Inktober Day 22

Ooooo, today is a fun word. Heist. One movie came to mind, “Tower Heist” with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. I cracked up through that movie and was especially delighted when the Tower staff was distracted from their duties by the Thanksgiving parade. Adults that are young at heart, I loved it. The woman hittingContinue reading “Inktober Day 22”

Inktober Day 20

Eleven more days to go! Whoo hoo! Today’s prompt is “bluff.” I thought about sketching people playing cards or a game. I also considered poker or Texas Hold’em, you know, games where you have to bluff. I bluff all the time when we play “Cover Your Assets.” This is a great game that I highlyContinue reading “Inktober Day 20”

Inktober Day 19

Wow, 13 days to Halloween and 13 days left in the Inktober Challenge. Today’s prompt is ponytail and I decided to have a little fun today with…..a pony! Yeah, I could have done a girl with a ponytail but I thought it would be more fun to draw a pony. A happy little thing withContinue reading “Inktober Day 19”

Inktober Day 17

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 14

The prompt for Day 14 is “empty.” My Chihuahuas, Chloe and Mack, are very food focused and empty plates are a cause to create a relentless nagging until they get their next meal. Because Chihuahuas can get hypoglycemic, especially as puppies, our dog children are fed small portioned meals spaced out three times a day;Continue reading “Inktober Day 14”

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 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”
