Well, the Halloween season is officially here and with it this year’s Inktober sketch challenge. Usually, I go completely random picking monsters out of the magic Tupperware, but this year I’ve been trying to pass it off as a group event with[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The list said that the drawing for the day was “summon day” which could only mean draw a summoning, right? Summoning a demon is one of the oldest chestnuts around and I haven’t seen it done seriously by anyone who[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
According to the list, today’s sketch is “tombsday” which I suppose was meant to be Vampires but I like to think outside the box. Besides, sometimes the best way to get ideas is not to take these things seriously… My[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Today’s prompt “Cornfield Capers” only yielded two things in my mind, Children of the Corn and Corn Mazes. Since the only image I could think of for Children of the Corn was people crucified in the middle of fields, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Well, I just hit the halfway point and am feeling good. Today’s prompt, Carnival Carnage was a bit of a puzzler for me. All I could think of was thinking about it was Mr. Dark from Ray Bradbury’s “Something Wicked[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
