The Case of the Exploding Electric Toothbrush
By Jack Ruttan in ruttan's place, sketches, watercolourI’ve been using an electric toothbrush for a couple of months. A little nervous about it at first, because the sound of it in my mouth was like the dental tools which still make me shivery. But it seemed to do a great job polishing the teeth, making them white and shiny. That was until […]

Light Box Mark II
By Jack Ruttan in cats, ruttan's place, sketchesAs related in an earlier post on my tumblr blog, this year I built a light box, to trace drawings for watercolours. It was made out of a cardboard box my scanner came in, a couple of dollar store LED light bars, and a square of frosted glass I’d found in an alley. It was […]

Sunday Things
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, womenI’m not relating to Sundays much. Thought I’d get some time off, but I’ve got to prepare for a meeting and some work. Still, I found time to sketch these things. Small cat, and some dame. I don’t call them watercolours because they involve the brush pen, and aren’t pure. I like modelling things in […]

Tonight’s Efforts
By Jack Ruttan in men, montreal, paintings, watercolourPainting more stuff tonight, after working hard. Tough days, actually, in various ways, though things aren’t bad. Getting stuff going, making decisions, dealing with things. Hope it all works out! It is February, though. One thing is from a photo, the other an elaboration of a quick sketch I made.

Abandoned Building
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, paintings, watercolourPainted this today, from a friend’s photo of a building (I think) near Turcot Yards. Should do a lot more of these sorts of things.

Splash of Colour
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourI’m getting back into my watercolour mode. Sometimes just splashing paint around works. At least it’s fun. Trying not so be so finicky, but not slapdash! Tricky rope to walk.

Women in Bathing Suits, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI’ve not been drawing tons. Trying to settle back into things, and relax. Cartoonists on Twitter are helping me do this, mainly through examples of their work. The figure in blue is mainly copied from a Love and Rockets comic panel. I think i like getting more into cartoony oddness, but enjoy trying to make […]

Metro Colour
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenStill really haven’t gotten the blog back on its wheels since the holiday break. I have a host of excuses! Mainly busy with work and stuff. But there are some interesting things coming up! That’s if I’m not distracted by twitter, or doing meaningless graphics in illustrator. Happy to be making at least a little […]

More little Pics
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourI like ones with background detail better. But a pal of mine said I like to clutter things up. That’s all right.

Creepy Guys
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolourCouple of uncomfortable paintings. The one above is a figure from a dream I had, based, I think, on a rock video featuring a mummy wrapped in duct tape. Below, it’s this guy I found annoying at a bar. Don’t know how much annoyingness comes through in the picture. Usually, it’s softened a lot, but […]
