Above, a simple, quick cat, in wash. Below, an even simpler cat, on typing paper:

Beers and Drawings
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesMore drawing from the other night, meeting with friends at the Cock N’ Bull bar. Rick Gagnon was there. Marr was there, too, but he didn’t stay long enough to draw anything. Still, Rick was able to ink things like this drawing above of mine of one of the servers. Below is my drawing, embellished […]

Creative License
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesHere’s something fun. This caricature I did of former Prime Minister, the late John Diefenbaker, is going into an upcoming political documentary. Rather than just downloading it and using it, they were nice enough to ask, and we negotiated a fee. That’s classy, and it’s nice to think of something of yours sticking around, maybe […]

Friday Fun
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesLoads of graphical play last night with friends at the Cock N’ Bull Bar. Rick and Marr were also doing crosswords, but those are much less interesting to look at. Above is my interpretation of some pool-playing characters, with a few lines and patches of black added by Rick. Below is Rick’s more graphical version […]

More Fridays
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, watercolourMore Friday evening stuff, back at the bar. Above is a drawing by Marr which I watercoloured, and dressed up the people to make a 1960s scene, like I remember from Yorkville, Toronto’s glory days. Below is sort of by all three of us. I did two characters, Marr did a character (on the left), […]

February Comic Jam Shenanigans
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketchesLots of action at the Montreal Monthly Comic Jam last night, at the Cock N’ Bull pub! The Jam happens every last Thursday of the month at the pub, 1944 Saint Catherine Street west (Metro: Guy), around 8 pm. I’m going to try to place a link to our facebook page: [link] Below is some […]

Boring!
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesThis is a guy from a Love and Rockets comic book I drew as an exercise in inking. Kind of dull. I prefer doing my own stuff. I got an interesting cartooning commission you might hear more about, later. Just practicing for that!

Sick
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesI’ve been that way for the last couple of days, so lacked the energy to do very much. Feeling better today, so I thought I’d post some stuff. Tried taking snaps of it rather than scanning. Just some drawing I’ve been doing affected by things I’ve been reading and watching. The girl cats are enjoying […]

Back With the Gang
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesThe Gang in this case is me, Rick Gagnon, and Marr. Did a pile of drawings, at our usual haunt, the Cock N’ Bull, after 5 pm. Fridays. That’s happy hour until 7! Rick and I finished the above drawing last, but of course it was the most elaborate one, so it goes up first. […]

Black Gouache
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesBlack gouache is tricky to spell (no, this morning it just seems to roll off the keyboard), but fun to do. Also very fast. I’m still doing this on the el-cheapo sketchbook paper, because I’m too lazy to tape it down to stretch it, but that’s the way of things. It also helps me work […]

Super-imposed
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesI did some work I’m happy with today, and more of less kicked off for the rest of the day. Might work more this evening. But here’s a wash drawing, with something earlier I actually drew in the subway, when it wasn’t bumping around too much. So, he looks like their guardian spirit, or something.
