Some More Sketches…
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourThese have been piling up! I have no idea why I named the truck “Wibberly.” It’s the name of an old British SF author. And another picture. “So What” girl visits Star Wars:

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:

More Awkward Watercolour
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourI kind of enjoy trying things out, and possibly failing, rather than doing one perfect picture after another of something I know I can do. Hence these.

Running out of Sketchbook Pages
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesWill have to buy new books, or draw on the walls. You can’t stop me. These were outside walkers, and a ball player. I see ball players often, because there’s a diamond in the park around the corner.

Rainy Monday
By Jack Ruttan in cats, montreal, ruttan's place, sketchesSounds kind of bluesy, and I am out of sorts. But I put the living-room “tree” outside to rinse off the dust in the rain. Sure, like I want it to get bigger, and overwhelm the apartment, like Washington at the end of Logan’s Run. Don’t worry, the cats don’t nibble on it. Thought I […]

Bonne Saint-Jean!
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketchesFor Saint Jean’s this year, I went out to Mile End. It’s a more English neighbourhood in Montreal than where I live, but that’s where my friends were. In past years there was this big party on rue Saint Viateur, but that’s a thing of the past now. There was just a little pocket of […]
