Inktober 2018 Review
Inktober 2018 has shown how gigantic this challenge has become! There are so many people showing off their skills or even trying their hands at a new medium which is very fun to see. I ended up only doing a half marathon this year. Time was scarce and stress was high, so I did myself […]
Inktober 2017 Review
Inktober 2017 is finished! 6 years in a row I’ve been able to participate in this challenge. That’s a total of 186 drawings at an average of 2 hours each… well, let’s just say a LOT of hours with a pen in my hand trying to improve my skills, communicate ideas, and engage with the […]
Inktober 2016 Review
Inktober 2016 is in the record books! I can’t believe I’ve been blessed enough to participate, and complete, 5 Inktober marathons now. It is always so much fun AND so much work! This year I tried to work smarter and cut out some of the production. Cell phone pics replaced polished scans, and social media […]
Inktober 2015 Review
Inktober 2015 is finished! This was another great year putting random ink into a Moleskine journal for the sake of creative process, honing technique, and making it famous. Well… maybe not the famous part ;) I’m still trying to nail my particular style, but also like to see how versatile I can get while I figure […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 31
The end is here! The marathon is over! Now what do I do with all my time!? After talking through an idea with a colleague at work this past week, I decided to pay tribute to one of the greats of our time… Hashtag the Dancing Panda from the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon! He’s […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 30
I really wanted to draw a sea monster. Its strange that scales and tentacles not have yet to make it into one of my drawings this year. So much for tradition!? But I did keep it cheesy! I thought it would be fun to take the concept of whale watching and substitute sea monsters in […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 29
It has been a very busy season for me, so a lot of my initial ideas for Inktober came from a single trip to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch with my family. I sometimes get in the mode and every little thing that inspires an idea gets recorded on my phone, usually with my camera. I really […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 28
Star Wars is coming! I don’t think I really know what that means yet, but I do know it has been a-buzz on the inter webs and has a new droid thingy so I thought I’d draw it. I don’t know why Yoda is here or if he is even in the movie, but I […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 27
Ask I type this, my village is being raided by Vanek! Anyway, moving forward with this Clash of Clans mini-series, I decided again to get cute again take a familiar scene and mash it a bit. This is a Giant magically producing a Wizard who has magically produced a rabbit… Tad-a! I’m not too thrilled […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 26
True confession… I play Clash of Clans. I am in a clan with some friends at work and we sometimes take it more seriously than we should. One thing I love about the game, though, is how creative the characters are. I love the personalities in the commercials and the quirky style. I didn’t want […]
