Another sketchbook page.
That’s my Auntie Griselda in the upper left-hand corner. The rest of the people mainly come from magazines, such as “Exclaim,” and those glossy promotional ones you can pick up in cinemas.
I should colour all the drawings, but I guess I’m lazy.
This one took considerably longer than the first one. Then again, I did actually write something, plus there are backgrounds and more figures. Inspired by all the construction noise around here every summer. There will probably be more on this theme.

I’ve been feeling down about doing comics these days, because it usually takes a lot of time. So I did this thing, and it only took me a few hours. That makes me happy.
I like the rough sketchy treatment. But I will spend more time on the story aspect, next time, obviously.

My friend has a nice back yard. Did some little paintings there the other day, featuring her cat.
Something vaguely Shakespearean/Elizabethan, in pen and coloured pencil.
Should have noted where this was. I think it’s rue Fullum below Ontario. In Montreal, for you strangers.
She was especially mewy today. But then again, that’s how she always is.
I’m drawing a lot. Just not putting it up. I shouldn’t do that, I know. Keep up with things.
The weather is warmer, so people are wearing less. They’re more interesting to draw, and I’m also on my perch on the balcony to draw them. Above are a pair of women. Trying to channel R. Crumb with the one on the right.
Below are some hippie types in a nearby park. I’m sorry they’re not very detailed. They tended to move a lot.
It’s been a pleasant afternoon, and after some work, I sat on the balcony and painted people who were going by, in opaque watercolour.
Drew a tiger while on the phone last night. And then coloured and textured it here.
Wedgewood Dr. A short written and directed by Jonathan Balazs, with paintings by Jack Ruttan.
I’ve not stopped drawing things, just gotten out of the habit of putting them up. Still banging away at digital painting, which I might share some other time.
In the meantime, here are some warm-up faces. I draw tons of faces. I prefer to kind of originate things, rather than draw too closely to a photograph.
