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:

I don’t know all of these things.

And here is today’s entry.

Day 7: Ghostbusters

Okay, this is a cheat, but we all know this is for the best.

Despite the fingers on the right hand, this could be my best work ever.

Before you laugh, try to remember that it’s for charity. Then laugh.

Day 6: Michael Myers

I thought about doing the obnoxious thing — smartass, remember? — and drawing the actor, but I thought I might be able to get this one right.

The first version would have gotten me in trouble. I won’t say anything more than that.

Huh? Huh?

Day 4: Eddie from Iron Maiden

I don’t go to a lot of concerts, so when I go, it’s because I really want to see that band. Iron Maiden’s Seventh Son tour was the first time I’ve ever been on the floor. Soldier Field doesn’t count.

It’s not as if he’s supposed to look good.

Day 3: Pinhead

I saw only the second Hellraiser on VHS back in the 80s, and so this image is dedicated to the version of me that existed back then. I would have preferred a Pinhead with boobs back then. I haven’t changed much, so I still do.

Boobies!

I started with the chin. I have a real problem drawing then (too pointy), and it went downhill from there. Hell, this looks more like an original series Talosian.

Ah, the subject of one of my two recurring nightmares.

It came out looking like he was wearing a Zardoz outfit.

Day 1: Leatherface

I didn’t see any iteration of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre until well into the 2000s. I think it was a remake, but I honestly don’t remember. I’m not a fan of horror, though Mother’s Day has a special place in my heart.

I’m looking for endorsement money.

To make some of you feel as old as I do, here are things that have or will turn 50 this year. Some held up very well.

The sequel was better. 🙂

Even the younguns know this one now.

Oops.

Awkward.

A “Wet Paint” song.

Basically matheletes.

A song remade this many times must be great.

Just the theme song is all it takes to make me laugh.

But it took 47 years to release a chicken sandwich.

My cousin, Tom, always beat me at this at Mr. T’s restaurant.

All of these things are younger than I.

A Gift for Me #art

I focus my legal practice almost completely in real estate law, which includes, among other things, real estate closings. To my recollection, today was the first time I received a gift during closing.

“One art, please!” — Zoidberg

As you know, I’m all about giving credit, but in this case, I chose otherwise.

She was a sweet kid, and I’ve filed this under “classical art” on my blog. I’m going to save this even though I admit it’s a bit creepy to do so. It sure blew away my gift from our office’s white elephant gift exchange. 🙂

Don’t tell the state bar I’m accepting gifts now.

Sundays now are lazy days for me. I either post something silly or other people’s work. Usually both. Today, it’s neither. This is actually my work. Once again, I’m showing off my artistic prowess by publishing my work to the internet. This is valuable, copyrighted material, so don’t go selling forgeries on eBay.

Self Criticism GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

First up is a self-portrait of me at Winter Fantasy, which was just set for February 2-6, 2022, in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I’m sorry that I didn’t draw Ronald Reagan onto the shirt, but my religion forbids me to draw pictures of the man. I’ll wear the shirt though. The shirt-maker can tangle with the Almighty.

It’s uncanny how well I capture the shape of my hands.

The lines on my big brain come from all that intelligenting. Next up is one of those friendly, catalog model shots, but with me at work. This represents my formal days when I had my beard formally groomed. I should really get that tattoo removed.

Again, intelligenting.

That’s it. I’m sure that’s enough. Oh, and did I mention Winter Fantasy?

May be an image of text

This is seriously the best I can do.
