The drawings here, as they’ve been on most Saturdays since I’ve been blogging, are from the previous evening spent drawing with friends at the bar. Sadly, Marr was doing family stuff and wasn’t there, but Rick Gagnon and I were. We drew a bunch of stuff. Above is a drawing I made on the metro, […]

Mainly making little drawings, in this small book I found. Because they take less time. Really, I wanted to practice placing values, and, of course, making a nice picture. If I do something I really like, I can make it into a big picture, and I hope, get the values right so you can tell […]

More collaborative hijinks at the bar last night. This time, not so many drawings. I love the one above by Marr and R. Gagnon, with gun added by Yours Truly. Below is by Marr and I: Rick drawing with his magic brush pen: Something by Marr and I. Rick didn’t like the water, and tried […]

Back to random sketches in my book, and cryptic words, which are merely notes I write to myself for some totally unrelated project. Looks fairly crazy, though, doesn’t it? Some other time I’ll write something rambling, but I have to walk up a hill in freezing weather and wind (but it is sunny out), to […]

Not too much to say right now. Wrote a lot today, and I seem to be out of words!

Met with my friends at the bar last evening. Collaborated with a few sketches, which you see above and below. James up there was drawn by me, and inked by Rick Gagnon. This lady is a combination of my talents, and Marr’s: Something for Marr’s sketchbook: an old guy I drew, Marr inked, then I […]

If last week’s drawing and drinking session at the Cock N’ Bull carried on without me, this one started and finished without any of my input at all. I was sick, and had to beg off and stay home. Never mind, Richard Gagnon and Marr drew up a storm without me. Judging from these pictures […]

I was pretty tired last night, so I retired early from the bar. My friends stuck around, but were soon chased away by the band setting up. They, however, went down the hill to R. Gagnon’s place, and kept drawing. Rick sent me evidence via e-mail of what happened. This looks like Rick a bit, […]

Above is the brilliant job Rick Gagnon did colouring Marr’s (Michael Arsenault’s) drawing from last week during our usual Friday night meeting at the Cock N’ Bull bar. But this wasn’t quite so usual, because instead of “Gagnon Friday,” this one could be called Gagnon, Marr, Simmons, Leblanc (and Ruttan) Friday. Below, Marr and Gagnon […]

Drew this while half-watching a film from my massive collection of about 20 dvds. It’s the kid from Airplane! Later.

Want to get more into a Pre-Raphaelite, symbolist vibe, sometime.

Just found this one in my sketchbook, from the same Friday session as the last two posts. Central figure is drawn by Marr. The other characters by me; inks by all three of us, basically.

These are lots of fun. They’re snaps from Marr’s sketchbook, from the same Friday night drawing session as the previous post. Above, Rick Gagnon and I inked Marr’s collection of puppet creatures. I’d love to see this in colour. Below, a man drawn by Marr and inked by Rick, in a pose not found in […]
