Still working on stuff. Maybe not the stuff I should be. But it is fun!

More Colours Again
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, watercolourI should be doing comics today, or fixing some directories on a blog. But my back brain wanted to do watercolours. At least I learned something with these. Not easy to explain, but it’s mainly about when I can use dark lines to outline something, and not. Like on the lady below, it’s better if […]

Cats and Guys
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, watercolourThat’s what we’ve got today. Mr. Street Black Cat better be careful. We don’t want him to become black cat pizza! And a final hat guy:

Another weekend
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourJust some stuff I drew over the weekend. “Gagnon Fridays” are on hiatus for a bit, as we figure out a new place to meet. I liked the old one, but it takes two to get together. Hope something happens. I enjoyed those. Rough pic of a P-38 lightning above. Below, these drawings are separate, […]

Nice Weather Again
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketches, watercolourHad fun riding my bike the other day. Saw plenty of BIXI rental bicycle stands (there are two within a couple of blocks of me, so there must be a lot — at least here and on the plateau, which is one of Montreal’s more trendy neighbourhoods). And forgot to wear my sunscreen, so got […]

The Wonderful Engine…
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, watercolourThis thing looks a little like the power turbines I was writing about in the Power Quest Episode of “What’s That About?” I talk about the show on my site, here: http://mruttan.ca/television.html Have to get busy and finish the links! More new sketches: This is what my work chair looks like in the morning:

Ballpoint Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourI like the feel of a smooth ballpoint in the book. Not the most respected of media, but you can make nice gradated tones with it. I even like them when they blob, but not when they are sluggish, or don’t work so you start carving little ruts in the paper. This one’s more just […]

Sketch Paintings
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourCouple of half-sketch half paintings. Gal and gorilla. And long haired villain guy below: Tried to get out to the comic jam tonight, but was driven back by the big rain, and a sore knee. Somehow conspiring to be as rotten as possible, when I wanted to get out. I guess that’s called story irony. […]

Funny Faces
By Jack Ruttan in cats, sketches, watercolourAs I wrote in Twitter, it’s fun painting funny faces early in the morning. I snapped these with the camera rather than scanning them. Below is the purple lady from a couple of posts back. I guess that would be called a “second state” if I were printmaking. Little Nora wanted her picture taken, too! […]

UFO
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourPretty busy with work, which is mainly finding work. Did this sketch this morning, in tribute to one of the purple-haired ladies in UFO, the old British TV series. Will try to do a better one, sometime.

But the place will be the Drawn & Quarterly Bookstore, at 211 Bernard West, in Mile End. This is my first try for a poster for the workshop. It will be going up in black […]
