This year, I started out with my usual Drawlloween prompts, but added the extra difficulty of trying to also incorporate the prompts from other October drawing challenges, like Inktober and Mabs Drawlloween Club. This resulted in some odd compositions that took a while to render each day, and the results […]

Today is day 7, the last day of the Drawlloweek. That’s the new term I made up to bow out of the month-long, Drawlloween drawing challenge. I’ve done the entire month every year since 2015, but the hours I spend on each drawing seem to increase each time (and the […]
Today’s combination prompt drawing covers three lists. They are: Drawlloween 2019: “That Time We Stormed Area 51” Inktober 2019: “Husky” Mabs Drawlloween Club 2019: “Black Dog” I went back to drawing digitally for this one, despite it being also meant for Inktober, but since no one really polices these things, […]
On day four of this drawing challenge, I didn’t try to complete multiple list prompts into one drawing. I kept just the Drawlloween 2019 prompt of “Wolf Yoga” by itself, since it was too serene an image to clutter up with a candelabra from Mabs list and frozen from the […]
Local foot freedom crusader, Kriss, contacted me to draw a cartoon to accompany his latest blog entry regarding the shaming that barefoot people are subjected to, particularly on airlines. This Scarlet Letter-inspired comparison was the result:

Combining the prompts for Day 2: #Catacombs from Mabs Drawlloween Club, #Mindless (see how the skull have no minds/brains in them, even the fresh one) from Inktober, and #Dracula’s Yard Sale from the Drawlloween list. Hey, how do you expect Dracula to draw more victims into his catacombs if he […]
Once again, I’m going to participate in an October drawing challenge to push creativity and improve skills in different types of media styles (and it’s kind of fun to have an open-ended assignment each day to do on the iPad). This year, I’m combining prompts from different Drawlloween lists: RING […]
This week’s new issue of Mountain Xpress (the local alt-weekly paper for Asheville, NC) features another cover illustration from me. I was tasked to come up with a concept to illustrate the story about the history of the monuments located in an old local church. This assignment was tricky, because the Confederate […]
This week’s new issue of Mountain Xpress (the local alt-weekly paper for Asheville, NC) features another cover illustration from me. I was tasked to come up with a concept to illustrate the story about the vast amount of election campaign contributions for the two local district representatives that come from […]
