CHAINS,SCRATCHY, SHALLOW, DANGEROUS etc INKTOBER CONTINUES

The word was Chains,, so I drew a bank of fast food store chains, all in a row. I could not find any photos for this so I had to imagine it.

The word was Shallow. My cat scratches the word work, and me, when I walk too fast past her, so she’s my Miss Scratchy Baby!

The word was Shallow. Sea turtles are swimming in shallow water when you can see their shadows on the sea floor beneath them.

The word was Dangerous. This drawing depicts a young man singing in the bathtub while radio blasts out music, but little does he know the vibrations threaten to topple the radio into the tub…and we all know what happens then!

The word was Remove, so I drew an eviction as that’s how landlords remove an undesired tenant from their properties.

This time the word Beast suggested a young girl, understood to be beautiful, who looks in the mirror and sees only a beast. I don’t think this beast successfully captured what I wanted to depict, but there you have it.

This time the word was Sparkle, which stumped me until a friend said “eyes sparkle” and suggested I draw a detailed eye. Thank you, Mizzy!

Angel, Demon, Saddle, Plump, Frost— Inktober2023

Destroying Angel is an extremely poisonous mushroom in the Amanita genus.

Demon or Daimon can mean a god or deity so i chose to draw the Venus of Dolni Vestonice found in the Czech Republic and perhaps as old as 29,000 years. One of the oldest ceramic objects ever found.

Saddle shoes are full of nostalgia for me whereas saddles that go in horses etc mean little.

The word Plump brought to mind a plump ripe fig nearly bursting its skin with sweetness.

First frost of the season is coming soon and there are not enough shelters for all of these fellow human beings…
