October is here!!!!! Happy Inktober! Happy art challenge month! These started as doodles during 2024(?) And I love this drawing because you can draw ANYTHING in October! 👻

A digital drawing of a bunch of animals but all the animals are covered in a white sheet like a 'ghost' for Halloween.

It's officially sweater weather according to my dog, Grant. Made some really great food, tried a new craft. A few projects got to be posted! A kickstarter with art I made! A cute soup lamb! Fanart sent to some authors. I posted ALL my cringy old art. I am very excited to do the redraws for October!

A 3x3 grid with some photos from September. A photo of the very good looking eggs benedict. A photo from the 'of swords and starlight' kickstarter with my art. A sticker design for Amanda Cole's book. Cyanotype print making. Cool clouds. My dog in a green frog sweater. A blue jay feather I painted. A title page from one of my inktober posts.

October is almost here! These are the five old drawings I'm going to re-draw this October! I'm hoping to post them on Friday all month! 4/5 are from 2017 and the last one is from 2018. I still love the ideas and concepts and they deserve a little update. #inktober #inktober2026

So when I was digging around for my old Inktober drawings, I found the very first photo I ever saw of Grant! Friends of Homeless Animals RI @fohari posted this from his foster home! He's a little tiny baby!

A little brown chihuahua is sitting on an outdoor couch. Some stickers on the image are a word bubble that say "hi" and his name, Grant

2018 Inktober was full of SO MANY drawings that I love! I tried coloring and adding more shading to the drawing. It's really cool to see how the traditional looks vs black and white shading vs the color. Which version do you like the best?

A drawing of a flower but instead of buds, they are little skulls. From left to right: traditional ink, colored in black and white digitally, colored digitally. All give different vibes

I can explain..... I can't explain. 2018 I think I was working a ton and took a big break from art. I did leave a hilarious note to myself and there is nothing in that folder 🤣 I did draw this collage of octopi for a friend. 🐙🦑🐙🦑🐙🦑

A collage of pink squishy octopuses doing things like golf, walking the dog, being a chef.
