InkTober 2017 – Day 15: Mysterious

Yes, there is a recurring theme in my toons right now.  I dread going to work tomorrow knowing I will be exposed to something in the air that the safety people can’t find, yet at least four of us are suffering severely from the effects of its presence.

My hope is that we can help them find it. Peacefully  quickly,  and professionally.  As a team.  🙂

Come on detectives!   We’ve got work to do!!!!

InkTober 2017 – Day 14: Fierce

Today’s is a two-parter.  I had to draw both versions so you can see the truth!!!

Those galvanized steel chains, that platinum spiked color, etc., yeah…. Only in her head.  But goes to show, it doesn’t matter how people see us, it’s what we do with how we see ourselves that often makes the difference!!

So, without further ado,  here’s Ruben’s Boosy-Bear, freshly groomed, to boot!  She’s the one on the right.  🙂

InkTober 2017 – Day 13: Teeming

I didn’t want to draw hundreds of animals teeming.  I didn’t want to draw overflow of emotions.  The Lord himself provided this inspiration, thanks to me being one day behind.  Took a lot longer because I wanted to honor the participants.  I am sure I didn’t get the clothes and eye colors right, but to me, I recognize each and every one who was there today in that picture.

My fear?  Did I forget someone who did make it this month? 🙂

InkTober 2017 – Day 12: Shattered

Of course, being so sensitive myself, this is what came to mind with the word “shattered.”. There is so much heartbreaking news every day.  How do we manage to survive with hope intact? Hm….

InkTober 2017 – Day 11: Run

I challenged my dad to draw something related to “run” with me.  Then I thought of how run just never is in my mind when I think of my dad.  Here’s just one example of why.

Now mind you, *ALL* soldiers on post were required to run. Even my boss and military co-workers.   Just how he got out of it, I will never know….  I wonder if my son inherited that finagling (sp?) gift??  😉

Was really fun to draw!!!  🙂

InkTober 2017 – Day 10: Gigantic

I didn’t know what I could draw to represent “Gigantic” and started worrying.  Then I step outside to have lunch in my car.  I look up and grin.  Seriously,  the BIGGEST Yoshi in the clouds grinning back at me!!!  How awesome was that?!?!?!

InkTober 2017 – Day 9: Screech

This one looks way different because of the markers.   It was an experiment.  I need more definition for the baby birds and the parents ‘ wings, I think…  maybe more of the main objects because of the deep colors of the Stabilo markers (Pen 68s).  But I still like it.  🙂

InkTober 2017 – Day 8: Crooked

Hee hee!  I was so focused on trying to find that picture of the guy on the subway who was holding a giant cheese puff (blast that click bait anyway!!) that this is what came to mind for “crooked.”

But it sure was fun to draw!!!

Inktober 2017 – Day 7: Shy

Still one day behind, but catching up.

I’m not usually shy, so I had to think about what brings it on for me.  Lots of chances growing up as a military brat.  🙂
