INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #37: FEAR. “Much to learn, Plunger Monkey still has? I should think that by this point, my love for Star Wars and its influence on me as an artist as well as a person is pretty well established. In all of Star Wars (movies, shows, books, comics, games, etc), two

INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #36: CHILDHOOD. “Okay, there’s a few things to explain in this one. I tried to cram as many different little references to things that were a big part of my childhood as I could. In no particular order: 1. The overall composition is a reference to several Bill Watterson illustrations

INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #35: CAMEL. “Camels are strange animals. They’re even stranger to draw. I couldn’t come up with a good twist on this prompt. It didn’t spark any childhood memories of cartoons or toys or comics. There was no connection to anything that has influenced me in anyway. There’s only one famous

The very first thing that popped into my Brain when I saw this prompt was ‘caught in a landslide, no escape from reality’ from

INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #31: BOX. “I have always loved sword and sorcery novels. There are so many series and authors I have yet to dig into. I knew about Terry Prachett and his Discworld novels, I heard about them for years, but I didn’t read my first one until later in life. His

INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #30: TEETH. “This is another repeat prompt from a previous Inktober, so there was an extra challenge not to repeat myself. As usual, I also wanted to steer clear of the obvious or literal. The thing that kept popping up in my Brain was Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #29: TRAP. “I had a tough time coming up with the idea for this one. The prompt ‘trap’ already showed up in a previous Inktober, and I played off of the whole Admiral Ackbar line from Return of the Jedi, ‘It’s a trap!’ It was fun, I got to pay

INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #28: MERMAID. “I can’t say ‘The Little Mermaid’ was or is a favorite movie of mine, but I did see it in the theater and I do appreciate its place in pop-culture history.

I really wanted to avoid the obvious and literal of just having PMD climb something. I briefly toyed with the idea of
