I don’t actually prefer a short pencil, I just get a little hysterical when the lead breaks off inside the pencil when I’m trying to sharpen it. I hate that.

Bronze Age Hoard
By Jack Ruttan in Blender 3D, digital
It’s either that, or a child’s playset.
At any rate, I’m childishly thrilled that I can create realistic-looking objects out of my head using the Blender 3D software. The carpet was kind of an accident. #b3d

Magical Neon
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, color, pen and ink, sketches, watercolor, watercolour
This is a page I drew this summer with the help of magical neon gel pens I collected at the depanneur over the weeks, at a dollar a pop.
I still haven’t figured out how to incorporate them into serious drawings (if that’s what I do), or know if they are archival quality.

A doodle I made answering @inkyelbows challenge [link here] You can see other responses via the hashtag #2018doodle . Thought I should have it here in my blog. Don’t know why I thought of Star Wars. Guess it’s the recent movie, which I haven’t seen.
