Busy, and kind of worn out today, but I had time to paint this colonial guy.

Graveyard Fun
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenGraveyards are pleasant places to sit and think. Look over the names, even paint watercolours. Wait … WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??!!! Here’s a watercolour painter and comic artist who’s been an influence on me, lately, explaining her technique, in a graveyard. [link]

More Zombies
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBut they’re vegetarian Zombies, I tell you. I had the brainstorm, a little too close to Hallowe’en of offering to zombify, vamp or monsterize people’s twitter icons for that frightening evening. So, I’m drawing tons of zombies. Want to set up a web page where I can sell these, and other art things, but haven’t […]

Trying to do Zombies
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenThat’s my thing at the moment. This is a link to some of my research material. One of those brilliant ideas I hope works, though I wish I had it earlier. We’ll see how it goes. Tough doing creepy monstrous stuff when you’re mainly used to cute and quirky. But always good to expand one’s […]

A Hard Life
By Jack Ruttan in men, watercolourPainted this guy in the book. Then cut out the pic and stretched the paper. So, it’s a little more easy to scan, etc.

Funny faces and a Yellow Plane
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenFeeling more confident about my watercolour work. That means, along with doing stuff in my books, I’ll work on some stretched, better-quality paper, which will make things smoother, and easier to scan. I like painting in the books, and putting a lot of effort into preparing something makes me nervous, and leads to bad drawings. […]

Wrapping Up the Sketchbook
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenOne of my sketchbooks is almost full. So, I went through it, painted new pictures, and coloured old ones. That means a real grab-bag of images. Which are attractive? Which “work?” It’s interesting to figure out. The things I like the most are the ones that help tell a story. That means comic “strips,” (none […]

Who? What?
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenI can’t think of a title for this post. It’s just a lot of paintings, etc. I’ve been doing.

Women and Men at Work
By Jack Ruttan in men, ruttan's place, watercolour, womenConstruction outside of my place this afternoon made it tough to work. So, I sat outside, breathed asphalt fumes, and painted this. Don’t know if the crew would have appreciated it. This was the lone girl, working with a bunch of guys. I’ve further documented the building going on in front of my house on […]

Monochrome, but Bi-Planes and Tri-Planes.
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, women… but first, a Moonbeam McSwine type. Most of the sketchbook drawings come about as a “hey, a dog would look nice over there,” or a lot of things on a page. Rarely any planning. Actually, I have to work on that. Setting myself a subject ahead of time, and accomplishing it.

Nautical
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolourJust a nautically-themed daub because of those ships I saw on the weekend. I may try a better painting of a sailing ship, but they’re hella complicated. And I hate it when the larboard mainsheet is connected to the mizzen, and all that. Too late for “talk like a Pirate day,” however, which is just […]

Leather
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenJust a funny, kind of Matrix-y couple.

Road to Perdition
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketchesThat’s the movie I’m watching, rather than getting to bed. I feel like a beer right now, but everything is closed or too far away.
