Gotta get to sleep! Here’s a picture of a green couple that I liked.

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 […]

Another year pushed across the abacus…
By Jack Ruttan in ruttan's place, sketches, watercolour, womenI’m an old boy, now, but I don’t feel like it. Part of feeling young at heart is through drawing all this crazy stuff. I’ve always loved looking at pictures and colourful, funny cartoons, so it’s a pleasure to draw them This coming year, I want to do more, and put them out more widely. […]

Painting Things
By Jack Ruttan in horses, men, sketches, watercolour, womenInto winter now. Can’t go out. So I’m painting things, and doing an awful Christmas card in Adobe Illustrator. Watching “Blow Up” by Antonioni. Wouldn’t mind being an irresponsible fashion photographer in Swinging London. Always liked drawing cowboys and horses. Suppose that’s my Alberta background coming out.
