Ink it up

Two more days until 24 Hour Comics begins.  Before that, there's a "Buckaroo Banzai" 30th anniversary showing to attend, followed by a night of murderous mayhem (artistically speaking) at the annual Art of Horror opening.

And because my plate was simply not full enough, I am trying to squeak in the Inktober challenge to boot!  Read about the challenge here on his site, and browse through his artwork.  Wow, he can handle the ink.

Last year, for my first attempt at the challenge, I went with photos of people I found online (a mix of friends & celebrities.)  I didn't quite complete the challenge, sort of fizzled at about 14 or 15 (and only posted up to #12.)
This year my goal is to draw a different "Mode de Monstre" piece each day.  Size will be 4" x 6" and they'll remain black & white for now.

So without further ado, I present my Inktober #1 for 2014:

Just about destroyed that old 005 Micron with this drawing! 

Art of Horror Returns!

This art show is when I get to really celebrate the Halloween spirit, because we live in an area with zero trick-or-treaters.  Sad!  So break out your own costumes and join us this Friday to check out the  "sinister but lovely images" on view throughout the S.P.A.C.E. Gallery.  

Meet the artists, see art, more art, lots of art, plus costumes, tarot card readings, 

and a Day of the Dead shrine for the spirits of artists who have passed!  

I have three works in the show, here's a very reflective snapshot of one:

And what's right around the corner?  24 HOUR COMICS DAY!

More to come on that soon, or check out the basic info on our page here.
