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 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.

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

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.

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?

This is seriously the best I can do.

I’m Stealing Inktober from @KesselJunkie and All the Artsy-Fartsy Types! #Inktober

I’ve decided to steal the Inktober hashtag for myself, and I promise, the artsy-fartsy types will never recover. Here’s my interpretation of a visit to the park in autumn.

I actually drew this. I shit you not.

When I was an undergraduate, I took an Art History course. I showed up to the first class, and then to the last class, which was the final exam. I’m going to analyze my art like I did the art in the museum for the final.

The artist uses omegas for the lower part of the body so that he doesn’t forget to draw the feet. Brilliant. Notice the use of perspective. Notice the lines. So curvy and inspiring. And the colors. Blue and white. So inspiring. I’m inspired. Trees are great. Art is great. You were a great teacher.

I passed Art History. True story.

Art is in the eye of the beholder, so is Kirk punching Obi-Wan or Bid Laden?

Inktober is mine!
