#InkTober #5 – Manatee, Manatee Cove Park.

by on Oct.06, 2024, under Illusration

#InkTober #5 – Inked this manatee for a series of small illustrations I’m doing that will be available via Fine Art America, EBay and a local antique store in Melbourne.

Each critter picture is associated for a local park.
This for Manatee Cove Park in Brevard County, Florida.

Now penciled and inked. Next is to watercolor.
May do that during a YouTube live as this was inked.

#InkTober #3 – Shy Mushroom

by on Oct.04, 2024, under Cartooning, Illusration

#InkTober #3 – Cartoonist John Sanford shocked me by claiming he couldn’t come up with a drawing for an Inktober prompt, “Shy Mushroom”, from something called ‘ArtSnacks’. I thought Sanford could draw from anything!
My 45 years making up drawings, mostly involving caricature, any words have me conjuring up whatever.
So this October 3rd evening, I drew my version of ‘Shy Mushroom’. Shy of a bunny. 🙂
Made the drawing up as I drew.

by on Oct.02, 2024, under Cartooning, Illusration

#InkTober #2 –During the live YouTube program, Ha-Ba-Da-Bee, the Utah fellow was there and I embarked to draw a cliff and bring the alligator from Inktober 2 and put him in a bit of jeopardy.


You can see the programs here:

Grabbed a Flair for this one on stray paper I had grabbed.

It appears I’m back…here!

by on Oct.02, 2024, under Cartooning, Illusration

Since February my blog has been in limbo. I’ve tried to get it back. It just may be back.

2 1/2 weeks ago all of my Facebook pages were taken away, apparently, due to a hacker. I’m now trying to get those back. Will that take 7 months, too? Well see.

Here are 3 live drawings I did this past Sunday during live drawings on my YouTube cartooning channel. With the loss of Facebook, I’ve putting more time in YouTube. Also plan to add more to Rumble.

Hope to post more here. As mentioned, we’ll see. 🙂
