Lots of long speeches. I liked Chrystia Freeland’s face, so I drew that in my Dollarama sketchbook, with my amazing Winsor and Newton Series 150 Chinese brush. I don’t know if it’s actually a Chinese […]

Lunch with Friends
By Jack Ruttan in black and white, brush pen, heads, montreal, pen and ink, Portraits, Rick Gagnon, sketchesHad lunch with a couple of cartoonist friends. Richard Gagnon, Éric Theriault, and Kurt Beaulieu. Got them to draw things in one of my old sketchbooks. Whee! Almost like the good old days, except what’s older are us three…. This was done with my Pentel Brush Pen, which I promptly lost later in the day. […]
