What is Inktober?

Inktober is an annual month-long event when a prompt word will be posted for each day of October.

What is Inktober 52?

Inktober 52 is what happens during the months that aren't October. A new prompt will be posted once a week (typically Thursdays.)

How do I join in?

Simply draw by hand something based on or inspired by the prompt word. It can be inked traditionally (on paper,) or with a digital "ink" brush. The drawing can be anything from a simple doodle to an elaborate illustration. The color of the ink is negotiable.

Hello and Happy Thursday, Inkies!

Thanks for all your critter drawings. No, we haven’t caught ours yet, but we’re still on the hunt!

I was thinking about how it must feel to be Felix, the Flying Squirrel in my attic (yes, I named him) and having a bunch of humans trying to catch me. I was imagining myself in his shoes, trying to hide from a bunch of giants when all I want is to hide out in my nice little cozy home. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be hard to catch. All they’d have to do is stick a good grilled cheese sandwich in the trap and I’d be a goner. You can picture the sandwich, can’t you? I’m talking about really good homemade bread, crispy on the outside, loads of hot melty cheese with maybe a little pesto in there and a slice of tomato if we’re feeling fancy; the kind of sandwich that leaves your fingers greasy and requires 9 napkins to wipe your hands on afterwards. I could definitely be caught with one of those. Maybe I’ll try that on Felix.

While I’m busy making myself a sandwich, see what you can come up with for GREASY.

Love you all and wishing the very best things for you this week

-Alison
