Inktober Day 13: Guarded

Because of yesterday's Witch event in Wyandotte I'm a little late in getting the next sketch up. It was almost done yesterday, but alas, wasn't meant to be. So, here is 'guarded.' I'll see what I can do about today's word prompt and if not the tomorrow.

In the meantime, don't touch my pumpkin.

Inktober Day 12: Whale

Today's word prompt is 'whale.' This whale skull belongs to that of a Culver's beaked whale.

Someone should make a movie about animal skeletons and ghosts that come back to haunt us for all the cruelty inflicted on them by us. That would be cool.

Inktober Day 11: Cruel

Today's Inktober word prompt is 'Cruel.' 

And that's what this is, plain and simple.

Inktober Day 10: Flowing

A little splash of color for today's Inktober image. Otherwise, it could be thought of as something else, you know, something just plain old wrong.

Anyways, today's word prompt is 'flowing.' 

Witches of Wyandotte

This Saturday, the 13th, you will find me at the River's Edge Gallery in Wyandotte, MI for Shop The Dotte's event Witches of Wyandotte. So, I am hearing that there will be a parade of witches through the downtown area and maybe some kind of zombie event later in the day. The event goes from 11am to 6pm, so join me and gallery director and all-around fun guy Jeremy Hansen for the festivities. I will be doing sketches and will have my more horror related prints and such for sale. I will even bring some copies of my latest collection of cartoons, The Feral Cartoonist, which does have a horror/crime section, so it fits. 

So, click on the above links for details and if you are in the area, stop on by. It should be interesting.

Inktober day 9: Precious

So, the word 'Precious' is going to elicit one of two responses by artists for this day's Inktober drawing. I chose the obvious one.

Although, I did toy with the idea of a very large Gollum....

Inktober Day 8: Star

So, here we are a week in to the Inktober challenge. So far so good. Today's prompt word is 'Star.' I was going to do a cheesy cartoon star, a literal cartoon star as a celebrity type star, but thought it would be more appropriate to do something with Lou Reed, since I am currently reading his bio. So, I tried to portray this star as an aging star/person, but with the Velvet Underground glasses. I'm not sure just what Reed thought of stardom, it seems like it was a difficult balance even if he desired it. I don't think that Lou Reed ever pretended to be hopeful or optimistic, but I do believe he was striving for it.

Stars in the eyes of a rock n roll animal.
