Busy, and kind of worn out today, but I had time to paint this colonial guy.

Graveyard Fun
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenGraveyards are pleasant places to sit and think. Look over the names, even paint watercolours. Wait … WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??!!! Here’s a watercolour painter and comic artist who’s been an influence on me, lately, explaining her technique, in a graveyard. [link]

Still More Zombies…
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolour…And evil cats! Devil Dog… Here’s smiling business guy: Anyhow, I’m offering you, in internet land, to have your own portrait, facebook photo, or twitter avatar, turned into your favourite monster, for hallowe’en, or indeed any time of year. Building the page right now where this would be possible. In the meantime, visit this page […]

More Zombies
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBut they’re vegetarian Zombies, I tell you. I had the brainstorm, a little too close to Hallowe’en of offering to zombify, vamp or monsterize people’s twitter icons for that frightening evening. So, I’m drawing tons of zombies. Want to set up a web page where I can sell these, and other art things, but haven’t […]

More Zombies
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourOkay, I’m getting there. Excuse the weirdness! I’m noticing that the blank eyes seem to help in doing a zombie, but I don’t want to rely on that all the time. Also little flecks of blood. It’s raining cats and dogs outside, and seems to have done so all day, keeping me from errands I […]

Trying to do Zombies
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenThat’s my thing at the moment. This is a link to some of my research material. One of those brilliant ideas I hope works, though I wish I had it earlier. We’ll see how it goes. Tough doing creepy monstrous stuff when you’re mainly used to cute and quirky. But always good to expand one’s […]

Girl and the Gorilla
By Jack Ruttan in watercolour, womenWhich is which? He’s maybe a missing link, or Dr. Zaius’ cousin. Beauty and the Beast? Just a quick morning sketch.

A Hard Life
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolourPainted this guy in the book. Then cut out the pic and stretched the paper. So, it’s a little more easy to scan, etc.

Funny faces and a Yellow Plane
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenFeeling more confident about my watercolour work. That means, along with doing stuff in my books, I’ll work on some stretched, better-quality paper, which will make things smoother, and easier to scan. I like painting in the books, and putting a lot of effort into preparing something makes me nervous, and leads to bad drawings. […]

Wrapping Up the Sketchbook
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenOne of my sketchbooks is almost full. So, I went through it, painted new pictures, and coloured old ones. That means a real grab-bag of images. Which are attractive? Which “work?” It’s interesting to figure out. The things I like the most are the ones that help tell a story. That means comic “strips,” (none […]

Who? What?
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenI can’t think of a title for this post. It’s just a lot of paintings, etc. I’ve been doing.

Party Pair
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenOne of my more hipster-y sketchbook characters has picked up a partner I like a lot: Still working, sketching painting. In a better mood today, but the weather is changeable. Here, I was interested in spreading large areas of dark paint smoothly, which I’ve almost accomplished. That often leads to very dull drawings, which I […]

Coming Back
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenRecovering again, it seems, from a rebounded stomach flu. Amazing the lack of energy when that’s happening. But the energy’s back, which feels good. While actually doing other work, I dashed off a couple of things, which you can see here.

Women and Men at Work
By Jack Ruttan in men, ruttan's place, watercolour, womenConstruction outside of my place this afternoon made it tough to work. So, I sat outside, breathed asphalt fumes, and painted this. Don’t know if the crew would have appreciated it. This was the lone girl, working with a bunch of guys. I’ve further documented the building going on in front of my house on […]
