It's day 30, the penultimate day of #inktober and the prompt is #Vacant I generally prefer when these are vacant.

It's day 27 of #inktober already and todays prompt is #onion I should point out that I hate doing #stipple because I seem to be doing it constantly. It's a lot of dots. Rather a lot. So many dots.

It's day 23 of #inktober, the prompt is #firefly so #serenitynow. I know I'm referencing two unrelated shows in one hashtag there. I am a professional, please don't try this at home.

We're 2/3 through #inktober at day 20 with #rivals. I could have gone with Mozart and Salieri but I drew this and it's in ink so there you go. To be fair in my experience they're mostly allies.

It's day 19 of #inktober and the prompt is #arctic. Yeah, I know, they live in the Antarctic not the Arctic but Sue wanted to be included and this was the closest one.

Day 16 of #inktober brings us to #blunder. I've definitely never done this. Also never spent an hour making a joke that maybe 2 people will get. 😁

Day 14 of #inktober brings us to #trunk. While Daisy is a little sad that you can't pick up snacks with your nose she's mostly excited to see what you've brought with you.
