Cats and Files
By Jack Ruttan in catsNora Small Cat ™ has her own filing system, of which she is very proud. Actually, she was unhappy when I sealed away my own files, because she had a habit of shredding them to make a little hideaway. So I made her a decoy box of scrap paper, and she’s happy with that, because […]

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, […]

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!

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 […]
