Inktober 52 2023 Day #15: Prowl
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #15: PROWL. The original 1980s Transformers are the best Transformers, no question (and even though watching so many of my favorite Autobots die-especially Optimus Prime-was traumatizing, I’ll still argue that the 1985 animate Transformers The Movie is better than all the modern live-action versions). They were just such cool designs.
Inktober 52 2023 Day #14: Tears
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #14: TEARS. I struggled with an idea for this prompt. Leave it to the English language to have a word spelled the same way, but pronounced very differently and have an extremely different definition. Tears, as in crying, didn’t inspire anything. Even this pronunciation of the word had me drawing
Inktober 52 2023 Day #13: Giant
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #13: GIANT. Don’t worry, Plunger Monkey is in no danger. Not only is he a professional plungerer, but he has a great rapport with the cephalopod community (I have a loose story kicking around in the back of my Brain about that). I had a lot of options for directions
Inktober 52 2023 Day #12: Constellation
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #12: CONSTELLATION. One almost would have thought this idea would have come together more easily considering we named one of our kids after a constellation. Plus, I’ve always enjoyed star gazing, though I don’t make as much time to do it these days. A clear night devoid of light pollution
Inktober 52 2023 Day #11: Hawk
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #11: HAWK. Behold: Hawk-Monkey! I’ve always been a Marvel comics guy, I’m much more familiar with those characters and stories. However, I did watch a lot of the DC cartoons and had a bunch of DC Superheroes action figures. One of my favorites was Hawkman. I just thought he looked
Inktober 52 2023: Frame
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #10: FRAME. This one has a very Calvin and Hobbes vibe for me, despite not being a direct reference. There were so many different directions I could have gone with this prompt once I started thinking about it. Picture frame, glasses frames, framing a wall for construction, a cold frame
Inktober 52 2023 Day #9: Botany
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #9: BOTANY. I really struggled with an idea for this one. I mean, botany, really? What a weird thing to illustrate. I almost went with a Disney Magic Kingdom style shaped shrubbery, but obviously PMD instead of that other guy, and of course topped off with a plunger. It just
Inktober 52 2023 Day #8: Pup
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #8: PUP. A baby Wookie is a pup, right? That’s what I’m going with. Oh hey, look, another Star Wars reference. I’m not the first or the best to have ever drawn a baby Chewbacca, but I’m certainly A person to have drawn a baby Chewbacca. I found coming up
Inktober 52 2023 Day #7: Odd
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #7: ODD. I struggled with this prompt at first. PMD is, like, normal to me, but he’s actually kind of odd, if I step back and think about it I guess. Everything he does is pretty bizarre and “out there”. I decided to turn to google for inspiration, as I
Inktober 52 2023 Day #6: Skull
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #6: SKULL. Chances are, if it was a cartoon in the 1980s with an associated toy line, I’m a fan. He-Man was a cool blend of science fiction and fantasy that certainly captured my attention and imagination in my youth. I can’t say it was as influential for me as
Inktober 52 2023 Day #5: Mighty
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #5: MIGHTY. I have always loved comics, and when I was young I read pretty much exclusively Marvel (there were some Dark Horse titles I grabbed, too, and then a bunch of the hot Marvel creators left and started Image, so I also followed some of those titles by the
Inktober 52 2023 Day #4: Angel
INKTOBER 52 2023 Day #4: ANGEL. Okay, first a little back story to explain this one. When I first started dating my wife, one of the many things we bonded over was a love of fantasy books and video games. She introduced me to one of the greatest fantasy role playing game franchises of












Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
