Girl and the Gorilla

By in watercolour, women

Which is which? He’s maybe a missing link, or Dr. Zaius’ cousin. Beauty and the Beast? Just a quick morning sketch.

Funny faces and a Yellow Plane

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

Feeling more confident about my watercolour work. That means, along with doing stuff in my books, I’ll work on some stretched, better-quality paper, which will make things smoother, and easier to scan. I like painting in the books, and putting a lot of effort into preparing something makes me nervous, and leads to bad drawings. […]

Wrapping Up the Sketchbook

By in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women

One of my sketchbooks is almost full. So, I went through it, painted new pictures, and coloured old ones. That means a real grab-bag of images. Which are attractive? Which “work?” It’s interesting to figure out. The things I like the most are the ones that help tell a story. That means comic “strips,” (none […]

Who? What?

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

I can’t think of a title for this post. It’s just a lot of paintings, etc. I’ve been doing.

Party Pair

By in sketches, watercolour, women

One of my more hipster-y sketchbook characters has picked up a partner I like a lot: Still working, sketching painting. In a better mood today, but the weather is changeable. Here, I was interested in spreading large areas of dark paint smoothly, which I’ve almost accomplished. That often leads to very dull drawings, which I […]

Coming Back

By in sketches, watercolour, women

Recovering again, it seems, from a rebounded stomach flu. Amazing the lack of energy when that’s happening. But the energy’s back, which feels good. While actually doing other work, I dashed off a couple of things, which you can see here.

Women and Men at Work

By in men, ruttan's place, watercolour, women

Construction outside of my place this afternoon made it tough to work. So, I sat outside, breathed asphalt fumes, and painted this. Don’t know if the crew would have appreciated it. This was the lone girl, working with a bunch of guys. I’ve further documented the building going on in front of my house on […]

Monochrome, but Bi-Planes and Tri-Planes.

By in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women

… but first, a Moonbeam McSwine type. Most of the sketchbook drawings come about as a “hey, a dog would look nice over there,” or a lot of things on a page. Rarely any planning. Actually, I have to work on that. Setting myself a subject ahead of time, and accomplishing it.

Tennis

By in men, watercolour, women

Another elaborate, but short watercolour comic. That’s all there is to this one! Gonna do these on heavier paper from now on, instead of in my book. And yes, I like the sometimes ragged edges on the panels, and all the imperfections.

Leather

Just a funny, kind of Matrix-y couple.

Strange Beach, and Comic Con ‘Crastination

By in men, sketches, women

I’m still messing around trying to learn my video editing program, so I can upload a spiff little production of all the neat chats with artists I did at the Montreal Comic Con this past weekend. It’s pretty complicated, and I’m pretty busy at the mo. In the meantime, glom with your eyes this picture […]

Saturday in the Park

By in men, montreal, ruttan's place, watercolour, women

I’m behind in my blogging, as usual. September seems to be a whirl of events and parties. While my health is back (for now!) it’s hard to get out to everything. I promised to record a few of these, so here we are. These are shots and sketches from the weekend party in Mederic Martin […]

Frosh Week

By in men, watercolour, women

The other day I was walking downtown near the French University on Saint Denis street. They’re having Frosh week, which means crowds of kids wearing sacks and funny hats, made to do humiliating things. One of those was to beg for change near where actual poor people do, on Ste. Catherine street. I’m afraid I […]
