the old books, if they want to….

Chrystia
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, color, digital, Gouache, heads, paintings, pen and ink, pencil, Portraits, self-promotion, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenInstead of doing important drawings for which there is a firm deadline, I watched politics on my big TV instead. Lots of long speeches. I liked Chrystia Freeland’s face, so I drew that in my Dollarama sketchbook, with my amazing Winsor and Newton Series 150 Chinese brush. I don’t know if it’s actually a Chinese […]

Red Gothic Guy in Gouache
By Jack Ruttan in Gouache, heads, men, paintings, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolourI’m happy that this is posting, because I’m not too thrilled with my digital painting program at the moment. 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 […]

Sketchbooks and word balloons
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, comics, digital, heads, men, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolourNot 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 Jack Ruttan in cats, Jack's House of Cats, paintings, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenThis 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….

Childhood Dog
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, paintings, watercolor, watercolourI was digging through what I laughingly call my “archives,” and this little painting fell out. It’s a portrait I did some years ago of our family’s childhood dog, Pimmy. He was a “Toy Terrier,” which meant he was a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier, and a beagle. Not the brightest dog in the […]
