Pen and Ink Cats, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenMr. Boggedy only WISHES he could catch rats! It’s a pain thinking up clever titles for these posts of sketches, so I’m just going for the search engines! Here’s my old pal, Howard Shore (with a random DVD lady): Bonus! A woman pointing! Is she actually wearing anything, or am I just lazy? Could have […]

Drawings of Thugs and Women
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenSorry, they’re not together. Some other time! The guy here is my trying to recapture impressions of this character I saw on the street, who could have been a thug ordered by Central Casting. Don’t think I caught the exact look of malice on his face which unsettled me, though! Women in pencil, and colour:

A Utopian Moment
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenSomebody asked me where the name “Utopia Moment” came from. It’s something I made up, when I was in a Brian Eno type of mood (he likes to give enigmatic titles to his pieces). I think it refers to the instant when everything feels perfect; but it’s so fleeting it’s hard to grab onto and […]

Science Fiction Experiment
By Jack Ruttan in men, paintings, watercolour, womenGot carried away painting something in one of my books. The more complex you make it, it seems the more the flaws show up. Oh well, I enjoyed doing it. Trying to manage my lights and darks, my perspective, also my colour palette. The interesting thing about doing these is that they never quite get […]

New Stuff…
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, women.. but somehow the same. Sigh. If anyone cares, that strange object in the upper right-hand corner is a doodle of an Italian drinking fountain I made to illustrate an anecdote to someone. Coloured it in.

Slightly Random
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBusy as of late. I’ve been drawing things in the between times, but not really putting them up. Maybe it will even out, but I wonder. Anyhow, here are some more drawings and paintings. Some are sort of from life, some not. I’ll let you guess. The guy below, in pencil, is roughly inspired by […]

Sketchbook Fun
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenMore people from my head, and on the street. Along with buying a lot of new sketchbooks at “Back to School” sales at various art stores, I’ve been wrapping up some ones that have been filled up. The problem for me comes when I have to find space to store them in my little apartment. […]

Portrait
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI painted this in about 4 minutes from a photo. Wish all my painting was this easy, but if I just did this all the time, I’d get bored. That’s why I tackle the complex things which are just out of my reach. Later I’ll probably find something wrong with this one, too.

Back to School
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenOne advantage of this time of year for cheap writer/artists is that there are plenty of “back to school” sales on stationery and art supplies. So, I’ve stocked up on cool sketchbooks. The above creeps are from a new hardcover one, which has paper that’s nice for watercolour. But it’s hard to scan, with that […]

Monochrome Crew
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenIt’s fun blogging at quarter to six in the morning. Had nothing better to do, but this was queued up, and ready to go. I think it’s more fun (but more work) telling stories with these people, because they’re all about stories. However, they just appear as I draw/paint them. I don’t sit down saying […]
