Something a little different. JM Ken Niimura shows off his sketchbook (actually, divided among 5 artists) at last night’s Montreal Comic Jam. Rick Gagnon is there in the background. You can follow along, and discover these artists’ websites. Thanks to JM they are (in order): Enrique Lorenzo: http://enriquelorenzo.blogspot.com/ JM Ken Niimura:http://niimurablog.blogspot.com/ Alfonso Salazar: http://alfonso-salazar.blogspot.com/ Christian […]

Saw this pose on a poster for a play the other day, and drew my memory of it.

I’ve not been drawing tons. Trying to settle back into things, and relax. Cartoonists on Twitter are helping me do this, mainly through examples of their work. The figure in blue is mainly copied from a Love and Rockets comic panel. I think i like getting more into cartoony oddness, but enjoy trying to make […]

…Petals on a wet, black bough. Face sketches I’ve been doing, on the Metro, and at parties. Sometimes from TV!

Still really haven’t gotten the blog back on its wheels since the holiday break. I have a host of excuses! Mainly busy with work and stuff. But there are some interesting things coming up! That’s if I’m not distracted by twitter, or doing meaningless graphics in illustrator. Happy to be making at least a little […]

I like ones with background detail better. But a pal of mine said I like to clutter things up. That’s all right.

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

Watching Gran Torino with an old Clint Eastwood put me in mind of my teen car. Much less impressive. Built a scale model of it, which I’ve kept on a shelf, and you can see on my tumblr space here. It was a 1974 Mercury Bobcat, not a Pinto. That’s about all I want to […]

Not posting much, I’m afraid. But I’m getting into drawing while I’m waiting for the metro, as these sketches suggest. The first one, done a while ago, I don’t think I put up: The second one was just yesterday, after returning home from an event. What great worn out and diverse faces you can find […]

I’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. […]

Into 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.

Busy with stuff, not blogging much at the moment. Still drawing things, however. Even things as oddball as these two.

Okay, 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.

…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 […]
