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, […]

Out of my Head…
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenI mean FROM my head, of course. More things drawn, because I’m mad about drawing. Women, of course, because the burlesque assignment continues (though that’s often just an excuse). It’s wet today, so no drawing from the balcony. I’m wondering if people think I’m strange, because I’m out there so often. Interested in odd body […]

Portraits
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenSome painted faces. Man, the new flickr.com layout was a pain, but I’m able to keep to the old one for the moment. Otherwise, no images for the blog!

Old Port
By Jack Ruttan in men, montreal, sketches, watercolour, womenI enjoyed doing these pictures of the Old Port, painting away while people on wheels and feet sailed past me. I’m the crazy hairy guy with the paint box, which is all right with me. Funny, though, how when you sit down, suddenly 400 school kids on lunch break sit in the same area you […]

Back to Fun
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBeen a little down lately, so it’s been hard to blog. Still, there are some things in the sketch books, waiting to go up. Today, it’s colour, squinty people, and trees. I’ve also been to a lot of meetings lately. Mainly dull or complaining, full of ironic laughter at the terrible situation writers and artists […]

L’Écho d’un fleuve
By Jack Ruttan in men, montreal, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolour, womenOne of the pleasures of living in this little neighbourhood here (whether it’s called “Centre Sud” or “Les Faubourgs” –I’m really not so sure) is the now annual urban art event L`Écho d’un Fleuve, taking place on rue Dufresne, just below my front door here on Rouen. Who’d have thought there were so many artists […]

Saint Denis and other places…
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, women…such as inside my head. I got out of the apartment around noon, and walked to rue Saint Denis, to sit in a coffee shop and draw passers-by. Unfortunately, the weather, while great for kite-flying, soon got a little sprinkly. So, I only managed the above sketch of a woman, bundled up. This guy below […]

More Burlesque Sketches
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, womenThough fitfully, I’m still doing drawings for Mlle. Oui Oui and the gang at Blue Light Burlesque. These are some more sketches, according to photos on flickr (I’m going to look these up and try to credit the photographers). Anyhow, I’m not making any money from them… Why has she got a surprised-looking guy half-transparent, […]

Melina Stinson, as the Duck Wife
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, womenHad to make a correction on this post, cause I had misidentified the person I was drawing. While I’m at it, I should credit the photo I used to Tristan Brand. Hope that’s all good, now. I did this computer-coloured sketch from the cover of the weekly newspaper, HOUR. The show, The Duck Wife, is […]

Legs and Other Things
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, womenI like this one. It’s fast and fashiony. Of course not all of these brushy things hit it off. Below, the usual fine-point roller pen:

New Things
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenPainted 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 […]

Belated Burlesque
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, womenI’m sorry, I’ve been a bit out of it, because of the unseasonal heat, and health complaints. Still sitting around, drawing, and twittering. Above is what I was drawing last Wednesday, at the monthly performance of Blue Light Burlesque. Mostly little bits and pieces. People moving, removing clothing (!) in the dark. Working on some […]

Colourful Day
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenWent 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 Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolour, womenI 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.
