Inktober #11

"If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. Make at least one definite move daily towards your goal." - Bruce Lee

Ah, the creation story behind this blog. Good intentions are just that; without moving into action, intentions are reduced to time thinking about a thing, never bearing the fruit of a marriage with effort.

The ol' Wacom has been collecting some serious dust this month. I have totally fallen back in love with pen and paper...shall I continue into Inkvember? Inksgiving?

Inktober #10

Why are there no good artichoke jokes on the internet? If you know any, please share.

There were referenced off of a photo I took on the side of the road in Napa this past summer. Made it to #10! I now consider my first Inktober a success.

Inktober #9

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Inktober #8

Inky quick mountain doodle of an elk grazing at the bottom of the Yosemite Valley before bed.

Inktober #7

Although I love it seeing brush pen work, I don't get it at all...shit is hard to control. I'd rather scratch away with my fine-tipped microns or these Hi-Tec-C's that I've been loving this month. At least it was a good experiment. :P

Inktober #6

Lieutenant Birdthalemew von Vogelsang IV
reported for duty and headed up north
through desert dunes and sandy storms
he flew not by plane
but instead feathered forms.

Inktober #5

Sitting in her invisible chair
the Peacock Goddess didn't care
enough to put on any pants
all she needed were heels to dance.

Inktober #4

I've been getting really inspired by all of the fantastic sketchbooks that I see other artists do. Today's 15 minute inktober experiment was inspired by Ian McQue.

Coyote Sam, on top of a hill
howled at the moon, before getting his fill
of the countryside, fresh air and trees
he moved to the city, and now pays bridge fees.

Inktober #3

Fire-Crested Chihuahua. Started out with a Chinese-crested, and then he caught on fire, heh.

Flaming Fritzie
likes his dogbones charred
and his nails untrimmed
- in his own backyard.

Inktober #2

Been loving this!  I was really into drawing and inking comics back in high school. Haven't done pen and ink for a while, much less markers.

It was a treat to open up my prismacolors from college and find out that they're all still in good working order. :)

Inktober #1

I've been crunching my face off at work, and subsequently painting dropped to all all time low. I'm late to the party, but will be taking a break from digital and spitpainting to do Inktober.

Aiming for 10 this month!
