Fillin’ in pages
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenThis is my black and white book, which doesn’t take colour all that well (except when it’s all I’ve got!). Still, it’s fun to draw in black and white with the brush pen, and various roller pens. Not as elite as the dip pen, however. But still pleasant to scratch back and forth, making those […]

January Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesSomething a little different. JM Ken Niimura shows off his sketchbook (actually, divided among 5 artists) at last night’s Montreal Comic Jam. Rick Gagnon is there in the background. You can follow along, and discover these artists’ websites. Thanks to JM they are (in order): Enrique Lorenzo: http://enriquelorenzo.blogspot.com/ JM Ken Niimura:http://niimurablog.blogspot.com/ Alfonso Salazar: http://alfonso-salazar.blogspot.com/ Christian […]

Women in Bathing Suits, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI’ve not been drawing tons. Trying to settle back into things, and relax. Cartoonists on Twitter are helping me do this, mainly through examples of their work. The figure in blue is mainly copied from a Love and Rockets comic panel. I think i like getting more into cartoony oddness, but enjoy trying to make […]

The Apparition of These Faces in the Crowd…
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, women…Petals on a wet, black bough. Face sketches I’ve been doing, on the Metro, and at parties. Sometimes from TV!

Metro Colour
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenStill really haven’t gotten the blog back on its wheels since the holiday break. I have a host of excuses! Mainly busy with work and stuff. But there are some interesting things coming up! That’s if I’m not distracted by twitter, or doing meaningless graphics in illustrator. Happy to be making at least a little […]

More little Pics
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourI like ones with background detail better. But a pal of mine said I like to clutter things up. That’s all right.

Little Watercolour Drawings

Teen Car
By Jack Ruttan in ruttan's place, sketchesWatching Gran Torino with an old Clint Eastwood put me in mind of my teen car. Much less impressive. Built a scale model of it, which I’ve kept on a shelf, and you can see on my tumblr space here. It was a 1974 Mercury Bobcat, not a Pinto. That’s about all I want to […]

Creepy Guys
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolourCouple of uncomfortable paintings. The one above is a figure from a dream I had, based, I think, on a rock video featuring a mummy wrapped in duct tape. Below, it’s this guy I found annoying at a bar. Don’t know how much annoyingness comes through in the picture. Usually, it’s softened a lot, but […]

Subways
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenNot posting much, I’m afraid. But I’m getting into drawing while I’m waiting for the metro, as these sketches suggest. The first one, done a while ago, I don’t think I put up: The second one was just yesterday, after returning home from an event. What great worn out and diverse faces you can find […]

Another year pushed across the abacus…
By Jack Ruttan in ruttan's place, sketches, watercolour, womenI’m an old boy, now, but I don’t feel like it. Part of feeling young at heart is through drawing all this crazy stuff. I’ve always loved looking at pictures and colourful, funny cartoons, so it’s a pleasure to draw them This coming year, I want to do more, and put them out more widely. […]

Painting Things
By Jack Ruttan in horses, men, sketches, watercolour, womenInto winter now. Can’t go out. So I’m painting things, and doing an awful Christmas card in Adobe Illustrator. Watching “Blow Up” by Antonioni. Wouldn’t mind being an irresponsible fashion photographer in Swinging London. Always liked drawing cowboys and horses. Suppose that’s my Alberta background coming out.
