Loads of graphical play last night with friends at the Cock N’ Bull Bar. Rick and Marr were also doing crosswords, but those are much less interesting to look at. Above is my interpretation of some pool-playing characters, with a few lines and patches of black added by Rick. Below is Rick’s more graphical version […]

As promised, here’s the hot pool player that Rick beat the other night. I think she also beat the other guy, or at least he stopped playing as well as he had against Rick, for whatever reason. This is drawn just from memory. She maybe didn’t quite look so much like Morticia of the Addams […]

More Friday evening stuff, back at the bar. Above is a drawing by Marr which I watercoloured, and dressed up the people to make a 1960s scene, like I remember from Yorkville, Toronto’s glory days. Below is sort of by all three of us. I did two characters, Marr did a character (on the left), […]

The Gang in this case is me, Rick Gagnon, and Marr. Did a pile of drawings, at our usual haunt, the Cock N’ Bull, after 5 pm. Fridays. That’s happy hour until 7! Rick and I finished the above drawing last, but of course it was the most elaborate one, so it goes up first. […]

The drawings here, as they’ve been on most Saturdays since I’ve been blogging, are from the previous evening spent drawing with friends at the bar. Sadly, Marr was doing family stuff and wasn’t there, but Rick Gagnon and I were. We drew a bunch of stuff. Above is a drawing I made on the metro, […]

More drawings yet. There’s always one or two I seem to miss, back in the book. Above is my drawing with Rick’s expert dry-brushing. I wish I had made Orson bigger. He’s being taken to one of his later voice-over gigs. Maybe Optimus Prime in The Transformers. Below, the woman from last week has gained […]

More collaborative hijinks at the bar last night. This time, not so many drawings. I love the one above by Marr and R. Gagnon, with gun added by Yours Truly. Below is by Marr and I: Rick drawing with his magic brush pen: Something by Marr and I. Rick didn’t like the water, and tried […]

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 […]

Met with my friends at the bar last evening. Collaborated with a few sketches, which you see above and below. James up there was drawn by me, and inked by Rick Gagnon. This lady is a combination of my talents, and Marr’s: Something for Marr’s sketchbook: an old guy I drew, Marr inked, then I […]

If last week’s drawing and drinking session at the Cock N’ Bull carried on without me, this one started and finished without any of my input at all. I was sick, and had to beg off and stay home. Never mind, Richard Gagnon and Marr drew up a storm without me. Judging from these pictures […]

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.

I was pretty tired last night, so I retired early from the bar. My friends stuck around, but were soon chased away by the band setting up. They, however, went down the hill to R. Gagnon’s place, and kept drawing. Rick sent me evidence via e-mail of what happened. This looks like Rick a bit, […]

Above is the brilliant job Rick Gagnon did colouring Marr’s (Michael Arsenault’s) drawing from last week during our usual Friday night meeting at the Cock N’ Bull bar. But this wasn’t quite so usual, because instead of “Gagnon Friday,” this one could be called Gagnon, Marr, Simmons, Leblanc (and Ruttan) Friday. Below, Marr and Gagnon […]

Just found this one in my sketchbook, from the same Friday session as the last two posts. Central figure is drawn by Marr. The other characters by me; inks by all three of us, basically.
