Art in the Wild
By Jack Ruttan in cats, montrealI used to write for art journals, and about art, in newspapers. I’ve been out of that world for a while. It seems a little different when you’ve been on the outside, though I still feel at home in a gallery or museum. Not everyone feels that way! Maybe I’m getting a little back into […]

Pensive Pen Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, sketches, womenThese don’t need explaining, but I like to write a little. Above is Catwoman and a dog. Below, the creepy cowboy from Mulholland Drive.

So I can learn some Flash! Thus far, all I can do is make a triangle jump abruptly from one side of the screen to the other. […]

Black Ballpoint
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketchesThese are black ballpoint drawings in my moderately small sketchbook. Mainly drawn in bed, actually. I wonder if anyone else does this?

Angry Old Farts
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketchesThis is sort of an angry Peter Mansbridge. But I was really just practicing my shading and crosshatching chops on an old pencil sketch. Below, two old outer space farts, from the Dark Side of the Force: Last, my portrait of Cat Boy. At age 13, he’s sort of an old fart of the cat […]
