I made a grid on a piece of watercolour paper with the tape, and drew these cool little paintings. Yay!

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.

Characters
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBusy with stuff, not blogging much at the moment. Still drawing things, however. Even things as oddball as these two.

Cigar Pair, Take 2
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenOkay, play a game of “Find the differences” here, with the image at the bottom of the last post. Really only 2. Spending altogether too much time on this. But it was fun to write that last post. So, here we go, with a little of the practice.

Hard to think of cool titles for these posts…
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, women…when what you’re doing is putting up more sketches. But the post that gets the most visits is one called “Simple Cats,” so maybe I should try to title them in a descriptive way. Sounds boring, but stuff here is pretty low key. Like I’ve said, I’m really doing this a lot for myself, to […]

More Vectorizing
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenGetting a little more organised with the vectors. The thing I like about Illustrator is that it’s possible to monkey with lines to an infinite degree. Still plenty to learn, however. Today, I hope to unravel the secrets of the “Gradient Mesh.” Some more traditional stuff below:

Lady and Tiger, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenI think that the simple titles are best for the SEO. (Search Engine Optimization). Not that I really care about how many people visit this, except in terms of raw vanity. I’m doing this mainly for myself, so I can look at it later, and think, “did I really draw THAT?” Sketchbook page, with parts […]

The Usual Obsessive Stuff
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenThe usual guys blankly staring, cats, and below, cute chicks. Just because I go out to events doesn’t mean I’m not a strange recluse. It just means there are a lot of events happening. But the video stuff is fun. Takes a long time to upload. My next challenge there is finding music I can […]

Pair of Pairs
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolour, womenThis is a pair of a pair of things. The only connection is that they happened to be on the same pages with each other. Going to do more street scenes. They’re kind of boring, but when I do them I think of the buildings as having some emotion or attitude. This corner apartment above […]

Back to Jack
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, paintings, sketches, watercolour, womenFinished with the labour-intensive event chronicling for now, and back to boring little drawings. They don’t attract as many hits! Still, I’m very happy to have started using the Sony Vegas editing program, and mastered at least a few of the basics. (can’t imagine wanting to use many of those tacky special effects and wipes, […]

Animal Gladiators
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, watercolourThis is a comic I drew in about 10 minutes at the last Comic Jam. Then it took me about 4 days to decide what colours to put in. Enjoy!
