    Inktober 2021: Second Half

    I didn’t end up doing as many prompts as I would have liked to. As time went on, I had ideas that I wasn’t quite able to figure out in my head yet. For example Day 21: OMEN. I sketched out the general image in pencil, but couldn’t quite figure out how to make it work. I didn’t have the image in my head at all; just the idea (more on that later). I set it aside. It was a piece i was going to draw, but it had to wait until I was ready to ink it in or I’m just wasting paper. There were several prompts I still…

    Inktober 2021: First Half

    I think this is my fourth? fifth? year of participating in inktober, and my third year or #mabsdrawlloweenclub. This year I finally dropped the bad idea of doing the drawing on the day of instead of starting ahead. So while I’m posting in order, I worked on several pieces ahead of their post date. Life being life, I haven’t been doing every single day. You will be able to see in this set of new pieces that I am working in a very specific style. Day 15 I actually completed in September. It took over a week and I had help from a couple of friends, as I had never…

    Inktober 2017 Days 13 – 31

    So I fell behind, and caught up, and fell behind.. So here are the rest! Note, many of the pieces are still available, and links to purchase are underneath if they are still in need of homes. In spite of everything I finished on time! That was a LOT. Thank you to everyone who called suggestions to me and I know I didn’t manage to get to everyone’s suggestions, but there is always next year! So enjoy these, and pick one up for yourself if you missed out. On to Crowvember! Day 13 “Antifa birb at a protest wearing half a walnut shell as a riot helmet.” – David Purchase…

    This is a portrait of Willem Dacrowe, Fancy Mammal’s stunt crow wearing a witch’s hat. He’s inspired by my friend Shana who is doing a witch a day for October. See her amazing embroidery work here. 6 x 6 ink on paper. The original is no longer available, but you can find products with his likeness printed on him on my Society6 page.

    Inktober 2017 Day 4 (and 5)

    EDITED for an explanation of Day 5.Inktober 2017 days 4 and 5. I know, Inktober is a drawing a day, but I was so so pleased to finish this drawing on day 4 with just 20 minutes to spare, and I stuck it on the scanner, and posted it. Then I noticed so many spots that weren’t done. Most often I don’t do colour. My partner in crime does the colour in most of the artwork we collaborate on, and I usually stick to black and white with the occasional accent, but this drawing *needed* colour. What do I have aside from a few random fancy pens I use to…

    Inktober 2017 Day 2

    Sometimes I ask on twitter: Draw a(n)_____________. I can’t always get to everything, but I do often mange. A ladybug in tap shoes was the response I got yesterday from my friend David. So here we are. I can only imagine the tiny clicks of his tap shoes. 6 x 6 ink on paper. I added him to Society6.
