This is Philarette, one of the loveable characters from the movie Malpertuis. He’s especially adept with rusty scalpels and other instruments of taxidermy. “This isn’t going to hurt… Well, maybe a little….”

The guy in the watercolour above is looking kind of dumb, and standing awkwardly, doing nothing. But then again, so is the bear. Will something happen? I doubt it. Meanwhile, I painted another sketch of Orson Welles: I’ve been watching the DVD of Malpertuis, which is a brilliant, but little-known French or Flemish fantasy film […]

Just a companion for yesterday’s man. Working on some other things, which might be ready, soon.

Mainly making little drawings, in this small book I found. Because they take less time. Really, I wanted to practice placing values, and, of course, making a nice picture. If I do something I really like, I can make it into a big picture, and I hope, get the values right so you can tell […]

Nothing too ambitious. I was out of the house for most of the weekend, and working on other things than making pictures. I’m going to have to learn how to scan watercolours in better quality. There’s a site which talks about that. But it recommends a lot of little steps, and I can hardly tell […]

A few faces I did last night. The ones up above start with a base of some colour or another. Then I go at it with that colour as a theme. The guy below was painted with a dry brush that was pretty saturated with paint, if that makes sense. Most of these are done […]

The first one is from a photo in a movie mag. Defiance, if you care. The rest are out of my fevered head.

I started a couple of comic pages at last Night’s Montreal Comic Jam, but you can’t see them because they were packed away, and I didn’t take my handy little digital camera to take snaps of them, or of the jam participants, for that matter. So you’ll have to be content with this little doodle […]

A little light. I’d better go. It’s time for the Monthly Montreal Comic Jam!

I don’t know what to say about this one. Maybe just back away, slowly. Actually, I like pictures full of silly characters. This one measures 10″x13″, if anyone cares.

A little at sixes and sevens this weekend, and drawing helps me relax. I’m not going to identify the pair up above, because fans of celebrities on the internet are sometimes crazy, and will go to silly lengths being rude trying to preserve their imaginary relationships with their idols. I might tell you more stories […]

Doing a lot of monkeys, but not all like this.

I like the kinda rough, dashed-off quality of these. And also the texture of the paper in the scan. It looks like old skin.

I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow I’ll bother using some perspective. At least I might be in a better mood about things. In the meantime, there’s this snap of a drawing by Marr and Rick Gagnon from last week, which I forgot. Lovely fingernails, by the way.
