In an attempt to comically combine the two days’ drawings, I opted to take the prompt “What Lies in the Mist” literally. Therefore, the hook that Archie and Veronica found dangling from their car door yesterday, we see today belonged to an unfortunate trick or treater dressed up as a […]

So many urban legends to pick from, but I chose the notorious campfire story about the hookman and the couple on Lover’s Lane. The whole story seems kind of 50s to me, so I put a classic 50s car in the drawing and populated it with a couple that seems […]
Having upped the ante by making myself combine two days when they share a spread in the sketchbook, I’m glad Drawlloween upped the ante also, by coming up with some punny and more elaborate categories this year. Since the prompt is meant to sound like the “Better Homes & Gardens” […]
Day Four and the first part of the newest combined drawing spread will be a lovely farm of tentacles inked in the sketchbook. Stay tuned for Day 5 tomorrow.
Day three of Drawlloween. Today is MUMMY MONDAY and I added a mummy exhibit to the carnival sideshow and had the poor, embalmed fellow getting his wrappings tangled in one of the carny’s poorly-maintained rides that is going off the rails. The poor fellow was just trying to get some […]
For “Carnival Creeps” I went with a trio and instead of the stereotypical “evil clown” I just went with a slightly creepy one with a “Free Hugs” sign, along with the type of carny guy running the poorly-inspected ride that makes most stand-up comic’s routines and lastly, the lady serving […]
Last year I participated in one of the online art challenges, like Inktober, in an effort to make myself draw more and draw on paper instead of digitally, the way I do most of my work now (except for party caricatures, of course, but if I get an iPad Pro […]
May 3rd is apparently “National Teacher Appreciation Day” (and also May 1-7 is National Teacher Appreciation Week). That may not seem particularly newsworthy, as every single day of the year has been proclaimed, designated, or sanctioned to be one or more particular days of something or other. I’m taking advantage of this particular […]
Day 30: SPIDER Day 31: DRAGON I couldn’t help but keep the comic book character theme going until the last day. Spider, of course, made me do Spider-man, and he is fighting on the next page, Iron Man villain, Fin Fang Foom! for the dragon. That was an enjoyable exercise […]
I need to get back to drawing by hand and using ink and using my sketchbooks and I love to draw creepy stuff and Halloween is my favorite holiday and so this all culminates into me using the #drawlloween social media prompt to make me DO all this stuff!. Here […]
