Inktober 9 - 15

Tomorrow I'm going to call Inktober half way done. And I'm still shocked at my consistency. I'm learning a lot. I'm squeezing in the time to draw. It's really challenging, but is also really rewarding.

I should post more often so I don't have 7 at a time – eek.

Day 9: Skulls in Hats. Fun to get the watercolors out for this one.

Day 10: I ran the Queen Bee Half and did this to commemorate my time (and PR!)

Day 11: After spending a day at the Ohio Renaissance Festival, I drew ye olde monster in his Ren Faire outfit eating a juicee turkey legge.

Day 12: An evil juggler and his poor pumpkins. 

Day 13: My FAVORITE so far. Cloud airship.

Day 14: Just a fashionable girl walking her Dinodrog.

Day 15: The cutest vampire who ever un-lived.

Into the Stars

This was a painting I just did for my husband's co-worker who lost her baby nephew. His name was Nashton and he had crazy hair. On the back of the painting, I wrote the following quote from The Little Prince:

"For you, though, for you it will be different. When you look up at the sky at night, since I'll be living on one of them, since I'll be laughing on one of them, for you, it'll be as if all the stars are laughing."

Movember

Greg is leading up the Movember celebration at his company and is giving awards. He had a limited budget, which only got him one prize from the Art of Shaving store at the mall. So that award goes to Best Moustache.

For the other two...I did award drawings, so he at least has a certificate. :)

And so...The Creepiest Moustache and Wildest Moustache awards:

Some more old art since I haven't really been drawing...
Not sure if these sea lions were being cute or fighting...
