Behind on Blogging
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesWild people. Drawing by me, inks by Rick. Don’t get me wrong. I love my blog. I can express stuff here and gas on about things, and look at my funny sketches.

Just some sketching
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesLike the title says. I’ve started a new contract, and have been a little distracted. Also some sad news, which I’ll blog later, when I’m ready. Still, hope you like crazy sketches of cats and whatnot.

Park Sketching
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketches, watercolourNice day yesterday (not so much today!), so I took off on the bike. Sat in the park in the morning, and sketched. People were taking showers in the kiddies’ fountain you can see the edge of, at the left. (I think the fountain (which you can see in the link) was designed by Vittorio, […]

Odds and ends
By Jack Ruttan in men, montreal, sketchesHe’s supposed to be a cheery little guy with a twinkle in his eye. Meanwhile, Walter Matthau is being uncharacteristically menacing (and cryptic): And this is just an old sketch, made in the lobby of the Musée des Beaux Arts:

Easy and Hard Watercolour
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolourThe one above, based on an image in one of my “how to draw” books, took me 2 hours. The one below, about 15 minutes. Which one do I like more? That’s easy.

Birthday and Back on the Balcony
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenMy browser wasn’t cooperating, and I wasn’t going to be able to post these pictures. But something shook loose. Leading off above is a B-Day card for a friend, who likes military things. Below, a walking girl: And a woman director: Random guys on a page:
