It’s Inktober Day 17 and today’s prompt is salty. One word with so many ways to represent it. I opted for the good old fashioned Philly pretzel. There’s nothing like a hot Philly pretzel straight out of the oven, slathered with brown mustard, spicy or not, I don’t care. Philly pretzels are amazing. Delis andContinue reading “Inktober Day 17”

Inktober Day 16
Over the mid month hump and into a prompt most “fowl.” There are a ton of birds that fit this category, but I went with a chicken. Chickens are pretty cool. They come in all sorts of shapes and feathers. I like the ones that look like they have chicken hair dos. Chickens are usuallyContinue reading “Inktober Day 16”
Inktober Day 15
The middle of the month is here, if you don’t count the fact that they are 31 days in October. It is the 15th day of the Inktober Challenge and today’s prompt is “armadillo.” Armadillos are these odd creatures that most of the time, Floridians see them on the side of the road as roadkill.Continue reading “Inktober Day 15”
Inktober Day 13
Today is Inktober Day 13 and the prompt is “kind.” I almost pulled out a KIND bar for this one. We have two different types of Kind Bars in the closet and my first thought was to sketch one of them. It would have been fun. I can still do it even though I alreadyContinue reading “Inktober Day 13”
Inktober Day 12
Whew! Day 12! Almost halfway through the month. Wow, October is blazing by! Today’s prompt, “forget,” was a little tough since the concept could be a little abstract or could be an expression or even a verb action. This one almost stumped me a little. I had to give this one some thought about howContinue reading “Inktober Day 12”
Inktober Day 11
Whoo hoo Day 11! Today’s prompt is Eagle. Our National Bird. Eagles are really cool and I have been lucky to see many eagles in the wild. One really good place for eagle spotting is Assateague Island, VA. Actually, the whole MD/VA Eastern Shore is a great spot for eagle watching. I was driving toContinue reading “Inktober Day 11”
Inktober Day 10
Well I made it to Day 10. Happy Monday Everyone. Today’s prompt is crabby. I went for the crustacean although I imagine some folks may go with a cranky person. I am fond of crabs, both watching them in nature, and the consumption of the Blue Claw persuasion. We used to catch blue claws whenContinue reading “Inktober Day 10”
Inktober Day 9
Happy Sunday! We are up to Day 9 of the Inktober Challenge and today’s prompt is Nest. I opted for the bird’s nest interpretation of the prompt. There are a lot of interesting bird nests out there, but some of the more quirkiest nests are from birds that aren’t real, but imagined. This is oneContinue reading “Inktober Day 9”
Inktober Day 8
It’s the eighth day of the Inktober Challenge and today’s prompt is “match.” Now I have to admit, the first thing I thought of to skate by this one was to draw a match stick and be done with it. That was a pretty simple solution. OK, I could have sketched a pack of matchesContinue reading “Inktober Day 8”
Inktober Day 7
Today’s Inktober prompt is “trip.” Now this is a word that could be interpreted in a few different ways. For instance, is someone taking a trip? Can you use luggage? An airplane? A train station? Platform 9 3/4? Animal House road trip? Business trip? The word “trip” then takes on a more vacation or travelContinue reading “Inktober Day 7”
