#inktober2015 number 28 a spider and web inspired by a clip art version.  Windy today, blew the rain clouds out of her, and the sun came out.  Reminded me of the Itsy, bitsy spider rhyme... so I had to do a spider today.

#Inktober2015 number 27 today's prompt was 'green',  so a green fish with an underbite.  I go into these challenges with a lot of enthusiasm but as they draw to a close I find I am weary of it and ready to do something, anything different.  One more page in this journal and I'll be changing to a Moleskine Watercolor Journal next, which should last through the end of the year.

#Inktober2015 number 26 I'm taking Lynn Chapman's Craftsy class this cat was one of her animal examples, well my rendering of her animal.  I'm enjoying the class, if you're interested here's the link Expressive Picture Book Characters.

#Inktober2015 number 25, an ink and inktense pencil colored lizard.  I have two (basic green) lizards that live in the window beside my desk, as I'm a night owl and have the lights on late I image dinner is an easy catch for them.  I used artistic license to make my green lizard more colorful.

#Inktober2015 number 24... we played the Greenville Swamp Rabbits last night in Greenville (we lost) and tonight in Charleston, we lost ago.  Greenville has a new mascot nickname they used to be the road warriors, but for some unknown reason they changed it to 'Swamp Rabbits'.  Normally, a rabbit wandering the swamps around here would be FOOD for the gators.  But based on our teams lackluster performance, it appears that Stingrays are the rabbit food.

#Inktober2015 number 23, I'd already done my thumb so with no inspiration today, I drew my fist.  Used Tombow markers around the drawing and added water with a waterbrush

#Inktober2015 number 21, orange and yellow watercolor, then inked in a spooky scene.  Today was the day dialed into the time machine in the 'Back to the Future' movie.  Will the Cubs Win today?  The movie predicted they'd win.  They also predicted hover skateboards and that didn't happen either. #inktober #kuretakeinktober #kuretake #usa

#Inktober2015 number 20, used pencil for the moon, marker for the bat, and inktense pencils for the night sky.  Got a Pentalic Aqua Journal yesterday, thought I'd ordered an 8 x 5, got a 3 x 5 whoopsi... the universe is determined for me to downsize my sketchbooks... but the universe can push all it wants I'm just not ready to downsize my daily sketchbook quite so small.  #inktober #kuretakeinktober #usa

#Inktober2015 number 19 pencil, inked and then used markers to color him.  Went to Doctor this morning, he thinks the ear looks good and it is accepting the skin graft.  He took pictures so I got him to take a picture of it with my phone.  I will have to bow to his assessment, because I think it looks pretty bad.  #inktober #kuretakeinktober #usa

#inktober2015 number 18 an orange kitty, I had an orange tom cat years ago named Burger King, because that's where I found him one rainy night and took him home with me.  I do believe orange is one of my favorite colors.  What a difference a day can make, today the Stingrays were skunked by Reading 6 to 0, it was not fun to witness them getting demolished like that.

#inktober2015 number 17, pencil sketch, inked, then watercolor to commemorate the Stingrays first home game of the season.  I do love hockey, we've had season tickets to our local ECHL team since I moved here in 1998, Ron has had tickets since the team was established back in 1993.  #inktober #kuretake #usa #kuretakeinktober

#inktober2015 number 16, more Tombow pen and a ghost to scare you.  Stayed home from work today, didn't get much sleep last night after the lidocaine wore off the pain woke me up and kept me up.  Hoping to get some sleep tonight. #inktober #kuretake #usa #inktoberkuretake

#Inktober2015 number 15, a simple one today, used Tombow markers to color this one.  Spent all day getting Mohs surgery on a cancer spot on my ear.  The doctor used the skin on my neck to graft on the hole left in my ear.  The lidocaine shots haven't worn off yet, so no pain yet, how about a selfie of the bandaged ear.  #inktober #kuretakeinktober #usa #kuretake
