INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #11: RACCOON. “The whole time I was working on this prompt, I kept thinking it was another repeat because I had drawn a ‘crab raccoon’ at some point. If you missed that and don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, years ago, my friend Jorj and I, after it

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #10: FLIGHT. “’Flight of the Navigator’ was such a fun movie with some great practical effects. I never had a reason to think about it or notice until I drew this image, but ‘Max’ (what the main character David decides to call the alien ship) has a very Plunger Monkey-esque

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #9: BALLOON. “Does this qualify as ‘meta’ or something? Self-aware? Kind of breaking the fourth wall? I don’t know what to say about this one, other than I personally find it hilarious. I can’t quite remember anymore when, how, or why I decided PMD ‘spoke’ via Wile E. Coyote signs.

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #8: ASTRONAUT. “Monkeys went to space before humans. Granted, they didn’t have much say in the matter, they were involuntary astronauts. It’s still an achievement for all monkey-kind. Sort of. Or maybe it was just unethical. It’s honestly not something I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about until

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #7: CAT. “…Get it? Almost an overwhelming number of directions I could have gone with his prompt, there are so many idioms and phrases with the word ‘cat’ in them. I considered revisiting an older drawing I did for my cat-loving son. I thought about famous cartoon cats like Sylvester,

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #6: COFFEE. “I know I’m in the minority in our coffee-obsessed culture, but I don’t like coffee. I don’t understand the appeal. I don’t like the taste, don’t like the smell, and it usually gets served hot. Hot liquids are evil. I don’t care how cold it is outside, whatever

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #5: FISH. “If you don’t recognize Fishy McFishington of the Cloudsworth Fishingtons, you need to go read ‘It’s Plunger Monkey Dynamo Time’. PMD and I first encountered him sailing through the sky atop a stack of sentient pancakes, which Fishy was in hot pursuit of because they are his favorite

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #4: SPLASH. “Chalk water up to one of those things I need to spend more time practicing. I really wracked my Brain trying to design this splash, and I’m not super happy with it. I wound up going more literal with this prompt because I didn’t have a better idea

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #3: LEGO. “Chalk this up to something I hope to see one day: a PMD LEGO minifig (and some kind of epic playset yet to be imagined…ooh! Maybe something in the realm of ‘Revery’…). I thought LEGOs were pretty big when I was younger, I certainly had my fair share

INKTOBER 52 2024 Week #1: HUNT. “’Be wery, wery quiet. I’m huntin’…monkey?!’ I seriously hope there isn’t a ‘monkey season’ somewhere in the world, but I’m too concerned that there probably is to look that up. The ‘Looney Toons’ and Bugs Bunny in particular were a staple of my cartoon watching growing up. The

INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #52: OLD. “’The Old Monkey of the Mountain’, if you will. It’s a strange but undeniable quirk of humans to find faces or human-like features everywhere we look. Tree bark, leaves, dirt, toast, electrical outlets, spilled coffee, parking meters, and of course rocks, just to name a few. I’m sure
