#inkTober #20 drawings – Kinder and Spaghetti fun!

by on Oct.26, 2024, under Cartooning

Starting this #InkTober #20 for October 20th, I started the live program opening a Kinder egg and out popped an odd little Gumby-looking piece and a separate piece of cardboard attachments that could be attached to make various characters. looked spaceman-like to me.
So, I inked – no pencils, made up as I drew – a spaceman named Bob – aren’t they all? – in a Kinder egg world with faces like the Gumby-looking figure.

This one of two inked during the program. The second is below.
The ones drawn, so far, for InkTober are here:

The 2nd drawing involved chat response of Andrea to dinner offerings and gummy bears.
An old Dick van Dyke drawing came up with attendee Melissa directing dance moves.

#InkTober #18 – Dr. Bulldog in trouble!

by on Oct.23, 2024, under Cartooning


During the InkTober Live drawing program October 18th, I started drawing a bulldog based on a mention of a Boston terrier in the chat. I don’t know how to draw a Boston terrier, so bulldog it is. Doctors, kitties, fountains and more came out. Old school mate, Steve Gallancy came up as he was among those to connect on my current Facebook page. Thought I’d try to draw him as I did back in high school. Steve got plopped in a gold cart-Model-T machine came up as the chat turned to round-a-bouts and The Villages.

Made up as I drew.

#InkTober #15 – Happy Birthday & Gopher Tortoise!

by on Oct.16, 2024, under Cartooning

The #InkTober #15 live broadcast over on YouTube celebrated little Mason’s 5th birthday.
Happy Birthday, Mason!
(He was harder to draw for me as his newest haircut made him look so much different than I knew him as!)

Also after a nearby visit to Turkey Creek Sanctuary earlier in the day came up in the chat and I drew a common resident at the park, a gopher tortoise.

All made up as I inked. No pencils or plans.

#InkTober #10 – Drawing a Crowd.

by on Oct.15, 2024, under Caricatures, Cartooning

October 10th had me improvising what popped up in the chat area for InkTober #10. This was the 2nd drawing. One visiting was from “somewhere near Minnesota and Michigan”, thus the map. Mention of Minnesota had me remember, my old pal & caricaturist, Greg Gray. Banjos, laughing dogs, dinosaurs, Chinese and My Little Pony all became part of the chat area.

Made up as I drew.

#InkTober #10 – Buffalo Football !

by on Oct.13, 2024, under Cartooning, Illusration

October 10th’s InkTober #10 recorded over on YouTube had a visitor from northern New York. I asked her about Rochester. She said it was nearby. That got me talking about the great Dave “Bippy” Boyer, caricaturist, Rochester Good Will Ambassador and all around good egg. Thus, I started scrawling Bippy.

That led to mention of the Buffalo Bills and my drawing Bippy as a skilled football player.
This led me to mentioning another friend and good egg, Jennifer Huber, avid Buffalo Bills fan. That had me adding her dog, Radcliffe, and cats into the game. Jennifer to the side, cheering.

Chat turned to viking helmets and Bippy gets assistance of a lad donned with viking chapeau.

The live drawing of this and others from October 10th can be sen here:
