The official prompt list for this years Inktober has several items that so far have had me completely stumped, or at least stumped for ways to give them a Halloween twist. Today’s prompt was the first of these. Having watched[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today’s prompt, Star, was a tough one, especially I couldn’t picture it in a Halloween context. A good friend of mine suggested I try to look at it in the context of a movie star with monster divas threatening to go[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
