One of the members of Run DMC. Didn’t want to draw the one with glasses, because, glasses.

By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, color, Coloured Pencils, men, pen and ink, sketches, watercolour, womenSome new sketches. I’m always drawing, but not been putting everything up, even though I used to do that.
Phone Doodle
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, sketchesDrawn while talking on the phone. I can do this because another part of the brain is being used. If I were reading or writing something, I totally wouldn’t be able to hear the conversation. But drawing, that’s different.

Blue Metropolis
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, writingGene Luen Yang Finally getting around to this. The Blue Metropolis Book Fest is Montreal’s premiere English language lit bash, taking place in April. This year I attended a couple of events, mainly centred around graphic novels and their creators. It was great seeing Gene Luen Yang, who gave a workshop on graphic storytelling, and […]
Buildings
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, pencil, sketchesPencil sketches from old photos of mine of architecture. One is the Frank Lloyd Wright-styled fire station on Notre Dame Street East (now covered in scaffolding), and the other is on Sherbrooke Street E., near the old Library.

(I am almost a non-French speaker, by the way, despite spending all this time in Montreal). But in my anglo heart, I still see it as “Male-Part.” I’m sure he was a worthy gentleman, but I’m happy they didn’t […]

Pilgrims and Spies
By Jack Ruttan in cats, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, men, paintings, pencil, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolourMorning sketches, to clear my head, and chase away the nightly terrors. I’m on my front balcony, the sun just peeping over the buildings and trees. These are just things I’ve done yesterday and today. The usual things I’ve seen, either real or on TV, and faces, of course. Out of my head, and from […]
The Great Antonio
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, pen and ink, ruttan's place, sketchesToday, a park in Montreal got a bench in it dedicated to the Great Antonio. He’s a former Montreal strongman you can read about here. Meanwhile, here are some items from my flickr feed to do with him. A drawing I did of him, the way he looked sitting in the Metro in the 1980s-2000s […]
Hangin’ With Mr. B.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, Gouache, sketches, watercolor, watercolourIt’s Mr. Boggedy again!
