I’m behind in my blogging, as usual. September seems to be a whirl of events and parties. While my health is back (for now!) it’s hard to get out to everything. I promised to record a few of these, so here we are. These are shots and sketches from the weekend party in Mederic Martin […]

This looks a little different form my usual thing, because I was doing an exercise from a watercolour book. That means copying another artist’s strokes as closely as possible. I learn stuff from this, but hate doing it. Took some snaps below, so you can see the book, and the reference. I’m also bored by […]

Not painting stuff I’m seeing in the park, however. That’s mostly kids and dogs. Fine subjects. But for another day.

Haven’t had all that much time, so I’m putting up some odds and ends I’ve drawn. The aging guy heads were copied, more or less, from the book Drawing People, by Barbara Bradley. Flying things, and a nerdy kid. An old-fashioned “War of the Worlds” tripod, and a farmer’s cart. Why? I have no idea.

For some reason, these take about as long as the black and white ones! Going to try and do more. They’ll probably make more sense, get more relaxed as I go along. I’ve got a pile of stories. Just haven’t drawn (or painted) them, yet. This one come out of my head as I was […]

After missing a couple of nights, I finally made it to the monthly Montreal Comic Jam. Took pictures, but now I’m lazy, and put them into a slide show. You can actually click on photos as they pass by above to read info about who’s in them, etc. Enthused about watercolour, I brought my set […]

Was pretty down today, but doing this cheered me up. Just left blank bubbles and squares, then filled them in with whatever. Mainly according to songs I was listening to on the shuffle.

Just another watercolour thing to keep the blog rolling along. At least I did some useful work today! Gotta feed the cats.

Weird painting, as usual. But I learned a lot from doing this!

Still just drawing random things. Wish I were in a better mood. I added a halo to that wrestler you’ve already seen, and painted a ballet dancer. She’s actually outlined with a dip pen, which is all right. Also drawn with a dip pen is the cowboy below. Should be working on something other than […]

Dogwalkers of the world. I love you all! A pair of English comic book writers: It’s Devil Girl! And R. Crumb! A pair of heads!

I’ve discovered tumblr, which at the moment is where I’m putting a lot of ranting and rambling I’d like to get out of my system. This is good, because it makes me feel more productive in general. No reason I can’t do that here, however. But we’ll see how it goes. I like keeping things […]
