Lafontaine Park

By in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women

While walking through the park, had to force myself to sit down and paint this. Obviously I could have scooched over so the lamp-post wasn’t in front of the fountain. But hey, I was sitting there. The girl in front, playing with her puppy was super-charming.

Trying to Keep it Together

By in dogs, sketches, women

A page of pen and brush drawings: I’ve set up a tumblr blog. http://jackruttan.tumblr.com Don’t know why I did that, but I want to make it a little less formal than this blog. Kind of like an expanded twitter. I’d better set things up so they all intersect!

Typing Paper

By in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Don’t think I’ve completely mastered the scanner. Have to look at all the options. In the meantime, here’re a bunch of things I’ve been drawing on scrap paper, while drawing stuff for another job I can’t show you at the moment. Mainly front balcony things.

Avoidin’ the Blog!

By in dogs, sketches, watercolour, women

Sorry about that. There are actually tons of sketches, etc. to post. I did this picture today of a female comics artist with an Icelandic firedog. It’s very cozy this evening on the balcony stairs, twittering, and typing, and watching people walk by. Couple on the next balcony are snogging, which is a little awkward, […]

New Things

By in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Painted a ton of little pictures I’m pretty happy with. Above, is Mr. Boggedy on the balcony. Serious Guy. That’s also the view from my Balcony, but he’s just imaginary. More funny little pictures. The edges are masked with painter’s tape. The green type with slightly less tack, which can be “left on for 60 […]

Colourful Day

By in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women

Went to the park at East Mont Royal Ave today. Mont Royal used to be a working class street, with taverns and fast food restaurants. Now, with the emergence of the Plateau as a trendy neighbourhood, it’s a place where people go to be seen. So, I thought I’d draw some of them. The dog […]

Animules, etc.

By in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolour, women

I just like the colour. Lotsa work to do, and I’ve been slacking off. The usual worries, but I hope things will be all right.

May Day

By in dogs, sketches, women

Happy 1st of May, if that means something to you. These are just a couple more drawings, in one case gingerly approaching work that I’m doing.

Nightmare Puppy Dogs

By in dogs, men, watercolour, women

Failed painting. I’m still putting it up here, because it looks vaguely Edvard Munch-like. Reading a how-to-draw book which said that before you draw, you should visualize the head of a cute pet coming through the paper, and draw as if you’re caressing that head. But I just drew the head, added legs and a […]

This Always Happens…

By in cats, dogs, men, montreal, sketches, women

I’ve been in a bit of a mood lately, and not posting much. But still drawing things. Some of which are clever, or all right. I’ve actually got 3 comic strips on the go, which I’d like to finish. Those, of course, are all brilliant. We’ll see. In the meantime, because Easter weekend was warm, […]

Pugs, and Skeleton Dude

By in dogs, montreal, sketches, women

I haven’t been posting very much! Sorry. Haven’t been in the mood. I like this drawing of a woman and her pug, however. Something extra. I’ve been seeing these little cutouts of this skeleton dude and his toaster around the neighbourhood. Snapping them with my camera, before they get taken down, because these things don’t […]
