This is a strange thing with hearts in it, that I made in 3D. So there you go!

Tom Swift
By Jack Ruttan in Blender 3D, digital
I did this for a Facebook “challenge,” meaning there was a call for illustrations on the subject of “Tom Swift and his [adjective] [adjective] [noun].
I used it as a chance to practice my 3D spaceships and various digital chops. I could rant a little about the non-user friendliness of the program Blender, but I’m not going to at this moment, early in the morning.

Short Pencil
By Jack Ruttan in Art Criticism, color, Gouache, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolour
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.

2018
By Jack Ruttan in digital, sketches
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.
