Hey look it’s a GARden. Inspired by it being Gar week this week, which is apparently a thing that I now know about because of OK Dept. of Wildlife Conservation.

Balancing act scribbles.

Watercolor and ink drawing of tightrope walkers layered on top of one another and seen from below the wire. The woman leans to her left and holds a red umbrella. The man leans to his right. Their lower bodies are very similarly positioned so as to seem almost like one body.

Love the no-stakes creative play that happens with live portrait drawing with Instagram.com/drawingisfree_org and instagram.com/pencils4tea. One song, one pose - a chance to just explore creatively without judgement in connection with people all around the world. Truly magical and life-breathing.

#inktober days 29-31
#lesson - he looked his gift horse in the mouth 😱
#vacant - think positive guys, it’s vaCAN
#award - a ward
Ink drawing of person with shocked eyes and hand over his mouth. A horse is behind him with a large gift bow on his head and a gift tag reading “a gift for you” Ink drawing of a person with a freaky smile and dressed like Stuart smaller of SNL stands in front of an empty lot between two houses. A “for sale” sign is in the ground, while the person holds a sign reading “vaCAN” Ink drawing of a woman inspired by nurse Ratched from the “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” movie. She is gesturing for you to enter an open door leading to a ward occupied by 5 men inspired by the characters of the movie.

Day 12 of #inktober - #shredded.
Some shredded cheese for you.
Also, I might have been tired and delirious, but I thought a version with Marge from Fargo’s woodchipper scene was called for. 🤷‍♀️
