Week two of Inktober and my rules of engagement are to work with Bic ballpoint pens on small coloured post-it notes that are 75cm (3 inches) square.

Dear Arachnophobia type people, be not afraid, these … Continue reading Inktober 2019 Week Two.<\/span> ![\"Mad](\"https:\/\/stooryduster.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/08-inktober-frail.jpg\")
<\/a>Dear Arachnophobia type people, be not afraid, these are Harvestmen not Spiders. This science woman loves them. She has tattoos saying I love Opilions. Done in Black and blue Bic biro, white ink gel pen and orange pencil on a pink post-it note. <\/p>\nInktober prompt 9: Swing.<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Dedicated swinger in the night. A Scotsman<\/span> playing\u00a0golf<\/span> in the moonlight with his balls painted luminous. His trusted caddy in tow. His divot has flown in the other direction but resulted in a lucky escape for the worm<\/span>.<\/p>\nInktober prompt 10: Pattern.<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Herring. Or rather Herring bones. Once the plentiful silver darlings. This is no longer so. You cannot catch even one inshore with bait lines anymore. Times past, you could fill a rowing boat in a morning. We come too readily to accept as normal what we see around us. We should be outraged. In one lifetime I myself have witnessed these changes for the worse. Black Bic biro and ink gel pen on a purple post-it note.<\/p>\nInktober prompt 11: Snow.<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Bad luck for the skier about to land on the angry Polar Bear who\u2019s discovered who\u2019s responsible for global warming. White ink gel, blue post-it note, blue biro, white & orange pencils. I re-used an idea from my illustration of the Scottish word feerochry here<\/a>.<\/p>\nInktober prompt 12: Dragon.<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Can you follow the Celtic knot from the tail to the head? Red and black Bic biros + white ink gel pen on post-it note with orange & yellow pencils. I spent a long time developing the dragon and consequently used it three times. Once here, then second again for ‘ash’ with only a small alteration and then a third version, redrawn, much improved, coloured and reworked for the Scottish word Contermacious here<\/a>.<\/p>\nInktober prompt 13: Ash.<\/h3>\n
<\/a>The dragon replies. I spent so much time on the previous prompt dragon I decided to repurposed it so that the fireman failed with his feeble extinguisher and it fitted the next prompt ‘ash’. Flesh vaporised and bones crumble to ash – Unlucky 13. I redrew the left side and corner section and digitally pasted it into the previous image.<\/p>\nInktober prompt 14: Overgrown.<\/h3>\n
<\/a>An overgrown spire with a Damsel in distress \u2013 hands blistered from wielding garden shears day and night.\u00a0 Up clamber the Prince Charmings. But if they don\u2019t climb quickly enough \u2013 the overgrowth grows right through their middle as well as through the brickwork. Black Bic biro, white ink gel pen, green post-it note and colour pencils.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
