INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #21: SELFIE. “I’ve drawn several PMD selfies at this point. I find them fun and amusing. Sometimes I think the actual human tendency towards selfies since the smart phone revolution is out of control, at least when it separates the selfie-taker from whatever moment they are in the middle of
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #20: MYTHOLOGY
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #20: MYTHOLOGY. “Mythology is fascinating and, in my opinion, a great source to mine for inspiration. Having it as an Inktober prompt was almost paralyzingly too broad, though. There’s just so much, because basically every culture that has ever existed has their own mythology. Greek myths are probably the most
PMD Wedding Card
(Interior art at the end of the post) Well, the family got a little bit bigger (but only in the legal sense, if we're being accurate). One of my cousins married the love of his life, which meant making them a one of a kind, Plunger Monkey card as congratulations. This is something I've
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #19: JAR (JAR)
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #19: JAR (JAR). “Would you look at that? Two ‘Star Wars’ references in a row! My love of ‘Star Wars’ is well-documented at this point. It’s been by far the biggest influence on me creatively. I was born in 1977, the year ‘A New Hope’ was released, so I’ve never
Mother’s Day Card 2024
Time marches on. The 2024 Mother's Day card for my dragon-loving better half. Every year I try to accomplish a few things. As always, I'm aiming to draw better today than I did yesterday, so I'm trying to demonstrate an improvement in skill. I also try to do a better job capturing the likenesses
Inktober 52 2024 Week #18: SPIRIT
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #18: SPIRIT. “It’s slightly amazing it took 18 prompts before I got a ‘Star Wars’ reference in. There was a lot of material I could play with here for the word ‘spirit’, but I was a bit hesitant. The interaction I wanted to reference was the scene on Dagobah between
Inktober 52 2024 Week #17: HISTORY
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #17: HISTORY. “Chalk this interpretation up to one that it is less than obvious. No, I don’t think history is boring. Far from it, I actually find it fascinating and it can really get my creativity fired up, especially when I stop and think about just how much we don’t
Inktober 52 2024 Week #16: BALL
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #16: BALL. “I first learned about M.C. Escher sometime in high school, but I’m not exactly sure when or the circumstance. It was possibly a print I got to look at in one of my art classes (which were all fantastic. I was fortunate to have an amazing teacher who
Inktober 52 2024 Week #15: RIVER
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #15: RIVER. “Depending on how well versed anyone may or may not be in Greek mythology, I may have to explain this interpretation of the prompt ‘river’. When I saw the prompt, two things came to mind: Billy Joel’s hit ‘River of Dreams’ (which has been stuck in my head
Inktober 52 2024 Week #14: SIDE KICK
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #14: SIDE KICK. “Look! Sidekicks doing side kicks! One could very easily make the argument that PMD, among many other things, is my sidekick. You could just as easily make the argument that I’m HIS sidekick. Anyway, I’ve always loved the side kick, even before I stepped onto my first
Inktober 52 2024 Week #13: SAMURAI
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #13: SAMURAI. “I have long had a fascination with and interest in anything and everything martial arts related, particularly the samurai. It’s very easy to get swept up in the romanticized version of the warrior class from feudal Japan. They embody physical and mental discipline, skill, loyalty, artistry, determination, honor
Inktober 52 2024 Week #12: SPRING
INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #12: SPRING. “This is my sentiment every spring. I suppose I don’t necessarily have anything really against the season. Seeing things blossom and ‘green up’ is cool, and that means trips to my ‘happy place’ (the magical beach my family has spent summers at for generations) are right around the
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
