Inktober for Charity, Day 17: Rip from Yellowstone #Inktober #JDRF #StillBrave @JDRF @stillbrave @KevinBednarz

September’s series of musical selections is officially over! It’s October! Or should I say . . . Inktober?

Do you remember what happened the last time I celebrated Inktober? No? Well, you’re not going to like it. You’re certainly not go to like this one. You see, a friend posted to Facebook a list of Inktober assignments, and being the smartass I am, I’ve taken on (synonym: stolen) those assignments despite my . . . “modest” drawing skills. Look, mine will be funnier, okay? I’d link to his (which are going to be much better), but he protects his tweets. You’ll have to settle for mine.

He’s drawing for a charity by offering his drawings for sale, the proceeds for which go to the Stillbrave Childhood Cancer Foundation. Noble, but my choice of charity is the JDRF. Unfortunately, no one will buy my work, so until their link breaks, you can directly donate here. Or you can donate to Stillbrave. I won’t get angry. Here are the assignments:

Day 17: Rip from Yellowstone

I’ve never seen this show, so I almost drew Yogi Bear as a joke.

Instead, I drew Rip. Which is still a joke. I have no idea what it is with me and fingers/hands.

Day 16: Stevie Ray Vaughn

I almost don’t want to do this one. There have been only three celebrity deaths that really bothered me: Sam Kinison, Chadwick Boseman, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Kinison bothered me despite being a casual fan of his. This is because in college I was an avid Howard Stern fan, and his death hit them hard. With constantly mourning coming from my radio, it rubbed off on me. Boseman bothered me because he was too young and was a major part of an intellectual property franchise for whom my excitement is exceeded only by Star Trek. As for Stevie Ray Vaughn, I picked up guitar and bass in 1985. I subscribed to the fantastic Guitar for the Practicing Musician magazine. Every month, they provided sheet music, both traditional and tablature, for four to five rock/pop/metal songs, and sometimes guitar-based songs from other genres (e.g., Bach’s Bouree in E Minor from the March, 1988 issue). The first issue I got had Greensleeves as adapted by Jeff Beck, Message in a Bottle by the Police, Mississippi Queen by Mountain, I Wanna Be Somebody by W.A.S.P., and Couldn’t Stand the Weather by Stevie. That was my introduction to Stevie Ray Vaughn, and I never looked back. I’d say he inspired my music, but I’ve never been a good enough player or songwriter for that to make sense.

At least he looks happy.

Day 15: A Clockwork Orange

A while back, I decided to take advantage of all my streaming services and watch a lot of classic films I’d never seen. This one was on my list, which according to Facebook I watched on August 30, 2019. The theme of the movie is an important one, but I honestly found it poorly executed. Also according to Facebook, that night I had one of the strangest dreams I’d ever had in my life. I have no memory of how it went.

I’m not saying I’m good, but . . . . No, I should stop there.

Day 14: Jaws

I saw Jaws in the theater when it came out, to my recollection, I never saw it again until July 3 of this year. This is a movie you should watch every Independence Day. I’m not a fan of horror because, among other things, I find it ridiculous, but this movie is terrifying.

Notice the shading? Of course not. I don’t know how to do that. It always looks terrible. Of course, all of these look terrible.

Day 13: Classic Frankenstein

Here’s a convoluted story. In the early 2000s, I joined a shared beach house in Dewey Beach, DE. This is where a bunch of 30-40 year olds rent out a space in a huge beach home. You get a bed to sleep in a room with others, all of whom are horny people approaching the years when they should get married. It’s a mess. Anyway, there was this tall guy in the house that everyone noted looked like Frankenstein’s monster, though of course they all referred to him as Frankenstein. Eventually, he found out. He had a good sense of humor about it, so everyone was fake-consoling him. I came up to him and said, “No, no, you don’t look like Frankenstein . . . . You look like Frankenstein’s monster.” After taking a bow, I said, “I’ll be hear all summer.” He was a good guy. I hope he’s doing well.

I don’t know how, but instead of an annoyed adult, he came across as a curious child. Wearing headphones, I guess. The idea that Dr. Frankenstein could have done this to a child is a horrifying thought. So I did okay, right? Right?

Day 12: The Lost Boys

Here’s a link to the man who’s idea I’m stealing. He ran the All-Star Comic Con a few years back. At one of his events, Tim Cappello, the saxophone guy from the Lost Boys, was a guest. I played saxophone as a kid. Coincidence? Well, yes. Obviously. But I still have to draw the Lost Boys. Here’s a compromise.

I swear that’s supposed to be Keifer Sutherland. At least he can’t sue me for appropriation of his likeness.

Day 11: Dark Shadows

Dark Shadows was before my time. It started before I was born and ended when I was 3, so I never saw it. I did see the 2012 film based on the TV series, so this is my drawing of what I remember.

He’s supposed to look shocked but instead came out sad. At least I was able to capture some emotion. Oh, and that’s supposed to be an argyle scarf.

Day 9: Salem’s Lot

This series of posts is exposing how little of a movie-going history I had back in the day. On top of that, my parents were too cheap for cable TV until it became commonplace. We didn’t even get a VCR until after most of my peers, and then it was a fight to rent the movie I wanted. (This hints at why Star Trek III is such a special movie to me, but I digress.) I never saw the original Salem’s Lot except for the ending. If I recall correctly, it came on while I was channel surfing, so I watched it. I did see the Rob Lowe miniseries once. Once.

And now we’re back to the shit.

He looks like a knock-off superhero wearing Hannibal Lecter’s mouthguard.
