More Colours Again
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, watercolourI should be doing comics today, or fixing some directories on a blog. But my back brain wanted to do watercolours. At least I learned something with these. Not easy to explain, but it’s mainly about when I can use dark lines to outline something, and not. Like on the lady below, it’s better if […]

Fan-dumb
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, sketchesHave this flickr uploader gadget in the blog. Haven’t gotten it to work yet. This is my first real post on the new system on the blog. Pretty spiffy. Plus I feel proud of myself for following the 18 or so steps to upgrade, with backups and passwords and all. Anyhow (feeling wordy, a switch […]

Back to Gagnon Fridays
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketchesEven though it’s a Monday (lots happening on the weekend, so this post got pushed back), I’m very happy that R. Gagnon and I had a chance last Friday afternoon to meet at a bar again, for drinks and drawing. He did very serious, illustrator-y treatments of my drawings, as with the above. The drawing […]

Esteemed Conservative Pundit
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesOkay. There’s going to be a lot of blogging today. Thought I’d start with this sketch of an esteemed conservative pundit I drew while listening to P.J. O’Rourke on the radio. I don’t think P.J. O’Rourke actually looks like this, so I’m giving him the title above.

Drawing Kinski
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesThese guys (1) (2) (3) have the right idea. Making images of German actor Klaus Kinski is fun. So much so, I included his daughter, Nasty.

Cats and Guys
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, watercolourThat’s what we’ve got today. Mr. Street Black Cat better be careful. We don’t want him to become black cat pizza! And a final hat guy:

Another weekend
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourJust some stuff I drew over the weekend. “Gagnon Fridays” are on hiatus for a bit, as we figure out a new place to meet. I liked the old one, but it takes two to get together. Hope something happens. I enjoyed those. Rough pic of a P-38 lightning above. Below, these drawings are separate, […]

Drama
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesA dramatic sketch of Nora the kitty. None of the cats are very dramatic at the moment. They’re lying around like plague victims, and it’s not even all that hot. A harbinger of things to come this summer? Below, another drawing. Kind of an office scene:

Nice Weather Again
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketches, watercolourHad fun riding my bike the other day. Saw plenty of BIXI rental bicycle stands (there are two within a couple of blocks of me, so there must be a lot — at least here and on the plateau, which is one of Montreal’s more trendy neighbourhoods). And forgot to wear my sunscreen, so got […]

The Wonderful Engine…
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, watercolourThis thing looks a little like the power turbines I was writing about in the Power Quest Episode of “What’s That About?” I talk about the show on my site, here: http://mruttan.ca/television.html Have to get busy and finish the links! More new sketches: This is what my work chair looks like in the morning:

Ballpoint Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourI like the feel of a smooth ballpoint in the book. Not the most respected of media, but you can make nice gradated tones with it. I even like them when they blob, but not when they are sluggish, or don’t work so you start carving little ruts in the paper. This one’s more just […]
