Things I’ve doing, and neglecting to put up. Pen and ink while watching a biography of the late Jean Giraud (Moebius). (Now taken down, sorry!) Admire his work greatly, but the whole “genius” tone of the doc was hard to deal with. Still, these people are giants in their field, and it’s not as easy […]

Depressing Comics
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesI was going through old stuff yesterday, looking for something I didn’t find (thought it was in the paper files, but I think rather it’s on the computer). Still, it helps to get to know your files. I still have trouble finding things I’m working on when it goes inside a drawer. Perhaps my drawers […]

Children and Safety
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedI went a little insane figuring out how to add the tone, but hope I’ve learned something. In the meantime, enjoy the comic. I hope to do more of these “casual” comics in the future, because I’ve got a notebook full of stories, and the full-dress style takes a long time.

Passel of Drawings
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenI sketch a lot more than I put up here. Thought it was time for some of those. Mainly out of my head, while watching DVDs, or live, in some cases. Those always make the best poses.

Roller Pen Drawings
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, womenCould call these “Pen and Ink,” but that seems too grand. The titles become dull also, because of the idea of putting something plainly descriptive in so search engines can find them.

Pen and Ink Cats, etc.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, womenMr. Boggedy only WISHES he could catch rats! It’s a pain thinking up clever titles for these posts of sketches, so I’m just going for the search engines! Here’s my old pal, Howard Shore (with a random DVD lady): Bonus! A woman pointing! Is she actually wearing anything, or am I just lazy? Could have […]

Eric Drooker at Drawn & Quarterly
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketchesThe other night I went up to the Drawn & Quarterly bookstore on Bernard Street, in the vaguely trendy area of Mile End in Montreal. Amazingly got a seat right by the lectern, with a view of the screen, as below. Drooker’s event was billed as a Workshop on Art and Activism, but it was […]

A Utopian Moment
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenSomebody asked me where the name “Utopia Moment” came from. It’s something I made up, when I was in a Brian Eno type of mood (he likes to give enigmatic titles to his pieces). I think it refers to the instant when everything feels perfect; but it’s so fleeting it’s hard to grab onto and […]

New Stuff…
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, women.. but somehow the same. Sigh. If anyone cares, that strange object in the upper right-hand corner is a doodle of an Italian drinking fountain I made to illustrate an anecdote to someone. Coloured it in.

People Sitting

Pleistocene Panic
By Jack Ruttan in UncategorizedI was freaking out over current events, and looking at a candle flame in my Swedish Lantern. Thought of this story, and drew it all in one night. I wonder if this argument actually took place long ago? Here’s a bonus Rachel Maddow:
