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 25: The Warriors

Great movie. In the City by Joe Walsh is also great.

He’s got a huge head.

Day 24: Beastie Boys

I mentioned the Beastie Boys last month. That was unintentional foreshadowing.

It doesn’t even look like them. Would you know who these guys were if you didn’t know?

Day 23: Pulp Fiction

There’s a lot wrong with all my drawings, but this one puts almost all of it together. Apparently, Sam Jackson had major surgery removing the right side of his torso. You can see a less pronounced issue with Vinny. He’s a lot taller than Travolta for some reason. Both of these come from the fact that I don’t get size right. I draw a line intending it to be one size, but the result is inconsistent with what appears in the rest of the drawing. I also couldn’t handle the parallax with respect to the two guns, so they look like they’re shooting targets on different sides of the room.

All that said, I think Vinny’s tie is okay.

Day 22: Hulk Hogan

I’ve long since abandoned pro wrestling. It’s not my thing anymore. But as a child, in high school (1982-1986), and again in law school (1996-2000), I was an avid fan. I was around for most of Hogan’s biggest accomplishments.

Yet another drawing making the subject look like a Talosian. The image also looks like “Hogan” is wearing a shirt. He’s not. Those are wristbands around his wrists, and I merged his neckline with the chain he’s wearing.

Day 21: The Big Lebowski

This movie came out in 1998 while I was still in law school, so no, I didn’t see it in the theater back then. I saw it via Netflix on May 3, 2015 (Facebook never forgets), and it instantly became one of my favorites. On January 21, 2020, I got to see it in the theater with a couple of friends (again, Facebook). As with Life of Brian, I’ll watch this movie every time I have a couple hours to kill and think to put it on. I have two favorite scenes: 1) him crashing his car within seconds of putting it in drive; and 2) his switch between doing a spit take after finding out Maude is pregnant to moments later casually mentioning that he was going to be a father soon as if there was nothing worrisome about it.

Trivia: The original feminine form of dude was dudine (I hate using the Merriam-Webster dictionary). Dudette is relatively new (circa 1991). Dude has since became gender-non-specific. I still use dudine to sound smart. I don’t think it’s working.

Day 19: Hocus Pocus

Yet another movie from my childhood or young adulthood that I’ve never seen, but everyone else seems to have. It appears they’ve vetted it for me and saved me the misery of watching it. On the other hand, it’s got a sequel last month almost 30 years later. Straight to streaming!

They don’t look nearly as funny as the original image does.

Day 18: Thanos

As I said on Day 16, only Star Trek ranks higher for me as a film or TV intellectual property. I thought this one would be relatively easy.

Good gravy, I suck. At least they’d have a hard time suing me for copyright violation.

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.
